Am I crazy for talking to myself?

[rootX]

only in my head - all times! I keep on analyzing, would develop different scenarios and ponder about the consequences

Sometimes, I would stop and wonder what I was just talking about and I forget.

I'm wondering if there is something to actually talking out loud that takes another step to do in the brain that helps to make the memory stronger?

I'm wondering if there is something to actually talking out loud that takes another step to do in the brain that helps to make the memory stronger?

Some people have asked me why I have a good memory, and I tell them that it's somewhat of a 'method'. "Thinking" 'something' is the lowest level, "saying" 'something is the next level, and "writing" 'something' down is the highest. Each one up makes it more 'concrete' in that it appears to the brain to be more permanent, I think anyway.



(I've written that down before)

ive been doing it for as long as i can remember its fun to argue with yourself when there's no one else to argue with (or maybe I am just crazy)

I found it to be a real indication of deeper intelligence to have an inner voice

You are only crazy when you start getting answers!

.. but what if the answers are not only accurate, but more often than not, correct...?

Whoa...I think I've seen you !

 

[Danger]

I talk to myself all the time, but it's only because it's the only way to ensure that someone might be listening. Even at that, I'm deluded, because most of the time I ignore myself.
