Talking to Yourself.

I mentioned that isolation has made me start talking to myself. Not full conversations just little bits of encouragement and camaraderie and Everyone else said they always talk to themselves it's normal.

But when I asked if they do it in their normal voice or they put on a different voice or voices I didn't get any responses except from catalog who said its his normal voice but in a a whisper.

i talk to myself in a normal voice, normally to crack jokes or make sardonic comments i think are funny, and i often laugh, in fact i'd say i was one of my best audiences.

For me it's different voices. Feels more like company that way doesn't it

last night, when i turned off the lights and went to bed something in my room fell on the floor and i hesitated for a moment whether to put the light on again and to see what it was but i said to myself "what does it matter, there'll always be things falling down". just my normal voice. what happens more frequently though is that i'm practising dialogues that i think i might be having in the future, or i'm replaying a dialogue that i have had but with a different outcome. i speak in my normal voice.

My mum does it a lot to plan and recall while doing housework. I sometimes use this as a kind of personal pep talk. A kind inner drill sergeant. Also I do a "fuck this" when i get into a slump or a negative thought cycle, it draws a line for me, no more, that's enough.

Smoked no, but with ayahuasca full conversations with people I knew that weren't exactly 'heard' but imagined.

For me I'm wanting to connect this with 'secondary personalities' but if everyone else uses their normal voice it doesn't work

for me it's more like i imagine im talking to people, or trying on other people, and putting what i think htey would say in my voice, if that makes sense. like imagining possible conversations.

When I was in a more stressful job I'd have long imaginary arguments with people, usually during my commute to work, often ending in violence, me grabbing my boss by the throat and pinning him against the wall etc. All very natural and healthy. But sometimes I'd argue back out loud, at my most angry moments I might just blurt out "fucking lazy inconsiderate prick" barely under my breath.

Normal voice, I guess. But then I'm generally unaware that I'm doing it, so I'd have to doing it consciously in order to put on another voice.

It's mental but good for everyone, saves you from actually grabbing them by the throat and pinning them against the wall like some uncivil impulsive ape.
