    Okay, sometimes I talk to myself. Strange things happen when you live in th emiddle of nowhere! Hell, my mom talks to her horse and I've seen her friends talk to their horses/dogs. There was a survey in a Your Horse magazine and over half of British horse owners would break up with their partner and keep their horse if their partner told them to get rid of it. You know what I think? Good for them!

    I usually only talk to myself with full conversations when I'm playing with my Lego or Bionicles. Although sometimes I put on a silly voice and say such things as "No, don't put me back in the box! Anything but the box!" when putting my video game capture card back into its box. It reminded me of something I'd read about the kidnapping of Colleen Stan. I forgot my boyfriend was around. I don't realise I'm doing it until it's pointed out to me.

    There's usually an eerie silence when I play video games... all you're likely to hear is my working on the controller. I used to bully myself by saying negative things when I failed, but Demon's Souls marked my transition into adulthood.

    When I'm having serious trouble with a computer, you might hear such gems as "Damn it! Why won't you workity work WORK! RARGH! Don't make me hit you!" which I consider to be an improvement from actually hitting/throwing inanimate objects.

    Yeah I talk to myself sometimes. When I study patient counseling for different medications, I make myself the interviewer and interviewee. It's the only way for me to know the ins and outs for counseling guidelines. It's weird but it works for me.

    All of my friends are usually busy with work, studying, or both, and so I have no one to study with but myself ._.

    Yes, but only when I'm alone. For me it's just verbally thinking, not two side conversations XD

    I have conversations with myself often in my head. It's a good way to work out what I'm feeling what I'm going through.
    Sometimes I inadvertently voice my thoughts, especially when I'm alone but also when I'm with company.

    I normally just speak inside of my head all of the time but sometimes I talk to myself. When I talk in my head sometimes I mouth the words.

    I talk to myself when I am really stressed or upset.
    When I have a big problem to solve.
    When trying to motivate myself.
    I sing to myself also when I get lonely or sad.

    Most of the time. I do it to solve a lot of my problems or get out any kind of problem that doesn't need solving so that I don't have to seek help.

    I have full on arguments with myself. Most of the time, it's on my way home. It's often the only time allow myself to get angry and emote anything real and honest. I wonder what the people in the cars beside me think when they see me. lol

    Yes, but probably not in the context you're wanting.

    Usually, it's to debate myself. To refine how I speak, how it sounds, that sort of thing. I don't ever recall, seriously, arguing with myself aloud.

    I do, however, play Chess with/against myself. I know, it's odd, but I learn new things each time I do. That count? Lol.

    All the time, but in my head. Normally it is positive me and negative me fighting over who should take control.

    No, not in the sense of actually talking to myself. Like I said some of what I wrote here quietly to myself, but that's not really talking to myself (or is it >.>). When I actually try talking to myself it feels really weird, it doesn't come naturally to me. I don't even sing to myself.

    I do make little sounds sometimes, like when throwing away stuff, putting stuff down etc. That's a newer habit, that I seem to of developed.

    Pretty often. Usually if I'm walking in the streets alone, especially in unfamiliar places. "So now you have to go... left. Unless you're lost. Okay, you're completely lost. Now what do I do?"
    It helps that I do it in English, so people around here can't understand. Bet I still look crazy, though.

    Yes, I love making weird voices and reciting scenes or coming up with scenes as I go. It's a perfect way to work on my English pronunciation and it actually helped me with my English grade during high school. If I wasn't such a weirdo I don't think I'd have gotten the grade I got. I wouldn't call it talking to myself though, I just "act".
