That would never be me. I'm constantly talking to myself. People think I'm crazy, but I think I'm just bursting with ideas!

Nah, I talk the most when I am alone.
Do people really not talk to themselfs? They should! It's not "crazy" if you know there isn't another person there. But it's ok to think out loud. It's even good because sometimes you can hear how you sound and change. I like it and this is a type of self therapy
What do you guys talk about?
mostly about how much I hate myself and I'm worthless, but in a casual, non mean way.
You should cut your face off and eat it.
Not many people have done that so you'd no longer be worthless, and you'd be a hideous monstrosity and hideous monstrosities have shock value so you'd have value, too.
Cinematography and geopolitical effects of mountainous terrain rainfall on world building stories. Also making ways of tricking people into reading the book about potatoes.
Do you not cat?
I cannot relate. I live with my GF but even if she leaves for the night I'll start talking to my self somehow.
You lucky BS bastards... And I have to answer the same question to my kid every 5 seconds.
Because I said so
For months at a time unfortunately! Lmfao- Use the phone+ call friends and family- people aren't around forever
Aside from work, most of the talking I do at home is joking around with my cat. He has no idea what the fuck is going on but I crack myself up and he meows his little heart out like he's watching John Mulaney
You don't talk to yourself?
4, because I work partly remote so there have been occasions where I have no reason to leave the house or see another person for four days. I’m introverted so it’s kind of nice, but it’s probably not healthy
Edit: and my dog is not mine: I share custody with my ex (it’s actually her dog) so that’s only half a week
I have a remote work job. Sometimes,I don’t talk to another human for many days. It doesn’t bother me too much:
I talk to my dogs. Honestly, my dogs have probably kept me alive and well as much as I keep them alive and well.
I battled severe depression, drug/alcohol abuse/addiction. I was living in the Colorado rockies in the cold mountains with out connection to civilization for weeks on end... im unofficially on rhe spectrum too. I think ive gone a couple days saying nothing, definitely.
Nope, I talk to my dog and three times a day we walk around the block and inevitably someone will wave and say hello
Got too many vocal cats I talk back to. Don't think I can go an hour unless I'm sleeping.
They don't even need to be vocal, sometimes they're just sitting there and I go "¿¿¿QUÉ PASA???"
I don't even speak Spanish man
If I didn't talk to myself out loud or use voice-to-text on my phone to leave internet comments, I'd be on day 5 of vocal silence right now.
I solve this problem by occasionally yelling at bafflingly stupid current events, as recounted by various youtubers/podcasts.
Gotta keep up that ability to insult on the fly.
Stretch those creativity brain pathways, in addition to your vocal cords.
Either that or cursing myself out for writing bafflingly bad code, from time to time.
... Less insanely, I also sing, and... have neighbors I talk to, go outside from time to time, chat up randos.
I have an internal monologue nearly all the time.
Sometimes I just outwardly verbalize it.
I have gone days without talking to other people but I don't think I've ever gone a waking hour without talking.
I got this killer up inside me. I can’t talk to my mother, so I talk to my diary.
When I moved to my current house, my wife and kid were at our previous house for a while. I deliberately chose this house for its isolation, so for a while the only people I really spoke to were local cashiers every few days. (Side note: my kid was three at the time and had left a toy triceratops on the back of one of the commodes the day we signed for the house. I never thought a toilet would make me miss someone so much.)
Anyway, I work remotely and had a daily virtual meeting. Most days, that meeting was the first and last time I spoke. I also had some kind of long lived sinus infection going on, so not only did I speak pretty rarely, until I opened my mouth I wasn't even sure if I'd have a voice that day.
