Do you ever talk to the things you own?

Question

Apparently, talking to objects you own can be a sign of social intelligence…I talk to my car sometimes, especially on a road trip, because I feel sorry for it..😌😄

Yes I do talk to some objects that I own, well they are my "friends" not objects lol.

Sometimes I praise my cycle when I've had a good day out cycling.

Other times I might praise my cycle when there has been somewhere I needed to visit, with my cycle being the best mode of transportation, and my cycle has taken me there and back making my day a success.

Then probably less times than I should do, I praise my workhorse cycle for making my life so good.

But they know I care a great deal about them, because even though they may have had a hard life, they are still as good as when they first saw the light of the day lol.

There are some people like myself who can hear my voice on the inside of me talking to myself my voice is what I hear without me saying one word

Now who is that person is it the real me who is it because I'm not saying a word with my voice out loud

And there have been studies
And there are people that cannot do this

Speaking

Whenever I take my race cars on the tracks, I always talk to 'em.

"C'mon baby!"

"Let's reel 'em in!"

"We can do it this!"

"Momma's got you!"

"Just do your thing!"

"Let 'em eat your dust!"

"Mwah!"

I talk about my cat. 22 pounds. Has to tried to kill 3 dogs which initially chased him. I had to rescue the dogs. Yet he became fast friends with the neighbor's golden retriever. Maybe he believes in  Golden Supremacy.

I talk to my phone sometimes. But it does not keep secrets; so less often meanwhile.

As most things around us are made in China, I also have a language barrier.

Most of my conversations are single sided and outbursts of insults or curses.

The only time when I got a reply was in childhood: my teddy bear sometimes commented with: ''Bwoe'' (or similar). I tried google translate (voice input) but get no result for what it means.
