We all do it. At least I think we do...
When you talk to yourself, whether mentally or verbally. How do you usually refer to yourself?

Personally, I use I.

I'm an only child and I had imaginary friends until I was five or six years old. I don't really talk to myself out loud anymore. :)

I talk to myself, only to say things like

"eh, it'll do"

"arghh! Bollox!"

"yeeeah!"

I talk to myself only when I get mad or when I play a video game and I'm losing I normally dont loose in video games

hmm, i always talk to myself in my head mentally, but since i think in yopenese, i don't use personal pronouns, so i don't call myself i or you or anything, heheh.

Talking to yourself can include saying things inside your head.

First person when I'm being earnest or stern with myself.

Second person when I'm slightly uncomfortable or detached.

Inclusive sense when I'm feeling egotistically multi-faceted.

Usually I talk to other people. They give better conversation.

It's pretty odd. First person when thinking about mathematics, third person when thinking about philosophy, and everything else varies on the situation.

"Nasty hobbitses, they stole it from us! We hates it!"

I use inclusive when I'm arguing with myself (damm democratic values :mad: though my militaristic side seems to be in power right now)

i'm not talking to myself am i?

when i talk to myself (as opposed to just talking outloud) i call myself YOU

... am I the only person that doesn't talk to herself? (er, himself, whatever)

Sometimes I make up conversations with OTHER people 'in my head'... if I happen to be thinking about them, but I don't really think about the conversation itself, just their overall reaction to some idea rather...

always the first person - whether it be out loud or the narrative/dialogue in my mind

do self RPs count as talking to myself?

ie*

lafaunduh sits in the car waiting for germichael
germichael sighs and walks out to the car
"i hope he be burrringin me muh cake" lafaunduh mummbles
germichael walks up to lafaunduh and stabs her with a spork
"JELLLLLLLLLLLO!!!" lafaunduh yells

and so on

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! jello?! JELLO!

I tend to carry out one sided conversations. I will actually say my side of the conversation and the crazy voices in my head will respond in the manner that crazy head voices tend to use. I am not actually talking to myself so much as I am talking to a mental construct of another person. I think that recently I am starting to talk to myself more often, I do not think I am going crazy though.

usually in the third person (ie that was dumb smunkee )
I think it is because when I was in elementary school I had a teacher that would listen to self affirmation tapes when it was nap time. "I, smunkee, am a smart person" somewhere in my kindergarten mind while half asleep I must have messed up the flow of the sentence.

same for both

I speak to myself in 1st person, but I usually dream in the third person

First person. The only sane way to talk to oneself. :D
