Talking to yourself and hearing your own thoughts?

Question

Here's the story.  When i was a kid, the only time i spoke to myself outloud is when i played by myself, but later in my teen years, i never, i mean i never spoke outloud to myself unless i was excited, i only remember one time when i did that.  And i remember almost everything i did in my whole life.

Now, later in my early adulthood i started talking to myself, i started hearing my own thoughts.  There were only two times when i heard my thoughts, once in my first highschool, and once when i was little.  But through out my teens i never heard my thoughts.  But now i have the habbit of talking to myself out loud because i live alone, and in a conversation kind of way.

The periods when talk to myself outloud i hear my thoughts.  Sometimes, i hear them in way where as i can't control them and i end up repeating them outloud, especially when they're negative.  But i've decided to do a little experement and not talk to myself out loud for a week.  Just to see if i can still hear my thoughts.

I may have answered my own question but here's my question that i need answered.



1.Do any of you who talk to yourselves, ever hear your own thoughts?


I haven't spoken outloud to myself for nearly an hour now, and i haven't heard my thoughts, i just want to know if any of you have experience in with this issue.

I understand this in relation to how I have realized that everyone has a voice inside their head, and over time I realized that it interprets everything in the same kind of way. For example when I read something, I can picture the way the person would say it, which is how I interpret what i am reading or hearing. I cant really relate to the talking to myself part, but I see this with internal conversations..hope this helps :)

I don't know if I fully understand your question, but I think of almost everything in the English language these days. When I was younger, I didn't always do this. I was thinking along the same lines but it wasn't in full English because more could be processed at once. If I talk to myself out loud, and then my thoughts answer whatever I'd said aloud, then that doesn't concern me because I feel like I'm just continuing my own internal dialogue. However, when im drifting off to sleep, broken thoughts and random words/phrases shoot out of nowhere. They don't make sense. It's like sleeping awake.

Are you talking about internal monologue? Internal monologue is where you hear yourself in your head speak while thinking. Internal monologue is distinct from hearing voices because it does not sound the same as hearing an external voice or your voice when you speak aloud.

I often talk aloud to myself as a method to understand my thoughts more clearly. These two things are normal. Explain a little further and I'll try to help.

If you hear words not caused by your own volition and they sound the same as the outside world you're probably having a few auditorial hallucinations. Letme know if that's the case. If they don't sound like the outside world they're probably classified as negative thoughts :)

The voice you pay attention is the voice of reason and judgment of right and incorrect. And it is your own. except your suggestions is remembering the voices of your mum and dad and or instructors in existence, for the duration of your transforming into era. each and every from time to time reminiscence performs tricks on you. And your own voice gets disguised after which you notice a doctor, because of the fact if somebody hears too many voices it fairly is a diverse character disease in case you % out with them and then talk aloud in a distinctive character after which you may call it stepping into character like the comedian Robin Williams.
