When you think, do you ever feel like you're talking to somebody?

I do it all the time, when I think, i'm quite literally addressing somebody. I don't know WHO, but SOMEBODY.

Oftentimes I end up actually saying what i'm thinking to a friend or something, and it makes me feel better about it, but it's kinda starting to freak me out. That I quite literally talk to somebody in my head.
 
You're obviously ****ing insane, go get check into a crazy house.
 
I tease my brother for talking to himself when he's watching shows and stuff... but in all honesty I find myself doing it occasionally too. I did it just now as I was reading some comics from the image dump aloud and laughing. Though I guess I wasn't technically talking to myself, which I don't do... but I was talking while nobody else was around... so basically the only person I was addressing was myself.
 
Well... I have feared I was the anti-christ several times before... so...

:shh:

NO! No schizophrenia!
 
I do that all the time.
Am I insane?
 
I was talking to someone about this the other day.

I literally talk to myself sometimes. In sentences. In my head. I think it's probably just a sign of AWESOMENESS.
 
I think talking to yourself is fairly normal. If you're routinely addressing inanimate objects or shadows or something as if to have a conversation, I think that's where it begins to cross the line between normal and abnormal.

oh no, it's nothing like that.

I'll just be thinking about something in my head, and i'll address some unknown third party.

Then when I don't get an answer, I tend to address somebody in real life.
 
lol i talk to myself...but it's not like a conversation. Like if im watching tv and something crazy happened ...i'd say aloud "what the fuuuck??" or soemthing like that...i don't think you're crazy if you do that lol
 
I like to shout "ROFLCOPTER" inside my head sometimes.
 
I talk to myself, its the only way Im garunteed inteligent conversation.

Mind if I use that line?

"9/11 Conspiracy huh? Oh yes...that's an interesting thought. Excuse me while I go over in that corner and talk to myself"
 
I actually quoted it off Blackadder because its one of the most wittiest retorts ever. And it was a joke, ****tard.
 
I mutter to myself occasionally, but I don't go around conducting full-blown conversations.
 
I've occasionally organized my thoughts as conversations with imaginary people, exactly like the OP described.

I also think out loud when I'm watching TV or playing videogames. I never realize it until after I do it; it's almost like talking in your sleep.
 
I often tell my thought to STFU because they're being stupid :p
 
I talk to myself. Every damn day. All the time. I have entire conversations with myself. Seriously.
 
Nah, I used to do this, just talking back and forth in my head as though there's two people in there. But it's not like I had two distinct sets of thoughts, it was just an easy way to rattle things off to myself, I guess. It actually got to the point where I'd think about things as though I was being interviewed sometimes, but I haven't done that in awhile now. :p

Edit - Wait, talking as in talking talking? Oh, yeah, you're nuts.

That's pretty much what I do. Only I do it out loud. Which unfortunately raises the crazy-level by several hundred percent to those observing me.
 
I try to ask myself stupid questions,so I don't come here asking,but it doesn't always work...
 
I'll sometimes have full on discussions/arguments in my head with each viewpoint (usually two) having a different persona. Unsuprisingly this happens when I'm unsure about something.
 
Wow, you have been making some pretty emo threads in the last 2 months? I sense danger...

I do it all the time. I think it's quite healthy, to be honest. Occasionally I will invent characters, but mostly it'll be me trying to sound like a British grandmother or something random.
 
Isn't talking to yourself in your head using sentences just the classic "internal monologue"? I do that a lot of the time, especially when thinking about logic problems.
 
I have conversions with myself, especially when I'm agitated or working out a problem.
 
No, but it sounds like someone is talking to me.

But I can't quite place the voice.

I talk to myself all the time. And inanimate objects, and NPCs in video games, and and and. I've told a lot zombies to go away because we're not friends, and I've threatened to break up with my graphics card many a time. (Our relationship actually just ended today, when I sent him back to newegg. We both agreed that it was time for us to go our separate ways, meet new people, and forget about each other. It wasn't a very healthy relationship for either of us.) You know, when I first got my graphics card, I told him that I thought he was cute and we should be good friends. Too bad it didn't work out.

Actually, I don't think I talk to myself nearly as much as I talk to my surroundings. It still happens occasionally, though.

I'm not sure that sleep deprivation can fully explain this post.

I'm not sure a post that awesome needs an explanation to begin with.
 
I usually talk to myself when I need to solve a problem, or I'm brainstorming. I like having something to bounce ideas off of, and so setting up an imaginary conversation either out-loud or in my head really helps me sort things out when I don't have a real person to do that with.
 
You know what's a bitch? When you have split personalities and one side withholds information from the other.

I know how to bake a triple-chocolate cake.

My 'brother' knows how to make waffles.

Neither of us will willingly give up the secret of the other's recipe. We horde them in tiny little alcoves in our brain; he watches his side and I watch mine. We'd collaborate, but then the other would know too much, and whichever one combined the two recipes first would gain dominance over this mind AND body.

And neither one of us is willing to let that happen.

RELATED STORY: My computer was making a weird noise, so I held my finger up to my lips and went "shhhhh" and it stopped. True story. It just happened.

I'm such an awesome storyteller.

Oh god I do stuff like that all the time, but I feel like such an idiot afterwards. It is best when it actually works.
