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!
Yeah I talk to myself and my cat way too much, I actually talk more when I’m alone than I do when someone else is around.
Dude you’re not alone, talk to myself all the time. When I am caught I just tell people I was needing an expert opinion. Its gets a good laugh and people don’t think I’m crazy. Agatha Christina would play out the dialog in her novels to herself outloud. Most people with an active imagination does this.
Now @BetaBlake is silent because of your “you are not alone”
It would be me, except I swear a lot under my breath when I run into problems with software or things. In two languages simultaneously, even.
English and C++
English and a language that’s highly inflective and flexible. So I can’t decide if it’s worse than C++, but that still seems unlikely.
The upside is that a handful of swearword roots produce a vast array of actual meanings. And, we have compound swearings too! Stuff like ‘ballscockwhore cuntfuck’ is entirely possible, with shades of meaning even.
I had to give up talking via swearing at a previous job, because I realized I had trouble coming up with regular words for the things I meant.
I cannot relate. I live with my GF but even if she leaves for the night I’ll start talking to my self somehow.
Step one, get a girlfriend
That’s too many steps, I’ll just stick to talking with the voices in my head
if she leaves for the night
How sure are you that you’re her only boyfriend?
Do you not cat?
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 lucky BS bastards… And I have to answer the same question to my kid every 5 seconds.
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.
I would imagine one would curse a lot in that situation… We are not the same!
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
when I was a bachelor. what bachelor hasn’t.
I have gone days without talking to other people but I don’t think I’ve ever gone a waking hour without talking.
This is why cats exist
Also, you apparently have a sore throat. Who knew?
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.
Yes. Or the only words I’ve said aloud were Insane Clown Posse lyrics.
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.
