How do you stop your self from talking to your self out loud all the time?!


Question: How do you stop your self from talking to your self out loud all the time!?
I think I have a medical or Psychological problem here!.
When I was in Fourth grade, I had a teacher that acted like a drill Sergeant!. He was a complete *** hole and I had a real problem with this teacher! I hated his guts!.
My mom and dad did not care about it and never got me out of the class!.
I am NOT trying to blame my folks, however, ever since then, I have had a real problem of talking to my self!. I don't do it on purpose, but with out thinking about it, I do it all the time!.
I have tried to stop doing it all my life now, but I can't control it! I need some help!.
My friends have picked on me about it, relatives and even total strangers have mentioned to me that I am doing it and that I should stop! It is embarrassing! But I can't stop on my own!.
Maybe I was extremely traumatized by that teacher and it is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, IDK!.
But now that I am 34 years old, it is time to do some thing!.
Can Doctors, Psychologists or any one help!? Or maybe prescribe medication!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think you're making way too big a deal out of it!. Talking to yourself is eccentric, not crazy!. It's one of your little quirks, and I don't think it should hamper you in life unless you let it!. I do it from time to time myself, and nobody seems to think I'm nuts (well at least not for that reason)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Should I do this!? No, I don't think so!. Are you sure!? Well, I'm sure if you're sure-" "Who are you talking to!?" Uh, oh!. You've done it again!. You were talking to yourself, and freaked out a passer-by!. Have you ever been in this awkward stituation!? If so, read on!.
Decide whether or not it is a problem!. Only you can decide if it is a problem!. If it is a serious problem, you may need therapy to determine what is causing it!. Ask youself these questions:
Is the first thing someone hears from me is me talking to myself!?
Do people give me weird looks while I'm walking around!?
Have my teachers ever recommended me to the school counselor!?
Is me talking to myself such a big problem that I try to avoid public situations to prevent embarrasment!?
Make conversations with people!. Sometimes, the only reason you're talking to yourself is because you have no one else to talk to!. But if you make small talk with people frequently, then you should eventually stop talking to yourself!.
Try to keep the conversation inside your head!. As soon as you find you are talking to yourself outloud, shut your mouth closed!. This way, the conversation should continue on in your head!. Press your teeth down on your lips so you cannot open your mouth!. This will help dramatically!.
Cut down talking to yourself!. Only allow yourself to do it while searching for keys, glasses, change, etc!. But be careful with this step, because once you allow yourself to talk outloud, you might start talking to yourself at other times too!. Have strict rules to limit your talking, and if you've followed them for a week, do something to reward youself, i!.e!. watch a movie, buy candy, etc!.



[edit] TipsTry to think a lot more than you talk!. When you find yourself talking outloud, simply become aware that you are doing so!.
If it is a serious problem, visit a counselor for a diagnosis!.



[edit] WarningsIf you believe that it could be a serious problem, visit a counselor for recommendations!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
