  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Do you talk to yourself?

I never thought I did but apparently I do. LOL

First clue came when I was walking down the street and some guys in a car driving by told me I was too cute to be talking to myself. I had no clue what they were talking about and brushed it off.

Second clue came about a year later when a coworker asked me why I was sitting there talking to myself, which immediately made me think about those guys in the car.

I had to think about, was I just talking to myself? Then it dawned on me that I was thinking in my head and not realizing my lips were moving. LOL Apparently I do that a lot! Now I know why I sometimes get looks on the train or bus.

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. :wave:

We are on the same page with that one.

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?

This is funny lol A freind of mine was telling how she talks to God all the time, and was sort of caught off gaurd doing so in public but instead of saying, "I was conversing with God" she mumbled, "Oh I was just talking to myself" lol I can so relate to that. Although I will (even without thinking) begin to wonder (out loud) talking to Him, when certain seasons come where He seems to feel far off, I stop reasoning almost unconsciously (as with Him) and start talking to myself. I suppose its then (even as these seasons change) I somewhat feel I need to be reasoned with (by me). I hate that though because clarity never seems to come through this.

Whats weird was I hadnt really given that thought before. I would be more inclined to say, I dont talk to myself but rather I talk to the Lord. However thats not always true. When heaven feels open before you and the Lord (as if) practically sitting on your lap, its like you feel this twoway openess to converse with Him with everything (and receive some kind of immediate feedback). Its like its something you can perceive ( sometimes ) more then others. So then I do so throughout the day aloud (speaking just to Him). But at other times I must admit (when I feel more alone) "as if" He is not present (although He always is) I speak to myself. I just hadnt realized when it was that I did this until this OP.

So I had to jump on and say because I learned something about myself I never gave much thought to, and over such a simple question lol

Thanks for the OP

Yay for learning something! Proverbs is always telling me to "get wisdom, get understanding" LOL

I'm realizing alot of things about myself this year. Talking to myself isn't one of them though. I have recognized this for a long time.

I live in my own little world................................it's OK.............they know me there LOL. (not my quote, not sure where I heard it, but I like it LOL)

Used to ride myself growing up, talked to them too, I think I only imagined back what they might be thinking lol Because I would say something like, "Im hearing ya boy" (after I shared my own gripe) or expressed what I thought his might be lol

God never opened the mouth of my horse, but that would have been really cool if he would have lol
