Eating Oreos at 1:31 AM

[vercetti2021]

Hellooo loves. So I wanna ask. Does anyone talk to themselves to like give themselves the impression someone is listening? Like you know to give yourself company despite you're alone? I always have done this since I was a kid since I've always had issues socializing with other people. I still do, unless thrusted into a situation where I do talk to others. But like, is it a thing someone has from just being alone a lot during childhood and it's merely a thing to cope with loneliness? Like I kinda came to that realization this morning that no one is really listening, so why bother? It's weird just being silent.

Anyways, oreos. Yay.

1. I talk to myself sometimes.

I too am alone much of the time, especially because of the pandemic. And it’s funny you mentioned Oreos because I just polished off a row a few minutes ago.

2. But is it normal?

Like I pretend someone is listening when I know no one is? But I keep doing it. I have oreos and watching Tales from the Crypt. Might as well relive some childhood memories.

3. I don't think it's abnormal.

If it is then lock me up. How did you manage to find Tales from the Crypt, if you don’t mind me asking?

5. This is a thing

Self dialogue. Certain people do it all the time. About a month ago some articles came out about this phenomena. I will try to post them tomorrow. Has nothing to do with being alone.

I run my mouth talking to myself all the time. I mean really, it is constant. I think it’s a way of thinking things through, although I never really say anything erudite to myself.

Lonely? No. I have about four people I talk with regularly.

I talk to animals, as I think most people do. But I talk to my plants all the time. Today I told some mushrooms how totally adorable I thought they were.

I told a library book that was overdue that I felt bad it hadn’t been able to visit other homes, but that it was so interesting I wanted it to stay with me a while longer.

People on the street while I’m driving in my car: I saw this little old guy who had to be about 85 going like a bat out of hell on a scooter and I said well aren’t you something?

That sort of thing.

6. I guess that's accurate

I just talk like someone is here. I'm lonely and I'm just kinda tired of it. But it's how I prefer it since no one cares for my company.

7. I usually conduct my self-communication quietly in my mind. I don't know if you talk to your

oreos but I'd be more concerned if your oreos talk to you! I do support everyone's right to
self-communicate quietly or out loud and to hold conversations with the snack/food items of their choice.

And yes, many people keep pets to keep from being lonely and that's something you could do.

9. I read, a long time ago

that talking to yourself is a sign of intelligence. I like that. I also talk to my cats and dogs.

I have chips ahoy.

[vercetti2021]

10. Really?

That is awesome! And chips ahoy are delicious

[Corgigal]

11. I really did,

Awhile back. Let’s not research it but enjoy our cookies.

[vercetti2021]

12. Yes

Well I did many hours ago lol

13. Not only do I talk to myself

I crack myself up.

And then later I get mad at myself for not remembering what hilarious thing I said earlier.

If I had written some of this stuff down I mighta sold a book!

Don't be ridiculous, you wouldn'ta sold shit.

You don't know! I mighta!

You're already tired of reading this - why do think anyone else would want to read it?

shut up.
