Stop talking to myself
I talk to myself. 1 month ago

I talk to myself a lot. Not out loud, but my lips move. I’ve been doing this for almost four years. And I always denied it. But I just caught myself doing it again, while looking in the mirror. I talk to imaginary people or just to myself. I imagine situations. Or I just start a conversation with myself. Sometimes I don’t even know I’m doing it, for example: at school, and it gets me into the weirdest situations. I’m not crazy, that’s for sure. I want to stop this, but at the same time I don’t. It helps me figure stuff out in my head (I’m really stressed sometimes, and it helps me to calm down) and sometimes it makes me feel less alone. Okay, it does sound a little crazy like that. But yeah. I hope I can work this out, or something.

on the contrary

of what other people might say, I think talking to yourself like that is not per se a bad thing. I talk to myself too sometimes and I have found that it helps me better understand and organise my thoughts and feelings. When I flip out I make myself calm this way. I also give myself feedback on situations, by asking myself questions like, what happened, what did you do, was that the right thing, should you have done something else, who is to blame, does it matter if someone is to blame, what can you do to fix this, etc

I really don’t think it’s harmful, it’s just the way some people’s brain work. as long as you don’t actually hear a voice in your head that is obviously not your own, then you’re fine ;)

Made an account just for this

My god, 10 minutes ago I went to google and searched “talking to myself” and found this entry. I know EXACTLY what you mean and I feel the same way about it. It’s as if you don’t mind it so much but it makes you a little scared, for yourself, at the same time.

well, I think I figured it all out, sort of. There is much more to the story than what you think. Much more than I am even comfortable discussing on here.

let me guess,
you have the highest of standards and you crushed school, at least academically.

one piece of advice,
listen to yourself, and trust it.
