    That would never be me. I’m constantly talking to myself. People think I’m crazy, but I think I’m just bursting with ideas!

      It would be me, except I swear a lot under my breath when I run into problems with software or things. In two languages simultaneously, even.

          English and a language that’s highly inflective and flexible. So I can’t decide if it’s worse than C++, but that still seems unlikely.

          The upside is that a handful of swearword roots produce a vast array of actual meanings. And, we have compound swearings too! Stuff like ‘ballscockwhore cuntfuck’ is entirely possible, with shades of meaning even.

          I had to give up talking via swearing at a previous job, because I realized I had trouble coming up with regular words for the things I meant.

      I get lots of questioning looks in the grocery stores cause I didn’t make a list and have to tell myself, audible, that I didn’t need the cookies.

      Yeah I talk to myself and my cat way too much, I actually talk more when I’m alone than I do when someone else is around.

      Dude you’re not alone, talk to myself all the time. When I am caught I just tell people I was needing an expert opinion. Its gets a good laugh and people don’t think I’m crazy. Agatha Christina would play out the dialog in her novels to herself outloud. Most people with an active imagination does this.
