I talk to myself but its weird.
I am often alone in the house I tend to talk to myself. I usually have conversations on many different topics, it just depends on the day. I have a weird habit whenever I do this, I repeat what I say. I will, for example, say "I'm good" but I will repeat it 3 to 5 times and it always said in the same tone and way and I just find it really weird. I won't even realise I'm doing it, I'll just walk around repeating the same thing until I continue with the conversation. Anyone know what this is all about?

Talking to one self occasionally is not weird. It is normal. Your thoughts in your head are simply being verbalized to no one else, just yourself. I have talked to myself since I was a little kid and I am now a grandma. However I don't have long conversations on many topics. It's more of talking to myself to figure out a problem or issue. So if I were rearranging furniture by myself, I might say, "How about if we put this there. Oh dear, that doesn't work. I need to find the measuring tape to know if it will fit before I move a piece. Now where is that measuring tape." And that would be the end of it until I am completely done where I might comment on it to myself. "There, this is more practical and has a more homey feel to it."
What I am more concerned about is your repeating of behaviors and knowing it's 3 to 5 times each time you do it. This could be the beginning of a disorder called OCD. Heres a description of it:
OCD is a common, chronic disorder in which a person has uncontrollable, reoccurring thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors (compulsions) that he or she feels the urge to repeat over and over in response to the obsession.
Most disorders and mental illnesses do start when a person is in their teens. I learned that when it happened to my brother. SO if you are in that age bracket and it hasn't happened before, it could just be starting. or If you have done this for quite some time, either way it would be best to get tested for the disorder so if you have it a doctor and teach you how to handle it and how to live with it. See your family Doctor for a referral to a psychologist.
