Sometimes I say things out loud that I'm not meant to.

There's been many times I've had a situation like wondering if someone likes me, or I've said something sooo dumb and walked away saying "omg I can't believe that just happened" or "cringe" or "yay he likes me" only to find the person or someone is within ear shot...

Or I go somewhere avd to remind myself I keep talking, then I get there and my mind wondered on to something else, and I'll say something like "why! Why did you do that. Now what did I come down here for?" *pace backwards pace forward*

"errgh what was it, how could you forget you was saying it the whole way down here!"

I've also been in a conversation on the phone, told tge person hold one second. Only to pull the phone away avd say to myself "is this spinach off?"
Open the fridge, check it and see that it's off.
"yea it's definitely off!"

The person on the phone then asks "who are you talking to?"

I say myself, "I was checking the spinach but it's a bit manky"

😨

When I'm alone I do. I feel like no one understands me so when I'm alone I feel like I can talk to someone that understands me which is myself. I sit in front of my mirror and then I vent about all my problems. The people in my life aren't understanding or emotionally available, but my mirror listens and cries with me!

I also write in my diary like the diary is it's own person, it helps with my mental health and help me feel less lonely, it feels like someone is actually listening.

I also talk to the trees in the woods sometimes. Legends say trees are great listeners and that they have a soul, so when I'm sad I vent to them.

I also talk with God sometimes, He understands me!

I talk with me all the time. But only in my head. I'm one of the most interesting people I've talked to, aside from me and myself.

Lmao, jk. I'm boring as hell...

I usually only take to myself when I'm making a decision. Observe:

Me: "I kind of want pizza for dinner today..."

Myself: "Well sure, pizza's good, but you had pizza yesterday!"

Me: "Exactly, and it was awesome, and now I want more!"

Myself: "But think of how good a nice, juicy hamburger would taste right about now..."

Me: "Mmmm, you're right... But hammers can be expensive, and the cheaper one's aren't as good."

Myself: "Sure, but we did find that place on 3rd Street in downtown that was affordable and very tasty."

Me: "Oh alright, hamburgers it is.

I: "I'll get the car keys!"

End of scene.

That happened yesterday, while I was laying on my couch watching the same five movies over and over for the past several hours.

Not out loud. But my mind is always talking to me back and forth. If something is funny or great i may talk outloud due to my feelings for that thing been too much. Like I was rewatching one of my favourite shows Bojack horseman as always and then i just started laughing realising something I never noticed before and been like "Oh how the hell did I not know that they never show this character they kept calling her geko then mention things about her that line up with what a geko would look like or act like for her to just be actually human"
You see in that show animals and alike are human in nature with the main guy been a horse man. So it's expecting you to think she's a Geko then to be surprised when not. But I didn't even notice that was there intension I just assumed they were human anyway.

Fireguy17 · Answer

I have, usually it is a high-pressure situation. The last time was when we were at a structure fire and I was running the engine, and I had to make the switch from the tank to drafting out of a portable tank.
I've done it a bazillion times before, but not with this engine.
We sold our main engine that I was used to, because our new engine will be here soon, we were using our heavy rescue engine which we rarely pump water with. The process is the same no matter what engine you are using, they are laid out a bit differently on the pump panel and will react differently to what you are doing.
So I opened the rear inlet, grabbed the primer, and because the engine was pumping I couldn't tell if the primer was spitting water or not which means you have a prime, or water to the pump, so I started closing the tank to pump valve and could see that the RPM was starting to go up, which told me that I was running short of water, so I closed the rear inlet and pulled the primer again and while I was priming it I started to close the tank to pump valve very slowly, so that pump would be looking for water and decide that using the water out of the portable tank would be a fun thing to do and that time I got it without any fluctuations in pressure or volume, so the attack crews never noticed that I made the switch. I had 1/4 tank of water left in my tank.
And I was talking myself through it the whole time as well as the engine.
It worked like a charm.
