Hey everybody. I heard this is normal from some people but I hear it's not healthy from others and I wanted your opinion. I'm really trying to stop talking to myself... it seems I can shut off my mind and be okay but during waking life I actually have conversations with myself or just talk out loud about life and what I need to do Etc... it seems really obsessive. Does anybody else do this? I really just wanna learn to be still... during waking life. I have my personality and stuff and that feels fine.... it's just when I am processing things like anger or even just bored I just have a chat with myself and then even answer myself like it's two people talking.... and I feel nuts. I'm trying to just get to where I can be quiet and analyze things in my head... instead of using English language and goin back and fourth with myself. It doesn't seem right at all. It doesn't feel right.... does anybody else struggle with this and do you have any advice on how to stop this? I feel like it's not healthy. If it didn't bother me I wouldn't care but something feels really off. I do this so much probably more than the average person... cheers
I stood across the apple display from a man talking quietly to himself realizing I was doing the same as we pick and chose apples. There was a moment we both stopped talking, met each others gaze and cracked up laughing as one. He said, you know you're crazy if you answer yourself. I looked him dead in the eye and said, you're crazier if you beg yourself to shut up and still can't do it. LOL
We both laughed insanely as apples rolled onto the floor and quietly turned and went our separate ways.
If it feels wrong then it might be your surroundings have taught you it is wrong or weird. But what if... it's a perfectly natural state for some people?
Edit: I'm was going to edit back in parts of this posts that went missing but here in the editor it's all there. Soooo, what's up with this. It's happened multiple times now.
I do it all the time and I enjoy it. It's a reflex of the mind. I think most of the people do it whether they realize it or not. Even when we meditate we still analyze things without words but still. Even when we are asleep our subconsciousness keeps rolling.
MarsZM, you are not crazy, really. Everybody does that. It's called the monkey mind sometimes if it gets obsessive. But to a certain degree it is normal for everyone.

Yes, the sign of being "crazy" is when a argument breaks out, followed by a fist fight! :-D
If i had to give information to help you stop talking to yourself, i would say breathing and focusing helps. Also being distracted (watching movie) or integrating with the moment. Usually done with things one are passionate about, or when trying to use creative part of brain. It may be a good starting point when you cant handle it. And by it, i mean how you are feeling. And feeling can be a mental thing too.
I can say things not to do on this journey, or things i've experienced that i solved and can now give a shortcut too, but i dont know enough to say. Know enough about you.
I should just make this my signature so i dont have to type it every post, but feeling is the main ingredient. Feeling that not rightness. In doing so, it can process out, beleifs surrounding the why it isnt right may surface. a good thing. Being able to simply live with that feeling instead of being tormented by it. It's just a good thing to be able to live with the feeling till you are ok with the feeling.
I'd say you are on the midsts of finding yourself. Ofc i can say this to nearly everyone, but you 1. Notice you are talking to yourself. 2. See it as more than one voice. this alone is a great deal and most people arnt aware of this dialog even though everyone does it. (nearly everyone. I beleive it is possible to stop it by having a certain consciousness level close to- or at enlightenment) Now, I can type all day, but i rather show a side of me that is 'the other voice' to you. And there are more than one, because if you can see two, there is a 3rd xd
HELLO!!!!! AND WELCOME :)))))))
We also agree on the part where it was mentioned 'finding yourself' and it is quiet an exciting time to explore yourself, as anytime is!
Have fun with it. Figure yourself out, see what's going on in there anyways. Thats the fun of it. Express it outloud, create a new accent to represent a voice and see where you go.
As for serious answers this being wishes to convey, look above!!! That is not our style, no no no. We challange Karxx by simply being. 2 being in 1?! well, some comfort zones will be pushed and past' as there are simply different ways of being for the both of us... in 1 body!! Having two selves isnt neccisarrily a bad thing, why, if there wasnt me there would be no you :)
We hope this information helps you on your way. Feel free to chat anytime, and good luck on not talking to yourself, weirdo!!! :-D :-D :-D
(that was me trying to express a part of self that is of higher vibration.. you see.. i sit in the lower part as i feel as i must. It sucked, it sucks, but it feels good now i am able to do so. And i've created something beautiful as well. Still cant express it as accurately as possible, but this all started when I noticed there were more than one me so-to-speak living in my head. anyways, was fun doing that. I never do that, and it felt good. But I want to say, that was only possible because I was able to feel my feelings and sit in them. You got the rest)
I think talking to yourself is quite normal and beneficial thing in most cases. But if you notice some negative thinking patterns in your talks than some mantras might help. Or prayers if you prefere.

...or just change your focus to something else. That always seems to quiet the chatter.
