Nope I don't. If I do I don't realize it. :P When I'm home alone and feeling creative I may say one or two things out loud but never babble on like some do. I know someone who talks to themself but I wouldn't call them a genius.

I do think a lot though probably more than most people since I have so much free time I get thinking about silly nonsense and situations and questions that most people would ask, "Who cares?" That does not make me smart though... kinda makes me crazy. Nah I'm not crazy.... everyone else is.

Well said John, well said.

The voices in my head think you're crazy.


Nah I just meant to say I think a lot but not carry out conversations in my mind. I'm a deep thinker despite what most think. I tend to keep my deep thoughts to myself and don't express them very well although there are one or two people who have seen that shine through. So basically I'm smarter than I act. :roll: ...but I'm not a genius. :)

Yes, my image has to get compliments/remarks from the mirror! ;)

Okay, I'm really JUST KIDDING on that! :lol:

But hmmm...I think I do. :roll:
But there's nothing wrong, because in my PSYCH classes, studies showed that people talk to themself to

1.) motivate themselves ("You gotta do this! You can do this!")
2.) criticize themselves. ("How the heck did you fail this?")

And no, those aren't the conversations I have with myself; I got it from my book. :p

I don't talk to myself in public, if that's what the question is asking. Because then I'd get weird looks (like Dave)! (jk dude!)
EXCEPT...unless I'm shopping. For example: "Would this skirt go well with that top I bought?"

I find myself having all sorts of deep conversations in my head. I assume it's myself I'm talking to, but you can never be quite sure. :roll:

Hrm... not in public? XD

I don't hold conversations with myself or anything but I do think out loud sometimes.

No, I don't.

Shut up, Loomis - don't talk to them.

Well, sometimes I do, but only...

Quiet fool. They'll be on to us.

No comment at this time.

Clap clap clap.

I do find myself talking to myself occasionally, if only to verbalise an idea in the hopes it will sound better if spoken.

I think you are only crazy if you start answering yourself.

Yes, I do sometimes to support myself or to think about something. :wink:

Uh...I don't think so. I'm not quite sure. I'll have to see if I ever catch myself doing it... :wink:

I don't hold conversations with myself (that would be crazy) but I sometimes say things out loud when no one is there, usually if I'm writing something to see how it sounds too or trying to think or various ways to say things I test them seeing which one seems best beforehand.
