How many people talk to themselves? Especially when you are angry at someone!
I find my self having a argument with them when they are not even in the room… Is it just me?
Nope its not just you,
Lighter side: wait til you are married 20+ years you will wish those quiet head arguments were the only ones

Me1: Oh cool ! They keep the bogeyman away!

Me1: That just means the squirrel dragon team did their job.
Me2: There is no team and no bogeyman!
Me1: Then whats that sound?
Me2: The dryer

The squirrels flying the dragon…you have it backwards Kristy.
Me 1: So, do we think today or just sit?
Me 2: Let’s just see how it goes.
Me 1: Ah, let’s .
Me 2: Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Me 1: Hey, there’s a squirrel
Me 2: Stop thinking. Just look.
Me 1: For what?
Me 2: What do you see?
Me 1: I told you - a squirrel.
Me 2: But what do you see?
Me 1: Someone curious about me.
Me 2: How do you know?
Me 1: He still looks at me.
Me 2: And…
Me 1: Well, I’m looking at him.
Me 2: And?
Me 1: He mirrors me.
Me 2: You mean he completes you?
Me 1: No, he shows me me.
Me 2: Don’t be silly - he’s a squirrel.
Me 1: So what - he’s fascinated by me.
Me 2: How do you know?
Me 1: He looks at me - I look at him.
Me 2: So?
Me 1: We’re the same
Me 2: How?
Me 1: We share a common bond
Me 2: Really now?
Me 1: Yes, were in a moment together
Me 2: Is that so important?
Me 1: Are you kidding? It’s meaningful.
Me 2: Yeah sure it is.
Me 1: Stop stereotyping.
Me 2: But he’s only a squirrel!
Me 1: And he knows when to gather in his nuts. Do you?
Me 2: Maybe if I watch him, I’ll learn?
Me 1: Is that so funny?
Me 2: What’s his name?
Me 1: It’s Marcus Aurelius.
Me 2: Who?
Me 1: You know, that stoic dude, the philosopher
Me 2: A squirrel can’t be stoic.
Me 1: A squirrel is stoic… you know it’s in their nature.
Me 2: I don’t believe you.
Me 1: Don’t believe! Find out for yourself.
Me 2: But how?
Me 1: Watch live and learn.
Me 2: What’s the big thing about squirrels?
Me 1: No squirrel would say that about a human.
Me 2: Why not?
Me 1: Because a squirrel knows better than a human.
Me 2: Humans are better than squirrels.
Me 1: Only the squirrely ones are.
Me 2: Are we squirrely?
Me 1: Oh, I am but you’re afraid to be.
Me 2: No I’m not.
Me 1: Yes you are.
Me 2: Yes I am. Now what?
Me 1: We must become the squirrel.
Me 2: Why?
Me 1: To learn to be and also not to be.
Me 2: But how?
Me 1: Ask him.
Me 2: Hi Marcus, would you like to come and sit with us awhile?
Marcus: Sure I was hoping you’d ask.
Me 1: Hey Marcus…
Me 2: Please, take a moment…
Me 1: Oh I forgot
Me 2: That’s okay. Hi Marcus
No, no, no, it isn’t just you. I’m terrible for this. And yes, especially when I’m angry.
My wife makes fun of me for this. I get lost in thought when I do menial tasks like washing the dishes, and my wife gets a kick out of watching me because she’ll catch me mouthing something to myself. I’ll see her laughing and then realize what I was doing.
Strange that you should feel uncomfortable silence with yourself though.
PS - At one point I had about 5 personalities. Right now I’m kind of a goopy brown blob.
Maybe uncomfortable silence is sometimes just too much pent up enery.
I like the fact that you’re a goopy brown blob. More capable of being formed or transformed.
There’s much consciousness in that goop.
Incredible self control Hobbes.
I end up talking to myself through out the day, there are no humans around to bounce ideas and thoughts off of. Have a mini horse look at you while you are talking to yourself about him. Pure entertainment for the horse or dog or cat. I end up being different sides in discussions. It sure helps being able to do it.
Exactly. I now move as one.
Before I was an array of colors, always trying to analyze myself into so many personalities, but now I try to live as a whole.
the silence is not inherently uncomfortable thats just society (i think?) but i do find that if the silence seems sharp dont always be the one to dull the edge with blabber and motions we can learn and grow in those silent'akward’ moments
If your boss is silent, you might be better off being silent too, unless they are waiting for you to answer.
Of course people talk to themselves. In fact, if it wasn’t for all those cctv cameras and social mores, you wouldn’t even be asking that question because you’d SEE them talking to themselves as they walk down the street etc, etc. The more interesting question is: WHO are you talking to? See all those people you get in your dreams, your parents, friends, colleagues, tv personalities etc, they all DO actually inhabit your head. That’s why they’re in your dreams. And they are not dead memories but voices that affect you but you do not hear consciously. So WHO are you talking to?
You dragon.
