Not sure if doing this is normal...

i've been aware that over the last 2 years particularly i've gotten into the habit of talking to myself. But it's not like muttering under my breath, it's more having a conversation with myself pretending to be another person that i know. They're usually different people each time and i put myself in a different scenario.
Sometimes i do it when i'm upset or angry about something so that it feels like i'm almost listening to my own problems? But i put myself in the mind of the other person. I don't know whether this is some kind of coping mechanism or if it's abnormal behaviour, but i find myself doing it several times a day.

Does anyone else do the same thing? Is it normal?

Thanks

Omg i do this! Usually ive im practicing what i have to say to someone but also to talk out my problems with myself is that weird?

That's what I do, but I just put myself in the position of the other person. I think it gets more prominent when I'm feeling anxious or upset

we must be okat if its both of us right? XD

I do this as well. But I tend to do it as a coping mechanism as I grew up pretty much alone and didn't have anyone to talk to.

.......were normal....yeah?(:/)

hey are you saying you put yourself in the position of another person whilst imagining talking to you?

interesting, I suffer from a similar problem but I never imagine myself in the scenario

I do it ALLL the time. Sometimes speaking to myself out loud allows me to focus better on what I'm thinking about.

Yes I think many people do that. I have to talk about a topic to myself as a way to revise for exams, but that's not what I was referring to when I mentioned talking to myself. I was more specifically talking about holding conversations with myself as another persona.

Haha that's what I do ALL the time! I hope it's normal...
The fact is, I have a lot of siblings, but being the only girl, I guess it's still a kind of coping mechanism. Often, I'll pretend I'm one of my friends, and I'll be telling her all about something that's just happened recently, only in a more private way than how I would usually speak to her. Sometimes, I just talk to myself, without a "second person"; I find it so enjoyable (Uh-oh) that I could spend hours doing it, which is why my parents go nuts over my "hour-showers", even though the water is turned off most of the time. I don't know if that's even vaguely normal, and your post has comforted me SO MUCH - I thought I might be getting schizophrenic, or something else worrying

So you'll take on two different characters during a conversation?

Yes.

why

hey, i am quite introverted and focus inwards rather than outwards. this means i have lots of internal dialouge and yes i totally understand what you mean when you say you think of scenarious, i do this as well. Like i will think what if this happened, what would i say and end up talking to myself internaly. Iw ouldn't say it is abnormal for you to do it allowed, just that you are a very self aware person who prefers their own company
