Experiment Do you speak alone / mutter to yourself?

[Fontaine]

I do it extremely often, especially when I'm stressed or need to figure out something important. I also insult myself aloud often ("Fontaine, you're truly a dumb fucker, kill yourself").

When people are around, I don't voice sounds but still continue to move my lips. When they can see if I move my lips, I don't do it, or less... Because I'm aware this is weird and can freak out people. The only socially acceptable form of muttering to yourself is when focusing on reading a text.

Talking to yourself is apparently a trait quite common in old bachelors, as well as people with high intelligence or neuroticism.

I also often run scenarios and imaginary dialogues in my head.

 

[FiveFourManlet]

I often speak to myself when i remember the times I embarrassed myself.

 

[Deleted member 7448]

More like a never-ending inner monologue. I never felt the need to vocalize it, but inside my head it's pretty intense.

High IQ is not necessary, average IQ is all you need, maybe slightly below average, any more IQ is just dead-weight.

 

[Deleted member 7448]

Ohh, I do react to what my inner voice says though, making faces or reactions sometimes.

 

[NormieKiller]

All the time baby..

 

[AllHandsOnDeck]

I am my only company

 

[ThereIsYourGod]

I speak to myself but only if I alone, never in front of other people. I use this habbit to learn languages, I just build a dialog about something and it helps to learn.

 

[Frankenstein's M.]

Mainly when Iam depressed otherwise not really

 

[itsmemario]

I do it all the time.

 

[Autizmooos]

all the time

 

[SilentSoup]

When I'm really frustrated I talk to myself sometimes, I try to do it as little as possible because it's so kooky.

The other day I dropped a glass and it shattered all over the floor. I berated it like it was a person, you fucker, why did you do this to me you son of a bitch, etc. JFL that glass wasn't alive.

 

[Luxity]

all the time

 

[TheSecondComing]

All the time, otherwise I'd probably never hear my voice. I like to talk, just incapable of building relationships.

 

[Mainländer]

I speak loudly to myself all the fucking time when I'm alone and when I'm not alone I mutter with my mouth semiclosed. Upon moving to a foreign country that behavior increased a lot because I feel alone and miss speaking Portuguese.

 

[Vodaccenu]

Incel Trait # 456069

 

[bakadesu]

All the time. I mean who else am i supposed to talk to?

 

[PersonalityChad]

I constantly argue with myself. I even created some sort of persona for these "debates". Shit's fucked.

 

[Deleted member 677]

All the time.

 

[Hoffman_13]

yes
i can't stop

 

[Anger]

Whenever there is no people around

 

[JustinSane]

The whole department knows about it.

Not only do I speak to myself/mutter, I tend to smirk when something funny pops in my head or I imagine a random scenario etc.
Sometimes I'm not aware when I do it because I've been doing it since I was a kid. I think its called "Overactive Imagination" or "Overactive Daydreaming". I am trying to move to another department or shift because I've developed a reputation of being the autistic weirdo, they even talk to me like I'm a special needs person. That shit is aggravating, insulting and it makes me feel like shit.

 

[Curious0]

I do it all the time when I'm alone.
Sometimes I turn on sad music and make up sad stories or read out loud suicide letters.
Sometimes I have imaginary discussions.
When I play video games, I pretend to be a lets player.

 

[Blacktarpill]

Same.

Lol I imagine you loudly saying incel/weird stuff or insulting German JBs in Portuguese now

Must feel great to speak a language no one around you understands.

Same.

I do it especially when I'm lost and seeking the right direction (I have the orientation skills of a dumb rabbit). This must look so weird seen from outside.

It feels good but Germans mostly hate that. In my job they reproach the foreigners who talk in their native languages to one another and say "here's Germany and you must speak German". In the streets I've received looks of utterly disapproval and disliking for speaking Portuguese.

Totally different from Brazil, in Brazil everyone thinks it's interesting when you speak a foreign language, and if it's English people will always try to speak English to you, even the ones who only know a couple of words.

I do it often in private. It's a good way to train and develop your ideas/rhetoric even in the total absence of interlocution. It's a nice opportunity to curse all the scumfucks you ran across over the course of the day as well.

In France at least a third of the people on public transportation don't speak French (usually Arabic or African language)... Everyone is accustomed to it now

I agree, but it still looks cooky/spooky as fuck. Imagine walking on your father in midst of a monologue.

I guess Germany is the same in big cities, but I'm in a rural area so they probably still resent it.

 

[ChronicPaincel]

I am my only company

 

[Deleted member 1410]

All the time idgaf what people think

 

[ClydeF]

I do, but usally to practice a seconds language (e.g. English if that's not your first language)

 

[IsolationHurts]

I tried recording it once. It really did look pretty strange. I live alone in a unit enclosed by thick walls though, so I don't think my vituperation or bizarre joking has ever been intercepted.

 

[Skindiana Bones]

All the time when I'm at home. I have conversations with myself

My mother once heard me and thought I was schizophrenic. This is honestly what it looks like to people - mental illness...

It's incredible that so many incels have this trait - must be a coping mechanism for loneliness

So much this. My brother on the other hand constantly talks to himself loudly.

 

[Unwanted]

Another incel trait spotted

 

[Deleted member 14490]

Yes.

 

[StaroRavager]

I have full fledge debates and arguments with myself, I tell myself jokes, and at times I’ll make an entire speech just for myself

 

[Deleted member 13060]

All the time.

 

[Dude420]

That voice is the only person that talks to me.

 

[1980Revolver]

Chronic self-talker, though usually in an environment where there is no one save myself. "Inner dialogue" is also a habit.

 

[Atavistic Autist]

I often pace around my room and talk to myself in a whisper. This is common with Aspergercels.

 

[purple]

i do it when im gaming in get annoyed or when i need to think of a quick plan while gaming

 

[dax9251]

sometimes the voice inside me keeps me from listening to what other say

 

[KilluminoidBR]

Yes, often.

 

[MaxZM98]

it's a common trait for introverts.

 

[Cleftcel]

It's a good way to train and develop your ideas/rhetoric even in the total absence of interlocution

for sure, talking to oneself is a necessity for incels. Without conversation the mind withers

 

[Ascent God]

I do that sometimes when I'm thinking about cringy things I did or said in the past
