Do you talk to yourself?

[theeverydaydancer]

I was going to namechange but in the end I couldn't be bothered.

I have always had a habit of sort of whispering/muttering to myself. I've done this since I was a child. Sometimes it might be about something mundane like what I need to buy from the shops etc but it can also be me working stuff out or sort of "practising" what I would say to someone else or talking about something that I find interesting. I remember my parents doing this (but they are both a bit nuts so that doesn't reassure me...).

Am I strange or is this normal? Posted in relationships because I've always had a lot of support here, I know its probably not technically in the right place so apologies.

The Sparkly....that's entirely brilliant. I am going to do that.

Somehow, I just came 'home' :)

I did this as a coping mechanism when in DV relationship, then fighting agoraphobia, now just difficult conversations.

Hardly do it al all now.

Still have a rant in the car when needed though.

Thank you!

Quite a bit.
Go over things . Out loud.
Practice what I sent to say.
In the car I pretend I've got a mobile phone/ part ganging from the sun viser, and that I'm actually on the phone. So that any other parked cars don't think I'm a nutter.

Sometimes I forget that the ds's are st home and ds2 asks me who I am taking to.

Complete nutter. Obviously!!

Sparkly, that is GENIUS! It's what I've needed all along Well, I actually need a small army of imaginary experts. Comin' right up ... !
