H speaks to himself in bathroom?

[ju1ie]

AIBU to worry that my H talks to himself in the bathroom in the morning before work?!

He usually just mutters a few words, but today he sounded like he had a convo and started laughing.

Only happens in the morning. He has a very tough job dealing with global CEO's etc. So is it stress or something else?

Quite normal. I find the shower is the best place - background noise of water blocks out distracting influences, creating an 'external internal space', so that 'inner voice' conversations can be vocalised.

As others have said, handy for rehearsing conversations, presentations, interview answers etc.

I don't always speak out loud but do have some of my best thoughts - through rehearsing / imagining conversations - in the shower.

I sometimes practice something I'm going to say in front of a mirror. Perhaps he's doing that?

I talk to myself all the time.
Sometimes I have arguments with DH without him even being there!!

I have my best ideas in the shower. Which I don't generally share, but will occasionally, unintentionally, in front of colleagues I know very well, say "in the shower this morning, I thought of....." I used to get funny looks. Now they just roll their eyes.

I do it when I'm walking the dog. I look like a muttering mad-woman. I think it repels all but the kindest most understanding people so I have lovely dog walker friends.

I do this

I do this if I have a meeting/interview etc . I sort of go through how the conversation may go.

I tend to do it in the car, accidentally pocket dialled dp last night and he asked who I gave a lift home to 😂

Another one who talks to herself. And very glad I'm not alone, reading this! although I actually am alone, when talking to myself

He might be on the phone...

Or just talking to himself. A lot of people do, including myself. I tend to do it in the car

I do it too. And keep bathroom does seem to bring it on more. I'm often embarrassed coming out of a toilet cubicle at work to find someone else in the room and not sure how loudly I've been talking!

I don't talk to myself, but I do offload to the dog when I come home from work.

She's a very attentive audience, and doesn't answer back.

Loads of people talk to themselves. It's fine.

Arguing with yourself is more of a problem!

Probably practicing a work presentation

I talk to myself in the bathroom, especially if it’s going to be a stressful day. I like to talk any scenarios out before I am involved in them

hehe smeaton :)

I talk to myself in the bathroom too specially when stressed or anxious about something coming up. Husband tends to call in "did you say something?" which is a bit embarassing

I thought I was the only one who does this!

I do it all the time, especially if I'm worried about something and trying to prep an answer to a conversation I might be having later that day.

Maybe ask him, rather than us?

Once when out driving with DH ( then a fairly new BF) I asked what a particular building was. he replied 'it's XXX, didn't I tell you last time?'.

I pointed out that I hadn't been that way before, and he said 'oh I must have had this conversation with you in my head'.

I talk to myself in tescos.

I have very detailed convos in my head, it wouldnt shock me to hear someone doing it aloud.

I talk to myself, reply to myself & laugh too - all out loud sometimes. I did wonder yesterday if DDog thought I was mad for chuckling away to myself but it seems she's used to it now. I probably do it outside walking her too.

I recite lines from Hamlet and Henry V in the mirror before I get in the shower sometimes. I pretend I'm on stage at the Globe. DH knows I do it though I don't think he thinks it's normal.

I talk to myself constantly either out loud or in my head.

I talk to myself, sometimes to get a great opinion other times to rehearse what I have to say

I do this alot. I find I talk to myself on the school run though, that's not so great
