Muttering

I’m posting here for traffic and wondered if anyone can relate as I’m worried something strange is happening to me or whether this is reasonably normal.

when I am alone or not engaging with anyone I am seemingly detached from reality - it’s like day dreaming but up a notch. I imagine I am me but in a different set of circumstances living a completely different life with different people.

According to the people I live with I am often muttering to myself if I think I am alone.

what prompted me to write this is my DH caught me on the ring doorbell camera returning home earlier muttering as I was walking up the driveway- it was like I thought I was talking to someone as I was looking to the side of me as if someone else was there.

He thought this was hilarious and I also laughed when I saw the footage. However, I am a bit freaked out as I am completely unaware of doing this and have no recollection of the muttering and detachment I feel.

I am just a typical middle aged woman with a family and job. I have a stable, happy home life with no trauma. I don’t take drugs, medication or drink alcohol. But I’m freaked out. I know this has been happening for a long time now and it seems to be getting worse.

If you're not aware of doing it I'm afraid I think you should speak to your doctor. It sounds scary for you, I'm sorry. Hopefully it will be a simple fix x

I’m autistic and I often talk to my self sometimes in a normal voice and overtime’s it’s more of a mutter. Am I aware? I don’t deliberately do it but sometimes I will notice I’m doing it. So there may be times I do it without realising. I have done it for as long as I can remember. It’s never worried me.

Are you on medication? That tardiff seems to be problem with that.

I talk to myself all the time, and don’t see anything wrong with it.
