My GF talks to herself a lot. Am I wrong to ask her to stop?

She loves to talk, and I like to listen. I'm not talking about general discussion. She will document what she does all throughout the day - as in she will say outloud what she's doing and what she's going to do...

It annoys me, because sometimes I have no idea if she's asking for a response.

I've let her know, as kindly as I possibly can, but she keeps on doing it and now she gets annoyed and doesn't speak to me.

Idk what to do.

Do not try to change her. Do not ever try to change any of your girlfriends.

If she wants to change, be a good, positive, enthusiastic, supportive partner for any changes that are for the better.
If she doesn't want to change don't try to change her. Nobody's perfect. And also, on the other hand, you can leave anyone at any time for any reason or for no reason inparticular. It's down to her to motivate you enough to stay with her. And vice versa.

For things like her constantly talking to herself, there's 2 main choices:

1.

Tolerate it.

2.

Dump her.

I personally would be driven up the wall by someone that spoke to themselves as much as she does. To the point that I'd be very likely to dump her. It's fine if as you get to know someone really well you discover a deal breaker and end up going your separate ways as a result.
