Do you talk to yourself?

[memoriesbymichelle]

I do. I will admit it. I can't help it. I carry on full blown conversations with my own self. I'm not crazy LOL

What about you? Do you talk to yourself?

 

[miss-a]

I talk to myself often, but I've also gotten in the habit of talking to the Lord, often out loud, and it's become enough of a habit that sometimes I have to watch it because folks might hear me and not see Him and think I am crazy!

 

[dayhiker]

lol ... you ladies are crazy ... grin .... OK your also normal. I talk sometimes to myself, mostly I think to myself, not so much out loud.

 

[mjmcmillan]

I do, all the time.

Talking to yourself is NOT a sign of craziness, though some would say otherwise. Having an argument with yourself because you didn't take you to the dance-- now that would be crazy. So is asking yourself to repeat what you just said because you weren't paying attention.

Are you kidding me? I do it all the time. And I talk to God. Talking to yourself is not bad. Answering yourself is a little nutty. Telling yourself that you're wrong is crazy.

 

[power2theweak]

Oh, yes...all the time!

 

[blackribbon]

I used to think I talked to myself but later realized that I was really talking to God...the deciding factor was based on the solutions that I ended up with often had nothing to do with what I wanted the answers to be. Most of my conversations are in my head...but they are kind of going on non-stop during the day.

When I need to make a quick decision,I will talk to myself in an audible voice.
But most of the time,I talk to myself inside my head. Yes,some people have told me that I live inside my head.

When I was working for the V.A. Mental Hospital,while working my way through college,one patient mumbled something. After I asked him what he said,his response was this. "Oh,don't mind me. I have a habit of talking to myself in French,and answering myself in German."

Sounds like a very good way to keep languages fresh. I've talked to so many who say the knew a language pretty good when they were young but have forgotten most of it as they aged and didn't use it. He was smart in my mind.

I sometimes talk to myself. Often in English. Sometimes in German - it just comes out in German or else I am deliberately saying something in German to keep it fresh in my mind since I usually don't get to converse with anyone in German. Sometimes I amuse myself by saying something in different accents - different English or different German accents. Not really making fun of people's accents - it just interests me how different accents or dialects developed.

I love accents! Australian is one of my favorites, and then English. I never really learned another language. I learned to say a few things in different languages, like in German I learned Sprechen Sie Deutsch? And in French I learned things like l'homme est au restaurant (the man is at the restaurant) and Dr. Strangelove c'est intelligent. I know a few in spanish too but not enough of any of it to carry a conversation. LOL

Hahaha, well call me crazy and nutty then LOL. I talk to God all the time, and I also talk with myself and I will think something and then say to myself "I don't care" about whatever thought I was just having and it might have been a thought about my being wrong about something

Coo Coo for coco puffs that's me

Michelle, I'd assume you run into to quite a few Hispanics being were you are?

Yeah but I don't speak much spanish. The cleaning people at Kohls are spanish speaking and one of them is always trying to teach me stuff. I can say Como Se llama? (what is your name)
Que paso? (what's up)
qué hora es? (what time is it)
Hasta la vista (until I see you)
Manana (morning)
gracias por nada (thanks for nothing) LOL.

nothing major and I don't think I should have to learn spanish unless I go to Mexico or somewhere where that is the language they speak. We are in America and English is the preferred language IMHO. I'm a rebel. I have nothing against anyone, but I would never go to another country and expect them to cater to my language. I would need to learn how to communicate in their language. But that's just me.

When I was in junior high school,I received a "D" in English,and an"A" in Spanish. I wanted to learn Spanish for two reasons. Reason number two was for me to say some Spanish words to some of my favorite Major League Base Ball players; who were from Latin American Countries.

The number one reason was,so that I could know what Ricky Ricardo was saying to Lucy,as he was chewing her out on the "I Love Lucy" show.

I have thought about taking up Spanish because when the Castro regime finally passes from the scene, Cuba might become a dynamic place once they rebuild the country. It might be a nice place to visit or even retire to in 20 years. There could be investment opportunities. Who knows?

LOL! My dad loved that show so much! I miss him!

 

[dayhiker]

Lucy was amazing in her understanding of how to entertain people.

 

[memoriesbymichelle]

SO....exit don't keep us in the dark.......what WAS Ricky Ricardo saying when he was chewing Lucy out?

 

[Doctor Strangelove]

Lucy was amazing in her understanding of how to entertain people.

Yesrs ago I watched a documentary that was a biography of her. She played a ditzy character but she was actually a shrewd businesswoman in real life.
