Same. I'm starting to think that talking to ourselves (while alone) is more common than society would have us believe. It's hard to know what other people do when they're alone, tho
Yeah, the common phrase that "talking to yourself is the first sign of madness" has been drummed into many of us… of course if you're experiencing auditory halucinations and replying to them, that's bad. But it's actually perfectly fine to talk to yourself out loud.
I regularly talk to myself when I drive to and from work. Obviously, I drive in alone.
It’s not a self conversation, it’s more like verbalizing my own thought processes. It helps me work through problems and make decisions.
