    Do you do it?

    I do. Not even a little bit. I do it all the time. I'll have entire conversations with myself. Then I'll look over and notice someones staring at me.

    So when I'm feeling fiesty I'll ham it up for them. Shout "And that's why we can never be lovers!" And run away sobbing. :biggrin:

    I do it a lot on my own (outloud). I hope I don't do it in public (sometimes I catch myself;)).

    They say that is a true sign of insanity. And insanity is bliss!

    In the U.S. you may get stopped by the police for acting in a suspicious manner if you talk to yourself. Even the act of simply walking down a street is now considered suspicious behavior by many.

    A lot of people are talking on bluetooth headsets today which makes it look like they are talking to themselves. So maybe it won't be seen as abnormal as time goes on.

    I guess one could wear a broken bluetooth headset and talk to himself while making it appear he was on the cell phone. :)

    Are we flirting yet?


    My contention is, beyond the crazy, I'm a sweetheart.

    I was having a really rough time a few years ago. my father tried to shoot me, and I sorta flipped out and started binge drinking to deal with it. Not the best option, and when I was most self destructive, I checked myself into the nut house.

    New Years eve '07. I was there for a week. On the second day I was there, I got elected by the other patients to be responsible for leading the evening meetings and making sure everyone was at dinner.

    President. I was elected president of crazy town. :biggrin:

    It was actually a really meaningful and liberating experience.

    Now why would I tell this to someone I want to date? :wink:

    talking to yourself is a different kind of crazy than self-destructive addiction that stems from traumatic circumstances, know what i mean? both are crazy, but conversations with your self aloud, like when you are walking down the street in public, is what makes me nervous. sounds like you have both. congrats.

    I've taken a vow of silence. I shall never speak again.

    Well I'm no longer self destructive or addicted. I got better through the force of my conviction.

    So I'm just the one that makes you nervous. But I know who I am. I'm a good guy who leads a rich interesting life. :biggrin:
