Do you think those who talk to themselves are mentally sick?

It’s a step! Aha I don’t know, it depends on the actual person. Like, I talk to myself sometimes, when I’m working things out in my head or just when I need to really concentrate - not full on hand actions though! So like proper conversations?? That’s pretty strange. It sounds like a step… Keep an eye on him yeah? Maybe two. If he starts licking the windows or eating the curtains then maybe call the men in white coats… Until then, good luck ! :)

Hell no, if that was the case then I would be in a mental institution. I talk to myself all the time because it helps me think.

I hope so mandy that it is not something serious. My son has also the habit of talking to himself and sometimes smiling at the wall. He is a brilliant guy and presently working as a junior scientist.

No, some people talk to themselves when they’re thinking about something. (in order words Soloquizing) Some people do it just out of boredom or loneliness.

Have you ever had a situation when you have to choose something by yourself? Do you argue with yourself to see what you decide? If you do, are you mentally ill? So no people who argue with themselves area not mentally ill

I talk to myself. Am I metally sick? That’s for society to decide. ;)

what??? if thats the case, im the most mentally sick person ever!!! haha jk…everbody i know talks to them self, its just like doing it in your head but actually saying it out loud

Why don’t you ask yourself this question? If your child started talking to themselves at the age of 7, would you think their mentally sick? People should have the freedom to do whatever. It wouldn’t be fair to call them mentally sick, because than you wouldn’t know if they were really mentally sick or not. People have different tastes of doing different things. Some people are insecure and independent and would rather keep themselves entertained by talking to themselves, than to depend on someone else.

No do you think someone who talks to their toaster is?
