I don’t know if it’s normal but I do it all the time when I’m alone – the voices are always asking questions
I used to talk to myself all the time before the onset of my sz. I had the idea that I could make my thoughts more intelligent by roping in my verbal centers…
Apparently it is a sign of good health to speak to oneself mentally. I can hardly think though. My mind is mostly blank.
I always thought it was something to never do because it looked “crazy”. I used to pretend to be on the phone if I wanted to laugh or talk to myself in public, now I have sz I never do this. My best friend always thought it was good to talk to yourself and laugh in public. I guess she was kind of right.
interesting. i talk to myself so i can think clearly because i hear voices almost always.
i even dare to do it at work or the supermarket.
nobody says anything to me about it so that’s good.

I have non-vivid hallucinations where I talk to people inside my head. I imagine that I’m in a different time and place and am talking to the people there. Sort of a non typical hallucination but it’s fairly constant and a bit annoying. I think the driving force behind it is a desire for attention and to be listened to by other people, and also maybe a bit of loneliness.
I was talking loudly to myself when nobody was in the room. If somebody was there then I would remain quiet or whisper with myself. It stopped in 2017. Now I have negative self talk with myself, every now and then.
