The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Well hello there all
Have been told it is a bit beyond odd to talk to yourself and more so when you answer.

Well I do it and worse still I will sit and do it in empty chat rooms or message boards, such as this for hours on end sometimes....

Any other nutters out there do the same or have a thougth on the matter?

Of COURSE I talk to myself. I am the only one who really understands everything I say, anyway.

Well, Most of the time. But, then again, who needs to understnad everything all the time? That would lead towards a pretty boring world.

Like peanut butter, for example. If it were always creamy, WHERE WOULD THE FARDLING NUTS GO THEN??? HMM?! I ASK YOU!

Requiem, I couldn't have said it better myself!
And that's a "ditto". Nutters all the way, although I excuse it to "artistic eccentricity" ;)

*raises hand*

I do it at work...drives them crazy...they think I'm gonna go postal on them or something. Hell they think I'm going to hell anyway for being what they call "gothic".... heh... I should start talking to myself in Latin...that would get them! BWAHAHA!!!

they look nervous when I mutter "porcus irae" and "canus illa."

Only one person ever asked me to translate my favourite, though, of "Cuius testiculos habes, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Latin is fun. :)

ok so umm... what does that mean?

wouldnt mind freakin out a couple of dolts with that... but im fucked if they ask for translation lol :P

LOL..the only latin I can remember from the one year I had of it in highschool is Non sibi sed omnibus! Hahaha...if they could understand it, it wouldn't scare them at all! Hahaha!

WHen you have them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow.

The others are "pig of anger" and "dog of wrath."

Oh god that's funny!! "pig of anger" Hahaha!

Hm yeah I talk to me, even when there are other people around.. For some reason the watch me in an odd way... Strange people.. :p

i have talked to myself mostly when i'm angry and it's like im talking how i wish i could have said it, but held myself back from doing so. lol

I do talk to myself rather too often in fact so much so that i will actively avoid other people's conversation in favour of my own ...jk...well..erm...lol

I do tonnes of perculiar things too many to list here cos well the thread would be closed for length ..lol

*does a dance of joy and heads of reciting the lord's prayer backwards in latin*

nemA .olam a son erabil des,menoitatnent ni sacudin son ne tE. sirtson subirotibed sumittimid te ticut artson atibed sibon ettimid te, eidoh ad munaiditouq murtson menaP. arret ni te oleac ni tucis, aut satnulov tiaF.muut munger tainevdA. muut nemon rutecitifitcnas, caelis ni se iuq retson RETAP.......

Say that out loud 3 times infront of a mirror and you will be absolutely possesed...LMFAOOOOOFFFF!!!!!!!......jk jk

it is the lord's prayer absolutely reversed...lol ...well i did go to a catholic school ...had to learn something ...*giggles*

It hapens to me, but ussually when Im alone, thinking of something or when Im badly on it with my nerves...Ussually when Im under the stress, its my way of relieving it....

Oh...but wait!
As I think of it, that happens to me most of the time just in my head. I mean Im not talking to myself out loud often.

MMM Ithink out loud that count :)

Yes I think that thinking out loud and talking to yourself has something in common...lol
*smiles*

Oh thats good what a relief..........now what about all those lil voices that talk to me :)

I talk to myself all the time, coz i dont answer back. sometimes there are things that need to be said but would hurt too many people if they were said to someone.

Constantly. I talk to myself all the time, sometimes when Im not alone and dont realise im doing it :-)

I just tend to talk about useless crap and htings that have happened during the day... it helps with the acting though, as I start talking my lines out loud to myself on buses and things (at least it keeps the other passengers entertained.)

revel in your madness guys.

Echo x

I luv to talk to myself. Especially argue. The thing that gets me is when I start to lose my own arguments to myself. How do you explain to yourself that you out argued yourself? Then I get upset at myself and at my other self and start the argument all over again..just to see if I can win. Does that make sense?

I don't talk to myself on public transportation, or at job interviews or anything, but I do talk to myself when I'm angry, and no ones there to hear me. I guess it's just easier to yell and hear my own voice, I think hearing what you are thinking is kinda like a validation that you exist. If I hurt myself I say "owwww!" regardless of whether anyones there or not. If I hurt myself badly theres a string of swear words attached.

I talk to myself, but follow the rules when I do...

1. It's OK to talk to yourself.
2. It's OK to answer yourself.
3. It's OK to argue with yourself.
4. When you have to ask yourself what you just said, time to get checked out...lol.

Sorry, but i have to break the trend here! Hell No!!! No way do i talk to myself.. But, for all those who are borderline crazy. I am interested why you do such a 'Thing'

* What prompts you to talk to your self?

* Does it help you?

*Do you think you are always right, so only getting answers from your self is right?

* Whats the longest you have talked to your self for?

I can't wait for the replies .. I think it is fine, though, to talk to your self, i know there's a dude around the town where i live, he's always doing it.. Asking himself this and that.. Sometimes swearing to himself and scratching and shaking his head alot.. you know he's having a bad day when he's doing that!

Be well my fellow minions.. chat away.. *grins*

ahhh so glad to see
i am not the only nutter
perhaps instead of chat to myself with me
i shall find another to harass
perhaps thee?

i do it all the time and i ha when people say its crazy becuase its not

my talks with myself are all pretty logical chats.

usually i think things over in my head, split myself into 2 sides, for/against yes/no etc etc and have a battle, but each side looks at the pluses and negatives and they come to a conclusion.

sometimes i'll say "why did you do that you moron?" and a few seconds later i'll answer myself with "because..."

Hmm in answer to questions:

what prompts me to converse with myself:
Being Alone aye with converse with self if there are others to talk too? Although if the others arent talking then ..... fair game
Always right:
not even close in fact have been known to argue with myself from over three view points...
Longest:
hmmm that is difficult. outloud i think the longest was 12 hours
very heated discussion and quite disquieting to those who were around me in the resteraunt.
Dont think the waitress minded though after a hundred dollar tip for a $10 meal though

:LAUGHING:

i freak myself out alot...i have full on conversions with myself..and i answer back...lol

yeah i talk to myself alot people at my school think im odd cuz i talk to myself and answer myself oh well i dont care what they think. actusauly alot of people talk to them selves its very common.

I think it's a sad mind that can't create another mind for itself to agrue against....

only the most bound individuals would be incapable of it and well I would argue that not being able to is a sign of an underdeveloped mind.

for instance putting yourself in someone elses shoes for a moment is a form of this.... the difference with talking to yourself is that you own both sets of shoes

hmmm heels
or
combat boots
:Laughing:
one of each perhaps

but seriously
i debated in school debate teams inner school
for both sides too
:laughing:
yes very small school

Hold on a min Mordes... I can think perfectly well and often come to the correct and most productive conclusions by not talking to myself first.... A under devoloped mind.. If that was the case then.. why is it, about 80% of people in mental instiutions talk to themselfs??? Before they are that clever that they seem crazy to the underdeveloped mind.. and the underdevoloped people put them into place for the overdeveloped mind.. so they can mix with like minded people...

*Laughs so hard, falls of chair bangs head, hard on the floor and asks himself why that happened!* *grins*

heh I didn't say it was nessary for one to create another person to talk to for a thought to be well thought out..... I said if they are incapable of it that they are a sad mind ;)

I talk to myself quite often. When I need to remember something, or remind myself of something, I think saying it out loud helps remember it a little better. Yes, I answer myself too, and no, I really dont think it's odd or crazy. Whatever helps get you through the day.

hell yeah i talk to myself!!

it makes me think...even though i get into trouble at times when i do it but everyone that has a problem with it can kiss my ass.!!!!


teeheehee



c yall later






cassie

Have to admit i do often talk to myself when i'm out walking on my own, or when i'm doing stuff round the house. Its worse at work, i'll just natter to the radio. But its a little bit of comfort for me, at least i'm pretty sure i cant fall out with myself.

mosty i do it cos no one can really tell how youre feeling apart from yourself... so when i talk to myself i try to discuss what it is that's bothering and why it is i feel that way and all of that stuff... mostly trying to figure out the best way to act about a situation and whatever...

if i do it around other people its normally to piss them off or freak them out.... depending on the person. one of the funniest reactions i ever got was when after a 'fake' fight with a friend i started muttering all kinds of biological terms i remembered from biology class... stuff like mitochondrion, lyposome etc in a really angry tone... and the guy seriously thought i was taking the piss out of him in some other language! should have seen his face when i told him what i'd been saying... especially since he also studied biology at school!

OK. Dhampir, to answer your questions:

What prompts you to talk to your self?
Loneliness.

Does it help you?
At times. Not as much as talking with someone else.

Do you think you are always right, so only getting answers from your self is right?
Quite the contrary. I question most things I do. I always try to do the right thing, and it is with hope that some of what I do is right, but only time will tell that.

Whats the longest you have talked to your self for?
I don't know. I never kept track.

LMFAO!!!!

I don't talk to myself and have arguements and stuff ..hell no ..i say stuff like ..'D'oh' out loud when i do something stupid or say 'Ouch' when i hurt myself ..i sure as hell don't have arguements with myself or entire conversations......you freaks!!!!..jk...LOL

...i don't care if folks yabber to themselves...fun to watch sometimes lol ......

please don't think i do those things omg!! i had no idea what i was getting myself into answering this thread earlier...*giggles*

oh yeah and please don't be offended if i don't wish to be lumped in with the lunatic fringe ....okay okay i probably am already ...but hey i can dream can't I??? *grins*

*runs off to recite more latin stuff and such...*...LOL

*to himself* okay, tell them that you are not talking to yourself and that you think that people who do that are crazy.

*aloud* ummm... I... don't talk with myself and I think that umm... people who do that are ummm... *to himself* crazy? *answers to himself* yes, yes... crazy. *aloud* ...they are crazy!

Exactly, Zlee

Well thank you dears for repsonses
Yes we thank you yes we do
:Laughing:

Everyone does.

oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh

where was i oh yes
well um ah
just ignore me think i am sleep typing again

Yeah, I do..
They say it's healthy..SOME say it's NUTS!

well as the wise uncle Malkie says
embrace the madness all depends
on whom you ask and how you live

yay! exactly!

Once in awhile I talk to myself. What is really funny is when you instant message yourself. What a riot!

i find absolutely nothing wrong with this, i know i will sit for an hour or more and just ask my self all these questions on life, then answer them. the answered questions will begat more questions, in doing this i learned so much about my self and was able to expand my mind....

okay but when you are messaging yourself in irc half the night you know you have issues right?

well as long as it doesnt interfere with you getting through your day or getting hurt or anyone elses day, then hey wat ever floats your boat. have fun.

my boat
usually
does float
on water

whats that got to do with talking to myself?
hmmmm?

:laughing:

Yes, but does it float on WHEAT?

Wheat is awfully difficult to row through. Something about dirt.

LOL! IF you are messaging yourself on IRC half the damned night

YOU have issues..ya!

hahaha!

well
yeah i have issues
isnt that a given being as i am on here?
:LAUGHING:

ahaha ....

I talk to myself all the time, I am surprised when people I know are just finding this out.

and have you said
"Excuse me we are trying to have a private conversation?"
that really throws people for a loop

i do talk to myself but sometimes i seem to switch personalities. i call her Reggie.

Alex: hey, reg. i mentioned you.
Reggie: what the hell? you want them to think you're crazy or somethin'
Alex: i think they already think that
Reggie: shut up!
Alex: leave me alone then!

:pets forsakengirl:
It's okay dear the men in white coats will be here soon

Alex:well, it does calm me to see them again after two weeks....
Reggie: shut up, damn it!

forsakengirl Have no fear the prozac is HERE

shhh dont share

must share!

noooooo
yes
no
yes
okay this time

does talking with a plastic water ducky count

I knew a guy who would yell and scream and even beat up on inanimate objects and he was a schizophrenic without meds. So, I guess it would depend on if you are mad at the little plastic rubber ducky...I have no idea.

Well do you have a *special relationship* with your rubber ducky?

:sings: rubber ucky you're no fun
you make play time lots less fun
rubber uckies I'm not awefully fond of you.....

Thank you thank you very much

yeah and i sing too myself too
aparently like just now
la la la connect the dots
._._._._._._._._._._._.

     I made 4 personas within myself so normally I really talk to myself... A loong conversation actually... Aina, Maia, Ria and Laine are real buddies of mine... No the are not imaginary friends. I am them and they are me... Ok, its getting confusing...

     These 4 personas are my excess attitudes that I cannot synthesize because they completely repel each other. One is bubbly and careless. The other remorseful though virtuous. Another lusty and envious. The last is rather independent, docile and bit of an atheist, a side that overcomnes me once in a blue moon.


     Pretty insane? hmmm.. I guess... *winks*

just dont let personaes slip into mpd
trust me there it sucks

i talk to myself a lot by myself or around people..its just a habit

I've even gone so far as disagree with myself in the grocery store. "Should I get this? No? I think I've got this at home? Yes, you do, trust me."

It helps cause it gets me through the grocery lines faster.

Especially useful during the christmas rush. *wink

Oh don't get me started with MPD. *chuckle. I admire you for keeping them in context. Mine are not that easy.

Anna is my demon lil girl.
Lilian is the budgeter, more of the prude
Marcus is just a typical guy

and the others we won't even get into. It is a full bus load, but we manage like a big disfunctional family. The only difference is that I can't leave them in the car. *laughing. They have their own personalities, and they change their moods just like anyother kind of person.

Go with the flow of it. You are in good company.

Thats interesting Ladylilian, I like the idea, I suppose It could fit to Mslefaye according to another post =)

am or was MPD
so ....
is lonely damn it
LOL have to talk to myself no one else around
:Laughing:

Yes, noone can know what u need as u do,
noone can give u better advice....

Hey Dhampir... I truly believe that those in mental asylums are on a different intellectual plane!

i talk to myself when i want a stright answer...lol

i can carry a convo on by myself for like an hour or so don't believe me ask manifestchaos i used to talk to his answering machine for kicks. and i do talk to myself and answer myself and it can be pretty entertaining. man the convos i used to have with myself. lol. man those were some crazy ass times. the thing is i still do it!!!!!

and when all there is to say
has been said and done
its time to draw the sheet
back over the face

hmmmm just wondering...if you legitamately have MPD would you be allowed to have more than one account on VR? You know, one for each personality? No offense to anyone with this disorder, just curious if its possible or if it has happened already.

If you truely wish to know message me
for the things i know
drive myself insane
LOL

but seriously
allowed to have and do anyway are different

i did or do depending on who you ask have such MPD
Although I am the only one left....

:Begins or continues to type to herself:
so instead of a veil attempt to cure my mind with a pseudo support thread have taken my mutterings of insanity into journal and succubus club
weeeee
but seriously have been sitting her tonight talking
and i am not even listening to myself!
how screwed up is that?

isn't talking to yourself just a more direct way of keeping some kind of diary to sort out your issues in?

seriously... i'm pretty sure i only started doing it after giving up on having a diary that won't be found and pored through by my mother

lol i do it ;)
bern, don't tell others you talk to yourself! oops am talking to myself again!:P

Aye Amethyst My Siress
That could be since last time I kept a diary I made the mistake of reading it ....
Wow I am a nutter.....

So perhaps that is why I talk to let thougths take form and flow away so as not to fester ....

Interesting view ....
I thank you

or you just like the sound of your own voice?

this may make me sound really crazy...but i believe that talking to myself keeps me sane! does that make any sense?

it sounds good to me.

actually i detest the sound of my own voice hence trying to change it ...
which does take a lot of practice and patience....

makes sence. i do tend to talk to myself to keep me sane at times.

who generally listens or understands better than yourself?
People who say that it's crazy to talk to one's self are um...stupid....Not to be mean, well yes to be mean since I'm sick of people always telling other people that the harmless things they do that make them happy are stupid.
it's stupid to smoke
stupid to drink and drive
stupid to start bar fights
stupid to buy phone books in bulk
But it's not stupid to talk to yourself and or answer questions. hell it usually helps me keep on track with my life

ye ppl/society tend to label what's normal and what's crazy but who really knows?

do ra me fa so la te do
te la so fa me ra do

it never ends this conversation in my head

I got few of Zlee's in my head and we talk with each other almost continously, and I don't consider myself crazy at all because of doing that, and not only that I don't consider myself (and other people who do that) crazy because of that, but I even think that we who talk with ourselves are mentally above the people that don't! Why? Because if you can put yourself in position of another man and see and judge your actions from a different point of view you'll create far more objective opinion about your actions and yourself than the people who can see themselves only from position of themselves.

perhaps or perhaps those voices tell us what we wish to hear in the guise of other things

Or its just that good feeling that u hear some voice...not just total silence.
It may keep u feel safer and not so alone in some situations

yeah well for me is normal... but i was diagnosed with insanity so ......

ok ok .. enough of the insane psychobabble...
ms lefaye, can't you find something else to do with your time rather then post back to back in threads?
