You always understand what you are trying to tell yourself so talking to yourself is often necessary! I lve talking to myself! Haha, but that does not mean it's health and normal, just nothing to worry about. My English teacher told us that people who are audatory learners talk to themselves to retain information.

I talk to myself all the time- It's a good way of organizing your thoughts, especially if you have a short attention span, like me :). Most people talk to themselves- it's completely normal.

Dude. Don't even start. I'll be in, like, a book store and start singing under my breath. But then I'll get into and make a microphone with my fist and start singing. Yes, in public. I always talk to myself in department stores. We are our best friends. I don't know if it's healthy and I don't if it's normal, but everybody does it.

Perfectly normal. Believe me, if talking to your self was a sign of mental illness, we'd all be in a madhouse. I talk to myself

if talking to yourself was a mental illness this world would be downhill. sometimes it's better to tlak to yourself because you get your inner thoughts out on surface.

I talk to myself all the time if it make you feel better

Hi, this is a tricky one, because it is quite normal but other people might look at it as weird. We all say little things to ourselves sometimes. Examples:

"Why did I do that"
"God she/he looks nice"
"Im bloody fed up with this"

and so on. Its got nothing to do with Mental or any other illness. However if you constantly keep talking and answering yourself then there could be a problem. Its not so much to do with health, but maybe its to do with your feelings, or you might feel lonely sometimes. It is quite normal, but of course not in public like a bus shelter or classroom. Anywhere away from people is O.K. Hope I helped. Daniel.

I can tell you dont have a mental illness cause if you did chances are you wouldnt think you would...you get me? But in my opinion it is a bad habit so try and cut down on that =P.Even if you did answer your self back and had a conversation or 2 with your self when you are bored it could be normal, but if it really bothers you go see a shrink. I think your ok though.

Completely normal. As long as you don't answer yourself back it's good. =P Like we say here,

"Talking to yourself is normal unless you start answering yourself back, then that's when I'm gonna get worried about you!"
