I always talk to myself, but I know it's me and not someone else!. Usually I say 'I' or 'me', but sometimes I say my name!. But, more often than not, I'm talking to inanimate objects!. People who know me are used to this, and don't think anything of it!. I do have a co-worker who likes to jokingly ask if I'm 'kvetching'!.

My grandmother always says "Talking to yourself is a sign of genius!." Answering yourself and holding a conversation with yourself, on the other hand, is a sign of insanity!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hahaa! Good question!

Yeah I talk to myself ALOT - mostly in my head though!. But usually when something is more profound I'll talk through my mouth and say things like!.!.!.
'Oh for God's sake Sarah, do some bl**dy housework'!.!.!.

But I dont have conversations with myself - now that would be a sign of madness!. LolWww@QuestionHome@Com
