Do U Talk 2 U? | ADHD Information

Ever find yourself talking to yourself?

Or is it just talking outloud to understand your elf?
Yeah I have constant conversation too!  I find it really helps me in organizing my thoughts.  It's kind of funny because I'm super quiet around people but I'm not quiet at all inside my head!  A lot of the time something that I had talked to myself about ends up coming out again to others.  Having already thought through the subject and re-hashed it to myself often makes me sound much more intelligent when I speak to others!

I find myself repeating my thought out loud all the time.  I find that I tend to remeber them better if I do so.  My mind covers major territory when I'm driving.  I find that the thoughts that I want ot revisit are easier to remember if I say them a few times out loud.  I can't say that I always rember them when I could do something constructive with the thoughts, but I have a better chance when I say them out loud.

I do talk to myself alot too, sometimes it's overheard and I'll be told I'm weird (my wife calls me weird).  Anyway, I'm my own best friend, so why not converse with myself.

 

I have constant mind chatter, and I mean constant, in the car, on the toilet, when Im in meetings, cooking dinner. I find myself very entertaining

I even have been known to argue with myself!!!!!!!!!

WOW I'm not WIERD!! 

JUST ADD!!!!

I talk to myself all the time too. Espcially if i am trying to "prepare" a discussion with one of my kids or hubby, or just about anything that sorta stress's me out, and i repeat it over and over and over until when the time comes for me to actually do it with another person listening, i dont becasue i have said it over so many times i dont want to say it any more!! Or, i totally clam up.

Last week a teacher said she knew it was me coming down the hall because she heard me talking to myself.  Yep, I talk to me, I enjoy the intelligent conversation.  Oh h#ll, did I spell intelligent right?  

I ruminate out loud all the time!!  It's embarrasing when someone catches me talking to myself.  I just have a complete conversation with an imaginary person. Especailly if the origional conversation diddnt go the way I wanted. I then end up reliving the thing and saying out loud all the things i should have said when that person was right there.

I talk to myself when I am working. I talk to myself when I am rehearsing what I am going to say to someone. I talk to my students when I am grading their papers.  ( aww man!! I thought your would have gotten that one right!!).

I know some of it comes from knowing that if I talk outloud when I am thinking that I can actually focus on the thought. However, there are times that I wonder if it is ADD or if I am just plain wierd.

I talk to myself, quite often acctually. If I'm in a situation where I have to make a decision I often disscus with myself out loud. It sort of make things clearer to hear it than to only think it. Don't know why but.... :-)

And I have realy gotten some looks from ppl around me *lol*

Isn't that constant chatter in the head 'talking to our selves'? At least by articulating it it's acknowleding it and hopefully keeps it more fresh and less sinister - i certainly chatter all the happy stuff to myself and, when i'm in a darker mood, i sometimes try writin/scripting of all the darker thoughts as they pass by it is a real moodlifter as it can seem so much less important and sometimes ridiculous, viewed in writing....and just not...relevant...lifes more than that...

aren't adhd and wierd pretty much synonomous?

i talk to myself all the time. that is, if i'm not in one of my 'moods'.

the better the mood i'm in, the more likely you'll catch me asking myself questions, and answering them.

the darker my mood, the more i shut down and don't talk. i give myself the same silent treatment others get. fair is fair, right?

I talk to myself, tell myself jokes, and crack myself the hell up, ALL THE TIME.

I can't get out of the shower in the morning because I am having such an awesome time in my head, thinking of funny sh*t and imagining life scenarios or dancing to the music in my head.
