Talking to one’s self
Is it completely unusual?
Do you often find yourself talking to… well… yourself? And when you do it, do you talk out loud? Or do you have an inner-monologue that you bargain with, or argue with? Perhaps even reason with?
Over lunch today, I found myself essentially talking to myself. Had there been a psychiatrist in the room, I’d have probably ended up in a mental institution this afternoon, under close watch and barred access to any and all sharp objects.
The truth of it is simple; I was leaving a message for a certain woman on the wonder that is Google Talk (and for the record, I was typing, not actually talking - ’cause that would just be really weird) and after a short period of time, I realised indeed, that I had basically conducted an entire conversation, as well as some bargaining, with my own self.
This was not the aim of course - I had not set out to talk solely to myself - but it a twist of the unpredictable, it had ended up that way… to the casual onlooker a crazy person typing to his own screen persona.. but to myself - a perfectly respectable conversation with another person - one that just wasn’t there at that current point in time…
I am confident I am not alone in doing this.. it’s like replying to older posts in forums, or part of a conversation that referenced you hours before.
It’s really nothing to be ashamed of - it is one of those uncontrollable elements of life on the Internets.
Feel free to share your stories? (and make me feel better)
