You don’t talk to yourself?
Of course I do, sometimes I need expert advice!
I have a remote work job. Sometimes,I don’t talk to another human for many days. It doesn’t bother me too much:
I talk to my dogs. Honestly, my dogs have probably kept me alive and well as much as I keep them alive and well.
Aside from work, most of the talking I do at home is joking around with my cat. He has no idea what the fuck is going on but I crack myself up and he meows his little heart out like he’s watching John Mulaney
That would never be me. I’m constantly talking to myself. People think I’m crazy, but I think I’m just bursting with ideas!
Yeah I talk to myself and my cat way too much, I actually talk more when I’m alone than I do when someone else is around.
I get lots of questioning looks in the grocery stores cause I didn’t make a list and have to tell myself, audible, that I didn’t need the cookies.
It would be me, except I swear a lot under my breath when I run into problems with software or things. In two languages simultaneously, even.
English and C++
English and a language that’s highly inflective and flexible. So I can’t decide if it’s worse than C++, but that still seems unlikely.
The upside is that a handful of swearword roots produce a vast array of actual meanings. And, we have compound swearings too! Stuff like ‘ballscockwhore cuntfuck’ is entirely possible, with shades of meaning even.
I had to give up talking via swearing at a previous job, because I realized I had trouble coming up with regular words for the things I meant.
Dude you’re not alone, talk to myself all the time. When I am caught I just tell people I was needing an expert opinion. Its gets a good laugh and people don’t think I’m crazy. Agatha Christina would play out the dialog in her novels to herself outloud. Most people with an active imagination does this.
Now @BetaBlake is silent because of your “you are not alone”
Nah, I talk the most when I am alone.
Do people really not talk to themselfs? They should! It’s not “crazy” if you know there isn’t another person there. But it’s ok to think out loud. It’s even good because sometimes you can hear how you sound and change. I like it and this is a type of self therapy
Yup, I’ve always externalized my thoughts when alone. Got teased for it occasionally when I was caught, but always seemed weird to me that people don’t. One of the many reasons I’m probably on the spectrum, but it’s not causing any harm.
What do you guys talk about?
mostly about how much I hate myself and I’m worthless, but in a casual, non mean way.
You should cut your face off and eat it.
Not many people have done that so you’d no longer be worthless, and you’d be a hideous monstrosity and hideous monstrosities have shock value so you’d have value, too.
Great advice
Ah, can’t wait to imagine some AI will promote your advice to someone! XD
Cinematography and geopolitical effects of mountainous terrain rainfall on world building stories. Also making ways of tricking people into reading the book about potatoes.
I’m open to being tricked into reading about potatoes…
I have gone days without talking to other people but I don’t think I’ve ever gone a waking hour without talking.
No I talk to myself
Apparently, you don’t own a cat.
4, because I work partly remote so there have been occasions where I have no reason to leave the house or see another person for four days. I’m introverted so it’s kind of nice, but it’s probably not healthy
Edit: and my dog is not mine: I share custody with my ex (it’s actually her dog) so that’s only half a week
Custody with a dog T-T AND YOU WERNET EVEB MARRIED.
You lucky BS bastards… And I have to answer the same question to my kid every 5 seconds.
Why?
Because I said so
Why?
shakes vigorously
DADDY! Why?
Back when I was single, that happened often during my vacations
I cannot relate. I live with my GF but even if she leaves for the night I’ll start talking to my self somehow.
Step one, get a girlfriend
That’s too many steps, I’ll just stick to talking with the voices in my head
*fucking
if she leaves for the night
How sure are you that you’re her only boyfriend?
Glad I’m not that weirdo. I’ll still talk to my cat.
Do you not cat?
This is why I stopped by. Cat on my friend. PssssPssss
Lived alone during COVID.
Went months
