Do you talk to yourself?

Question

My friends think I'm crazy because my thoughts come out of my mouth in words. Are you like me & think out loud & talk to yourself?

I don't talk to myself but my late boyfriend sure did and a lot and for long periods of time each time he would have a conversation with himself.

But I did read that very intelligent 🧠 people do in fact talk to themselves.

I used to tease him and say "I don't mind that you talk to yourself, but if you start answering yourself THEN I will begin to wonder 🤔 about you"❣️

By the he was exceptionally intelligent!! 🤓

If I am trying to remember something because I have a lot on my mind I will speak it aloud in hopes I retain the thought. Such as when shopping and what I need to grab in the store next. "Next.. milk." A man smiled at me once, so I owned it. "Yup. You caught me talking to myself."

All the time and love talking to myself.

Is it normal to constantly have conversations with yourself?

Yes, it is completely normal to talk to yourself. In fact, self-talk can have a significant impact on our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It can serve various purposes, such as problem-solving, organizing thoughts, boosting motivation, and regulating emotions.

Talking to myself is my thing.
I mostly do this when I'm thinking about something that I don't want to forget so I will think it out loud in other for me to hear it as words next time I want to remember it.

Often, haha.  Do you have “internal dialogue” in your mind, too? I heard some poll, and like half of people don’t have it, and that blew my mind.
