Does anyone apart from me talk to themselves. Just now, I had to clean the bathroom and didn't feel like doing it, so I said to myself "Look, get on with it and just be grateful you're not a Victorian maid of all work!" Does that make me bonkers.? [it does help, though]

I talk to myself all the time, and I have no excuse as I don't live alone ...
I even sing (quietly) around my local supermarket. I know I'm doing it and I try to stop myself, but it's a losing battle I'm afraid.

Why should I talk to myself when I can have a perfectly intelligent conversation with the cat ?

I am constantly talking to myself as my DC and DGC do not appear to be able to hear my voice!!! After some question or comment I often ask the wall if it is listening - still no response!

I don't talk to myself - I have an invisible friend. We have quite lengthy discussions.

My DH doesn't talk to himself either - it's to the radio, the cooker, the boat, the wind, the other car driver ......

Think I will find myself an invisible friend. Never had one as a child, but better late than never! grin

I sing quietly when out too. I hope it's quietly.

Did anybody really had invisible friends when they were a child? I remember trying, but it just didn't work.

No, I never had an imaginary friend when I was little, and I don't remember any friends who did either. Perhaps it's a more recent invention.

I was an only child and our dog was my best mate and more biddable than any sibling so I didn't need a pretend friend.
