Talking to Yourself: Not Just for the Insane Anymore!

Not only do I talk to myself, I have starting answering myself later in the day...wow, who knew brillance looked so crazy!!

I have always talked to myself and now I'm a master at hiding it from others (especially hubby). I pretend that I'm singing or something--crazy. I'm glad to know I'm brilliant and that I don't have to hide anymore!!! I'm free! Happy Mother's Day, Brilliant Ones!

I talk to myself all the time. Yes I am a genius! :P

I think it's perfectly healthy. I too find that I play both sides to see how I would feel in the other person's shoes. I do this a LOT in the car when I am driving. I just blow it off as if I am having a phone conversation. Thank goodness for the hidden headset of my phone that doesn't exist.

:)

Happy Mom's Day to all!!!!

Technology helps... just stick a handfree on your ear and everyone will think that you are talking.. to someone else that is. LOL.

I talk to myself and my computer and my pots.. You are not alone and it does help to organize my to dos for the day/week.

Thanks for sharing the story.

euhhh I never talk to myself... Seems like I'm the only one...

Hi A.,

Yeah, count me in with this group, too. I especially talk to myself when I'm emotional about the subject.

I have learned one thing, though....be careful what you say to yourself. If you catch yourself saying negative things about yourself or loved ones, change it to say the positive. That gives you hope and gives them freedom. For example: When my creative child (I'm more linear) does something I don't understand, I sometimes say to myself "That feels so stupid to me!" Then I correct myself and say, "I know the girl is brilliant, she just sees things differently than I."

I've learned that saying negative things gets me down and saying positive things gets me up. And I make it a point to say positive things I should believe but don't yet such as "I am beautiful" and "I can do this" even when I feel the opposite.

I talk to myself a lot otherwise I get lost on things that need to get done. It drives my husband nuts cause he is thinking I am talking to him when I am not. My kids always ask "Mommy who are you talking to?" and I tell them myself. "Mommy why are you talking to yourself?" It helps me think.
I can now finally say I am not alone on this!

oooh I hope it really is a sign of intellegence! I would be brilliant too!

I thought I was the only one - (noncrazy one anyways)! It does help ya sort things out. Saying stuff that you wish you could say to someone that has done you wrong is a great way to help let it go! It can get embarrassing though when other catch you. But we all know they too probably do the same!

WOW! I AM NOT JUST AN "EVIL CONSERVATIVE," BUT AN EVIL GENIUS, TOO!!!???? YES! I knew it!!!

Wow, I'm going to join YOUR club. I always talk to myself... in the car, when I'm irritated with someone and want to work out my thoughts on how I'm going to stay RATIONAL and still get my point across.... Yeah, i just clearly was writing it off that I was just inline to be committed..but now I feel normal! Ha! ;)

I talk in my sleep when I have lots on my mind. Am I smart, too? LOL! :) :)

Add me to the list of ladies that has full-fledged conversations with myself. Sometimes I even take on the role of the "other person" speculating what their rhetorical response would be! LOL! It helps me sort out my thoughts, too...

I'm so glad I am as smart as I thought I was! Ha! :o)

Happy Mother's Day!

You go girl !!! I haven't laughed so hard in a while. Thank You !! I talk to myself everyday, at least then I know someone IS listening and paying attention. I wonder if there is a department for people like "Us" at Mensa, let me know if you hear of it and I'll be there with you to apply. N.
