I know what you mean.I talk to myself and to the cat.he doesnβt say a lot,just wow and rap,donβt ask,heβs only started βtalkingβ this year.M husband pecks my head about it,but heβs the same.
At least I donβt answer myself back.
I wonβt mention what I say when I get breathless going upstairs..
Hope your day is ok.x
Thanks- you too. Aw that is nice you talk to your cat too. πΎ It must be comforting or something when we like to hear our own voice. π
Yep. βSort yerself out lassβ was uttered just now as I need to get my breakfast (donβt usually have a Yorkshire accent π). Iβve lived alone most of my adult life, so a running commentary isnβt unusual π€ͺ.
If you live on your own as I do you have to talk to yourself otherwise nothing would get done π someone has to tell me to stop sitting on my behind and sort out the cleaning , washing, ironing etc .... or I can just stay quiet and sit here with yet another cup of tea talking to you lot, which is much nicer than housework π I've nothing to say to me at the minute so tea it is ππ
I have to work myself up to attempting the stairs! I try to bring everything down in the morning but there is always something left behind. I also chide myself when I feel down I hear my old dads voice in my head telling me to pull myself together and get on with it! Amazing he has been dead 26 yearsβ¦β¦β¦!
I don't tend to talk to myselfβ¦ yet! I talk to others when driving, my h often says they can't hear you, what's the point?! I do talk to my dog, &, though you may doubt it, she does understand or responds as Iβd expect. Hugs & snuggles when asked & the usual tricks but it's hugs that make the difference. π
Haha, thought it was just me who talked out loud to people (who arenβt actually there) when driving. .. including full blown discussions with my dear mum whoβs been gone 12 years. Been glad to wear a mask so that passing motorists canβt witness my madness πππ
Hahaha that's exactly what I do π€£ & I'm so glad I'm wearing a mask as I've got into the habit of pulling faces when people are rude π not verbally rude just reaching for things across me, or if I move my trolley for someone to pass them not acknowledging it, god help me when masks are no longer worn π π
Oh yes I do. I quite often will say 'Oh you stupid women, look what you've done now!' The big problem with that is that, frequently, my husband hasn't heard the first part of the sentence and retorts 'How come I'm to blame, I wasn't anywhere near it'! I do have a hearing problem but oh, my goodness me, he has a listening one! One friend talking about her husband, referred to it as 'selective hearing loss'! Has anyone else experienced this? Thank goodness for a sense of humour! π Laughing is far better than a barney!
Never used bad language before PMS & RA , but people I know would be horrified if they could hear what I'm saying under my breath when I drop something for the 100th time . Only audible thing I say is for God's sake someone up there must really hate me.π
haha oh yes, have talked to my self since a child. Content varies as you can imagine.These days there's alot of "C'mon girl you can do it" Other times dependent on what I wish to do, includes alot of chastising my hands that no longer function as they should.
As I say my best chats are with myself, no disagreements
Time to worry is when your cat starts talking back.Yes spring is knocking on the door, time to dust of the cobwebs.
It's not always easy to get moving, for some just sitting up is a challenge.
For me it's overcoming pain, so temping just to stay in bed. I work it so when the painkillers take the edge off, it's my time to shine lol
On a good day sitting in the garden with the chickens and yes I do talk to them, all I get back is "Stop talking and give us mealworms ". I've still got pain-free movement in three figures so they are lucky. Even if its only for half an hour it's good to get out.
Inner dialogue is great and sometimes I often give myself a good talking to in the mirror but I do worry when I start having a full blown argument with myself. Nowt wrong with a bit of internal banter π
