They say that talking to yourself is a sign of loneliness.
I don't know about you, but i do talk to myself some times. Especially in front of a mirror i tend to do all kinds of impressions and imitations just to entertain myself.
Do you talk to yourself?
More importantly, do you consider yourself lonely?
I see you..

Talking to yourself

I actually never do because I like silence.
I like silence too, but there can also be too much of it.
Never... I have high oral inertia
Are you on facebook?
Nope.
A lot of people ask me though.. maybe i should make one..
On the other hand.. nah, don't feel like making one.
I give long philosophical observations to inanimate objects walking around alone at 3 am. Or talk as if to someone saying things i would to them even if theyre not there. Although i dont consider this loneliness i am lonely. Very. But im quite poetic, so thats probably why i like acting strangely.
That's interesting.
You know what is weird to hear? Try recording those observations and listen to them the next morning.
And yeah, i'm a tiiiiny bit poetic too. A really tiny bit.
Hope you'll find a cure for the loneliness though. Loneliness sucks.
I do consider myself lonely. I'm afraid to approach people. Plus, I have no self confidence, so its even harder to speak to other people.
That sucks. But it's not something you can't overcome.
I find myself doing that somewhat often. Making up dialogue, thinking alout to myself, imagining conversations between people that don't even exist. I guess I'd consider myself sort of lonely, but then again I'm the kind of person that has felt alone in a crowded room.
You're the kind of person who has felt alone in a crowded room? I don't think that's a 'type' of person. It's not abnormal to feel alone when you're not literally by yourself.
Loneliness goes way beyond just not seeing a lot of people.
For as long as I can remember, I've always thought out loud and spoken as if there was someone there, despite being completely alone. I dunno why, there's just something more satisfying about hearing my thoughts. Or maybe it's because I've always been so insecure I felt that I wasn't comfortable with sharing my thoughts with anyone other than myself because I knew I was the only one that wouldn't judge me. Maybe it's because I'm often alone and need to talk to SOMEONE so I just talk to the only other person around, which would be myself. It's often quite therapeutic too, considering you can share your innermost secrets with someone while at the same time NOT sharing your innermost secrets with anyone.
Then again, maybe I'm just completely batshit insane, which is very likely :)
Ha, the whole world is completely batshit insane, not just you ;p
But you knew the only person who wouldn't judge you was you. That's true, but.. you'll never know if other people will judge you if you never try it out. And sharing your thoughts with someone other than yourself is way more therapeutic, because you actually get a response and that response can make you view things differently. But that's my opinion, i am no expert and if just sharing your thoughts with no one else than yourself works for you who am i to say that you're doing it wrong? :p
I talk to myself quite a lot. It runs in the family x) I don't think it's out of loneliness but of boredom.
Haha, you have an interesting family then :p
Well, I talk to myself quite often. Sometime I debate with myself, even. I believe that it helps to make better decisions. If I can find enough arguments against an action by myself, then I should really rethink my plans. I think that it is pretty normally, and like I said, it is actually pretty useful.
I wouldn't consider myself lonely.
It's good that you're not lonely :)
However, i don't know if it's good to debate with yourself. That's debatable.
I mean, it really depends on what the debate is about, but you don't want to rationalize every single thing you do.
The voices in my head are very real. It is mine own. Personifying your thoughts is a good way to make decisions. That is what I do. It's the two sides of my mind speaking back and forth.
Two sides of your mind? That sounds.. creepy.
I surround myself in loud, terrible music all the time, thus drowning any thoughts like these out. It seems to be working pretty well. :P
That must be healthy.
I'm not a schizophrenic if you thought that was what I was implying.
It sounded like it.
But yeah, good to know you're not schizophrenic :p
The voice inside my chest resembles a deafening verbal beatdown. Screaming, emphasizing my every mistake, displaying my every failure. Filling me with the will to surpass others.
That doesn't sound healthy.
I talk to myself when I'm concentrating on something or when I'm getting dressed up. I'll say. " Girl you look good!" or " I know I'm fine!" Ya know, just for fun.
I dont consider my self lonely at all.
That's good for your self esteem :)
I finger mirrors.
Good for you
It has been quite some time since I commented the last time. I am quite surprised that this is still the most recent newspost. However, I talk to more users and got to know them better, since I started to interview some of them.
Have a nice day :3
I guess i just have less time to come up with new newsposts :p
And it's great you start to talk to more users :)
You have a nice day too! :D
PIED3
I sometimes talk to myself, when i'm walking around or sometimes if something interesting happens i imagine talking to a friend about it, or if i'm doing something that could land me in trouble, i mutter to my self how i think the conversation will go if i get caught to try and think of excuses. I wouldn't say i was that lonely, just alone.
FairSquare
Yeah, i recognize that. Making up dialogue in your head.
Also, for some reason i really like that last sentence. 'I wouldn't say i was that lonely, just alone'. Has something.. poetic. Don't know why.
