Talking to yourself...how bad are you?


Recommended Posts

Ok, so in work and just went to the gents. Entered the room, it seemed empty, so embarked on a conversation with myself, don’t know why, just did, I do it all the time.

 

However I finish what I’m doing and cleaning up only to notice someone had come out of a cubicle and is staring at me whilst I'm having this full blown conversation with myself. Just a little embarrassed. Yet again.

 

It happens all the time, walking down the street, walking through the supermarket......are they going to put me away soon or am I not the only one who talks to myself oblivious to all and everything?

I often get home from a trip out and think to myself "Was I talking to myself on the bus?" and I sit there frantically trying to remember.

 

you know Jabber that’s the thing, I suddenly wake up and realise….uhh... I was talking to myself again, didn't even know I was doing it......maddness

I get that as well Jabber mate. When I come out of a day-dream (easily done on a bus) I often wonder if I've been making strange facial expressions or muttering to myself while completely oblivious to the rest of the world. Luckily nobody has really given me a strange look yet so I guess I either don't do it or the people sat around me are very polite or scared! :hihi:

I KNOW I talk to myself, for two main reasons:-

 

first my colleagues at work have complained that I keep talking too quietly so they can't hear, but I was just thinking out loud, like you do, so they asked me do it more quietly so as not to distract them

 

secondly, I sometimes find my dog watching my face avidly and looking very confused, or else he goes off like a nutter, because I've been thinking through an argument, if I'm chunnering about something I'm annoyed about he gets quite wound up.

 

I know if I stop I'll just wander round in circles like sick goldfish unable to remember who I am or where I'm going, so I keep doing it and who cares anyway!

 

Think its worse the other way round, if you're tired and you need to say something fairly banal like "excuse me" when you're getting off a bus, and you think it but you don't have enuf energy to actually say it. Then you aren't sure so you have to say it again, but maybe you did say it out loud the first time.

Maybe I should start taking drugs and drinking as a cover for my strange brain - then again, I may actually become a sick goldfish.
