Mikami, Nice L (Lawlet) Avatar. I talk to my self all the time. It helps me a lot. That is until I find a contradiction in my conversations. Then I argue. Then a third voice has to settle it.

I talk to myself all the time. I don't find it odd.

Arguing with yourself is so poetic; it's like a spiritual battle made manifest.

Lol, I'm nutty enough to find beautiful truth in this.

Nothing like having a debate in your mind of the big questions of life/spirituality/what it all means. Sometimes the exchange can be creatively compelling.

As long as you realize although different splits of character/opinion/stance are present and conversing, they're all you having the "conversation".

I spent many years as a mechanical designer and engineer and I talked to myself all the time. In fact, I would go so far as to have conversations with myself because it was an effective way to trouble shoot a design. The adage of "making all the mistakes on paper" is important because at worse all you have to do is get another sheet of paper, once you make the design into steel, if it doesn't work, it's a boat anchor.

Yeah, a lot of jokes about it over the years, but my stuff worked and not everyone else could claim that.

Now mind you, had I been working on a design and was talking about killing someone or some sort of horrible thing like that then yeah, it would be time to send me to the funny farm. I still run things through like that to this day.

Heh. I know what you mean.

The only issue comes when you doubt yourself.

"Will this work?"

"Hmm, yeah, I think it should work nicely."

"But what if (...) happens?"

"Well, I could just (...)."

"Oh, that should work. Definitely ... Definitely maybe ... Maybe ... Hmmm."

"It'll work."

Yep, that's me.

Yeah I usually do this when performing tasks like what I've done and need to do and how I'm supposed to do it. It does help.

Talking to yourself may help you focus, but not those sitting around you in the office!

Funniest thing was that I sat in the trainstation and someone was calling and talking and laughing on the phone.
Then all of a sudden his phone rang and I was like... "Wasn't he on the phone already?"
Since he laughed out loud while all of a sudden his phone rang.

Is this madness or was he just that lonelely that he decided to "act" a call with actually noone.
Since after the phone rang and he picked up I could actually hear a voice over his telephone and previously I could not since the room we were sitting in was really quiet and isolated to isolate the noise of the trains passing through.
