Why do people talk to themselves?

Answer by  bonnielou (11)

everyone does! Its just a form of thinking out loud. people who are bored, or lonely, excited, empty, tired, frustrated, happy, sad, angry, trying to make decisions, confused, worried, pressured,etc, really any of those things or maybe a combination. No big deal. sane people do it, intelligent people, or, unstable.

People talk to themselves because we want to feel comfort, and we want to feel as if we are not lonely. We also talk to animals (not in the usual way), and tell them about our problems amongst other things. Some of us talk more than others. By Hannah, 15.

To remind themselves of what they need to remember is a usual reason, for some people only remember through repetition. Others it is because they have no one to talk to, so yourself is your best company. I know that I do that myself a lot.

People are talking to demons, who are working to control their train of thought, God gave man a sound mind, well balanced and righteous, doctors would have us believe talking to ourself is normal, those are teachings of dark knowledge, dark knowledge is knowlegde that doesn't have Jesus light onit.

Some people do it to better clarify an idea, test how it sounds out loud. Other people believe they are actually talking to someone else.

To entertain themselves or out of habit. To help themselves focus. Because they are lonely, bored or forgetful. The sound of their voice comforts or calms them.

When saying it loud, I do not forget it, and will always remember what I said. I think this has something to do with a persons' IQ, and something about the left or right brain thinking.
