what do you do in private that you wonder if others do too

[twixter]

Me..I often interview myself when in the car as if I’m on a podcast. Any others?!

I narrate my cooking too.

And I construct in my head my pithy yet erudite, but also clear and accessible, verbal reviews of TV/films, books etc for when Radio 4 finally see sense and ask me onto Front Row

@Anordinarymum

I talk in accents when driving to amuse myself. I also tell myself jokes and laugh. I do not care if I am barmy. It gets me through the day thank you

You sound fab!

@KeepSmiling89 I do that ALL THE TIME. Me and DH used to sit in coffee shops looking out the window.

They've been married forever and hate each other.

They've just started dating.

That kid is on his way to a job interview.

She's a lawyer but her DH is is a cocklodger and she resents him.

I could do it allllllll day.

I'm imagine my dog is talking to me in a cockney or Birmingham accent - so I'll ask him a question and he'll reply: Oim oilroight mate, or naa oim just avin a snooze

Air instruments if I'm home alone. Guitar, drums, keys...sometimes I'll throw in a violin

Smile at myself in the mirror like I'm my own best friend happy to see me... Got caught once in a works loo and that was embarrassing 🤣

I pretend I am David Attenborough and describe my children's behaviour as though they are wild animals. They are a bit feral so not too far off.

@iklboo

Narrate my cooking like I'm on tv sometimes Sing & turn my office chair round on myself like The Voice

I literally do this all the bloody time! Glad I'm not the only one that narrates cooking like they are on a cookery show...usually with an American accent, not entirely sure why! Fab thread OP!

Everyone doing sports commentary, have you seen Andrew Cotter commentating on his dogs? He was bored in lockdown and started doing YouTube videos of them. Look up 'Andrew Cotter Game of Bones'; it'll make you

I suffer from maladaptive daydreaming,I made a thread on it a while back.
Basically prance about listening to music whilst imagining myself in various scenarios.

I try and liken people i see to a celebrity, I've seen some very famous people on my dog walks

I’m so glad I’m not the only who talks to themselves as if being interviewed! I’m often chatting away to myself as if there’s a camera on me wanting to know every detail of my (sometimes fictional) life. I’ll do it in the car, while I’m cooking or getting ready - basically any time I’m on my own. I’ve never dared admit to anyone that I do it but I don’t feel quite so alone now.

One other thing I do is look at people’s faces and decide what animal they look like. It’s got me through many a boring tv show that DH has been watching.

'Thank goodness I'm not the only one!! Honestly, my arguments are absolutely amazing, the other side have no chance '

I do the same, and narrating my cooking like I'm on Saturday Kitchen or whatever

Also, when I'm in the shower, or cleaning my face at the sink, I pretend I'm on an episode of 'In The Bathroom with Sali Hughes' and tell her all the fascinating ins and outs of my skincare routine

I dance a lot and sing made up songs about what I’m doing like I’m in a musical. My children pretend that they dislike it and find it embarrassing but I know they like it really.

I also go through arguments I’ve had or a time when somebody has been rude to me and I’ve not stood up for myself. I say my comebacks out loud. I don’t set out to do it but it seems to calm me down when something has wound me up.

@vanillandhoney

I talk to myself ALL the time. At home, in the car, out on dog walks. I know other people do it, but I do wonder if it's to the same extent

I wonder too, it’s something I do anytime I’m alone

I lecture myself about my poor life choices

And I answer back 🙄🙄

People who talk to yourselves, do you do it out loud or in your head? I would say 80% of mine is in my head

I also argue with people on the telly and radio

I talk to myself a lot and sing songs.
The other day I realised that I could hear a song in the background of my mind and have a conversation

Scratch my bum/pits, weigh my boobs with my hands. (They are heavier when I am due on) inspect face for spots/random hairs. Also I stripper dance to Kisstory while I am cooking.

Great thread OP!

My partner and I both love guessing how old people are.

I have saucy affairs in my head with hot bar staff/ shop assistants / people on the train etc all the time

I have planned down to the fine details exactly what I would do if I won the lottery.

OMG when I saw the title I was going to say the same thing as you OP! Except I do it when I'm pottering about the house or in the bath. I also respond in an American accent for some reason (yes, I answer myself out loud). I told my sister about this recently assuming we all do it (I don't know why I thought that) and she looked at me as if I should be shipped off to Broadmoor!

I talk to myself a lot, as an oldie and live alone. Yesterday I was in the process of re-organising my front garden, It was a quiet sunny afternoon. I said to a large old shrub, I am sorry, but I am going to chop you down next week,as you are past your best now. Then a neighbour walked by with her dog, and she heard me talking to the shrub, so she said, oh well , Prince Charles talks to his plants, and he has a nice garden. ha ha,

Tell objects/items to fuck off regularly.

I narrate what I'm doing in different accents, I love it! No one knows apart from my three year old, she says mummy why are you talking Spanish?

Use loads of nonsense language in our family that no one else would ever get
