What are the side affects of talking to yourself?

Is there a downfall to talking to yourself? Why is it bad? Or why do you think its bad to do this? Can you start to hear voices if you talk to yourself? What affect does talking to yourself have on your mind? Please tell me everything you know or have experienced, if you've ever spoken to yourself out loud.

The reason i want to know is, because i think it's having an affect on my mind some how. I've been hearing my thoughts, and sometimes, especially when i become anxious, i repeat my thoughts out loud, its time for me to stop talking to myself. Someone please help.

I'm not crazy or mental, i just have the habbit of thinking out loud in a conversational kind of way, if you know what i mean, in order for me to think, i have to hear my thougts, either silenetly or out loud.
