Talking to myself: the inner dialogue

Gordon-not-Ramsay

I don't know about any of you guys, but I do talk to myself. It's hard to control, because I will mutter any disdain I feel, often loud enough to be heard. This obviously causes conflict. I've started singing instead, changing lyrics to match my frustration.

I think of Austin Powers. The scene where he is being thawed out from cryogenic freeze. He sees Liz Hurley and says, "I bet she shags like a minx... how do I tell them I have no inner monologue?"

That's what I'm like (but without the misogyny or the chest wig).

Does anyone else do this? Does anyone else feel like their inside voice is switched off? Are you compelled to speak your thoughts? WinkThumbsup

    I’m always talking nonstop about different things. It’s like I’m talking to a group of people, like a teacher. I get so carried away and I’ll be chatting listing of all these facts about this cool bird I just saw and then I look up and realise it’s still just me and no one was there to listen.
    At school when I was concentrating I used to just start talking, airing my thoughts is what my teacher Miss Bowen said and I liked that phrase so I still say it now.

    Funny really how I’m utterly useless at talking to people and making small talk but I can talk to myself fluently.
