Aside from work, most of the talking I do at home is joking around with my cat. He has no idea what the fuck is going on but I crack myself up and he meows his little heart out like he’s watching John Mulaney
Back when I was single, that happened often during my vacations
I always talk to my cats
I’m highly reclusive, so this happens a lot.
4, because I work partly remote so there have been occasions where I have no reason to leave the house or see another person for four days. I’m introverted so it’s kind of nice, but it’s probably not healthy
Edit: and my dog is not mine: I share custody with my ex (it’s actually her dog) so that’s only half a week
Custody with a dog T-T AND YOU WERNET EVEB MARRIED.
Nah, I talk the most when I am alone.
Do people really not talk to themselfs? They should! It’s not “crazy” if you know there isn’t another person there. But it’s ok to think out loud. It’s even good because sometimes you can hear how you sound and change. I like it and this is a type of self therapy
Yup, I’ve always externalized my thoughts when alone. Got teased for it occasionally when I was caught, but always seemed weird to me that people don’t. One of the many reasons I’m probably on the spectrum, but it’s not causing any harm.
What do you guys talk about?
mostly about how much I hate myself and I’m worthless, but in a casual, non mean way.
Cinematography and geopolitical effects of mountainous terrain rainfall on world building stories. Also making ways of tricking people into reading the book about potatoes.
I’m open to being tricked into reading about potatoes…
I battled severe depression, drug/alcohol abuse/addiction. I was living in the Colorado rockies in the cold mountains with out connection to civilization for weeks on end… im unofficially on rhe spectrum too. I think ive gone a couple days saying nothing, definitely.
I would imagine one would curse a lot in that situation… We are not the same!
No I talk to myself
real
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 C++
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.
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.
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.
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.
Now @BetaBlake is silent because of your “you are not alone”
No because I have a job and leave my house.
Apparently, you don’t own a cat.
Lived alone during COVID.
Went months
Glad I’m not that weirdo. I’ll still talk to my cat.
You lucky BS bastards… And I have to answer the same question to my kid every 5 seconds.
Why?
Because I said so
Why?
shakes vigorously
DADDY! Why?
Do you not cat?
This is why I stopped by. Cat on my friend. PssssPssss
