    Talking to yourself - Crazy?

    Report bad ads?

    I've never noticed until my brother pointed it out but when I'm working I tend to talk through whatever problem I happen to be working on - as if someone else is in the room , I tend to find it easier to think that way. Does this sound like a bad habbit as its often something associated with crazy people?

    Do you think the pious don't sin?

    They merely:
    Veiled themselves and didn't flaunt it
    Sought forgiveness and didn't persist
    Took ownership of it and don't justify it
    And acted with excellence after they had erred - Ibn al-Qayyim

    Yeah some people have that habit but it's not good. That's really dangerous . We can talk to ourselves in our brain. Don't talk to yourself because if anyone hears you . I am not joking we should just avoid doing weird things .

    It's somewhat common but it doesn't mean that you are crazy but some people think so.

    i think that people will realize that you're thinking out loud and there's nothing wrong with that. many ppl think out loud and you can tell that that's what they are doing and not talking to themselves. like they may say: "hmm, now if i put this here..." etc.

    talking to yourself does not make you crazy.
    when yourself starts talking back, then you have a problem.

    Some say it's the only way to find intelligent conversation.

    I'm often inclined to agree with that.

    Salaam,

    There's a difference between talking to yourself and talking to voices in your head I imagine a lot of people do that.

    i tend to do it as well
    its not a bad habit its just how you like to work thru a problem
    some people make a mental or written list and others work better by actually saying what they are doing to focus their thoughts

    Re: Talking to yourself - Crazy?

    same here, if i'm putting something together and i don't say certain things out loud, i tend to forget due to the gazillion things rushing through my head at the same time, and it also separates the non feasible solutions from the feasible ones, as many non working ideas can rush through your head, so i'd say it's a great way to remember the correct procedure, i'm sure you wouldn't call someone crazy for using a highlighter, well talking is like a highlighter for the brain, you tend to say less things than you think, so they are differentiated by your brain and pulled up more easily.
    why do people use recording devices (voice memos)?
    are they crazy because they might not be able to remember what they thought or is it because they like talking to machines?
    the iphone has a voice memo recorder for all those "crazy" people, and i think everyone with an iphone has used it at some point in time, so you'd have to get a guesstimate of all the people with iphones and voice recorders, and you'll have an estimate of the minimum number of crazies around you.

    again - i believe it's like a highlighter for the brain and a very useful habit to separate the weak thoughts from the strong thoughts,
    many revolutionary scientists mumble all day in their study rooms and come out with amazing discoveries and appliances that we use every day.

    whose there?
    me, myself, and i

    not to be confused with the trinity

    No its not crazy. Like someone said on this thread theres a difference in between having conversation with SOMEONE ELSE in your head and talking to yourself. But best not to do it in public.

    Salaam,

    Me: What will it be, my precious?

    Me: I think we want diet coca cola!

    Me: No, we want coca cola classic!

    Me: But we have to watch our calories if we want to lose weight!

    Me: No! We love calories, we want all of them!

    Salaam!
    No it is not crazy. I talk to myself when I study!
    BUT they say it is not normal when you have a conversation with yourself... replaying or rehanging conversations to yourself constantly (it being the same thing over and over)

    But if you are working on something and talking to yourself about what to do, where to go from there that is normal... at least I sure hope I do it and my doctor laughed at me when I asked me... (laughed in a your silly way)

    But pshchologist say if your talking to yourself and ask a complex question and than answer it... that is not normal. But hey what's so fun with being normal Kiddin'

    But no worries you're okay !

    That's what I always say whenever people point out that I am talking to myself.

    Oddly enough, not many people point it out to me these days. Imagine that.

    Nothing wrong with it, people who talk to themselves about how they're doing something are good at teaching it to others I think because they've gone over it so many times with themselves that they find it easy explaining it to other people.
