I've developed this weird thing where I do Italian hand gestures in reaction to things I see online
im on my phone in between sets and people think I'm weird
Before when I was 16 or 17 or something I was talking to myself when I was taking out the trash for the weekend and my sister overheard me through her rooms windows and asked who I was talking to
it's healthy. the problem is when you start imagining yourself saving someone from a fire, being on the Joe Rogan podcast or listening to songs and imagine yourself as the singer, guitarist or drummer. that's when you are in trouble.
Talking to yourself is considered by psychiatrists to be a high IQ trait, thinking out loud is healthy for you, it externalizes your inner world and balances you
I bet you have a tiny dick and balls too
and you're ugly and deformed
you should be put out of your misery, you mutant
a just society wouldn't allow your presence to be inflicted on others each and every day
Sometimes I say "sneed" out loud in a really squeaky voice when I'm home alone. I try to make it sound as silly as possible.
The other day I started saying "cheese douglas". I have no idea what it means, but it sounded cool. >check out my cheese douglas >that's a nice cheese douglas you've got there
I say "okaaaay let's go" to myself in my head every single time I finish a task and collect my thoughts about what to do next
sometimes I say it out loud, I've been doing it every day for years
I talk to myself because I'm the only person whose opinion I value.
I've begun to read again and it's like a breath of fresh air, finally getting some dialogue inputs via literature that aren't completely inane wastes of time like talking to people is.
In a world where intelligent people intentionally say the most retarded shit they can think of for machivellian manipulative purposes and the stupid cannot tell the difference or say anything intelligent of their own accord, the only intellectually stimulating discourse I can have is with books. For some reason, titans of the intellectual landscape are nakedly honest in their writings, while they practice deception and the pretending of stupidity in daily life.
>intentionally say the most retarded shit they can think of >pretending of stupidity in daily life
I do this because it's simply easier. People in my country tend to be suHispanicious of other people and a lot of interactions are just way easier if they perceive you as too naive or stupid to cause trouble.
I talk to myself in the sense that I daydream a lot and during that I sometimes go through long periods of imaginary dialogues
I want to stop it because it's a waste of time, but it's also the only creative and problem-solving cognitive device that I have, I'm afraid that if I lose the habit I will stop generating new ideas completely
That was me going back to college after two years of being a shut-in neet. People were polite and nice at first but eventually everyone learned to talk over me because I basically had a speech impediment at that point
I still speak like a complete idiot in my mother tongue because I've been communicating almost exclusively in written English for the last 15 years but it's getting better.
Haven't really had any proper social contact in about 5 years, only my parents and 3 months when my brother came to stay, and the odd friend of my parents once in a blue moon. Talk to myself all the time when i'm alone to try and ward this off, it's fucking scary.
I’ve talked to myself for a long time. I will literally explain things to myself as if I was talking to a classroom. Like walk around my house or while driving just explaining how best to track your macros or ideal splits. It’s like I’m practicing for a presentation I’ll never give.
It has helped me become a pretty good public speaker though and luckily I have a part time job as instructor. So I guess it’s fine. I still think I’m crazy though.
>work construction with heavy machinery >excavators are loud so always sing old pop and rock songs super loud to myself assuming that nobody can hear me >one day before work talking about music with the boomers >"oh yeah anon we always hear you singing when youre working" >mfw
the government is stalking me right now but before that i used to talk to myself.
I still exclaim and mumble out loud, i dont have full on discourses with myself anymore tho.
what you guys talking about?
meditation
i never stopped
I talk to myself for minimum 2 hours a day pacing around my room. I’ve done this since I was 12. It’s over
>It’s over
nuh uh. normies brains don't even let them do this. If you can let your mind think for itself you're clear.
I talk to myself and laugh at the gym so people won't come up to me.

watch it chrissy
Before when I was 16 or 17 or something I was talking to myself when I was taking out the trash for the weekend and my sister overheard me through her rooms windows and asked who I was talking to
Is your sister multiple
it's healthy. the problem is when you start imagining yourself saving someone from a fire, being on the Joe Rogan podcast or listening to songs and imagine yourself as the singer, guitarist or drummer. that's when you are in trouble.
Why?
>imagining you are the main character
no one will remember you
I would do this for literal hours a day at one point. Now not so much
Same, I think its pretty harmless, just a bit spergy. In school I used to imagine myself saving the class from a mass shooter kek.
Oh I used to imagine myself as the school shooter
out loud is healthy?
This is bizarre, I i've never been on this site, but I was just staying up late thinking how I need to stop maladaptive daydreaming and ended up here
Don't forget, you're here forever
Welcome newfren
is right, your here forever now
>always imagine myself as a villain
>listening to songs and imagine yourself as the singer, guitarist or drummer
Haha yeah w-who even does that? T-that's so silly haha.
I do that and I'm perfectly fine
First time I've ever heard that playing air guitars/drums and singing along to a song is bad for you kek. Never change SwoleShack

Talking to yourself and singing while cleaning is kino.

You might call it a mantra

OKAAAY, LET'S GO. BABY BABY! UP TO THE SKY UP ABOVE!
I have thought about cheese douglas a lot the last few hours
will start incorporating "cheese douglas" into my daily life from now on. thanks, anon!
>randomly browse a thread on SwoleShack
>will have "Cheese Douglas" stuck in my head potentially forever
A contemporary analysis of cheese douglas
That's what you get for stopping
Cheese Douglas Anon, what's wrong with you? That's some cheesey fucking Douglas you got going on
God damn it. Now I’m going to be saying cheese douglas to myself in a myriad of weird voices as I drive to work tomorrow. Fuck you anon.
my last living words will be Cheese Douglas. Thank you.
I imagine that a Cheese Douglas is a style of hat named after a 1930's cartoon character.
>he was wearing a cheese douglas and smoking a corncob pipe
Your interpretations may vary.
I talk to myself because I'm the only person whose opinion I value.

i can't even tell if posts like this are satire.
bravo, nagger. you gave me a siolid kek with that autism

>I just pretend being retarded
No I just pretend not to know certain things, ask questions I already know the answer to, and pretend I forgot things I didn't.
Talking to yourself is normal in isolation. It’s actually more concerning if you didn’t.
>tfw I call my cat the n word out loud at least 20 times a day

Stopping generating new ideas isnt so bad
You kind of just respond creatively to the moment rather than coming up with something to use later
I once went so long without talking I couldn't physically get out any words when I tried speaking to someone.
That was me going back to college after two years of being a shut-in neet. People were polite and nice at first but eventually everyone learned to talk over me because I basically had a speech impediment at that point
I still speak like a complete idiot in my mother tongue because I've been communicating almost exclusively in written English for the last 15 years but it's getting better.
bro I developed a fucking stutter in my own language after moving to an english speaking country and I'm always searching for words
I’ve had this with extreme depression as a teen. Physically couldn’t speak.
i too fumble over my words

we are all permutations of the same set lel
