Are you saying some people don't?

I often talk to myself. I find it has many advantages.
I never talk about stuff I don't want to hear.
I never interrupt.
I never disagree with what I'm saying.
I am always witty and urbane and I know when to change the subject or just stop.
People who argue with themselves do tend to make me a little leery.
There is a guy who lives on my block that walks down the sidewalk having a conversation with himself or someone the rest of us can't see.
He will often stop, turn back and walk a few steps and then vehemently argue his point complete with gestures and facial expressions. When he feels he has made his point he will move on.
But he is getting better. He used to get into karate fights with trees and telephone poles. ( no kidding)
I have to go now, I have to ask myself what to make for dinner.

Well I live alone with my somewhat loquacious cat! So conversation of any kind is always welcome. Yes I do talk to myself - "Oh, where did I leave the keys- - - -" and then Katy (my cat) will meow loudly with her version of the answer. Or maybe, at dinner time, "Now what shall we eat tonight -- - " the never ending question - right? Katy will usually give me her opinion. And when I am paying bills - "Where did I put the Utility Bill?" Or "Darn I cannot find the postage stamps" - I bet, in truth, that most of us talk to ourselves more often than we care to admit!

I like to talk to myself or pray out loud while I walk or ride my bike, it's easier to concentrate on my thoughts that way. I think lots of people do this. But I've known people who talked to themselves to the point that they were no longer aware of their surroundings, one woman was run over by a car because she was so distracted. I don't think that's normal.
