    Lately I've been catching myself talking to myslef alot. Like engaging in real conversations as if there was someone in the room with me. Some other times I just talk to myself refering to myslef as 'we'.

    What worries me is that
    1) I find talking to myslef very entertaining, like fun to do, therefore hard to stop.
    2) untill sometime ago I didnt see anything wrong with it, I didnt realize I was doing something strange untill I really started anylizing it.

    It's hard to explain this concept but I' ll try to be as clear as possible; I dont remember how or when it started exactly but untill sometime I ago I thought that talking to myslef was ok as long as I just went with it without thinking too much about it.

    It's not untill I really started thinking about it and about what would ppl would say if they saw me do it, that I realised it's kinda insane.
    I know normal ppl dont talk to theirselves but that doesnt mean I am necessarily insane, abnormal or wierd if I do. that's the way I see it.

    And you know what they say about insanne ppl thinking they are ok and not realizing they are actually insane. Maybe that's what's happenin to me...

    I think could be having somekind of mental disorder going on. maybe it could have something to do with pot? (been a heavy pot smoker for 2 years).
    what do you guys think about this?

    Talk to a mental health care provider if you're worried about it, dude.

    I think that there is nothing wrong with it. No one knows you better than yourself, and you might as well ask yourself for advice on things. :) All you are doing is expressing your internal monologues verbally.

    Unless you're terribly worried, you probably don't even need it checked out. It seems fine to me, because a lot of people just do what you were stating, inside their own head anyway. It doesn't mean you have a split personality, it just means that you work things out better verbally than mentally (I would imagine). Either way, listen to your gut feeling on this one.
