Conversations with yourself...

[Honey_B]

Ok, we've all had them, conversations with ourselves. Some we even keep having over and over again. Like before I posted this thread, I had the following conversation with myself...

Me: It's a stupid idea.

Myself: No its not.

Me: Nobody is going to respond.

Myself: So what.

Here's another I had the other day. Maybe y'all can relate.

Me: Don't do it.

Myself: But I want to.

Me: You'll regret it. Hate yourself in the morning.

Myself: But I want to.

Me: You already too many.

Myself: But I want more.

Me: You are supposed to be controlling yourself.

Myself: But I don't care.

Me: This is insanity!

Myself: But I'm going to do it.

Me: The estimated calorie total has exceeded your ability to compute.

Myself: But I am going to do it anyway.

Me: You're Mrs. Field's whore!

Myself: Don't I know it.

Usually I just tell myself to shut up, because I find out I am annoying the hell out of myself.

 

[T.H. Oughts]

Yep, I sure maybe that we all do it.

But do the people look at you as you walk past the TV too

 

[lobito]

Um, well I was gonna say that I have the first convo, everytime I want to start a thread. But after reading the rest, I think I'm better off stealing a few of your cookies, and running...

 

[Laurel]

I talk aloud to myself. Drives Manu crazy.

 

[Lasz]

I'm a Gemini, so I'm really only taking to my twin

She's the shy demure one that hangs out here some times

Kind of like the chance of you having a hairy ass, lol

 

[Honey_B]

If for some reason I'm not immediately available, I find the dog to be a suitable stand-in.

I do that too!

Me: I look fat in this.

Indy (my super cute puppy dog): I love you more than life itself.

Me: Does this color do funky things to my skin?

Indy: I love you more than life itself.

Me: Maybe if I undid another button...

Indy: I love you more than life itself.

Me: I hope he likes me?

Indy: I love you more than life itself.

Me: Bye, Indy. Be a good boy while I'm gone.

Indy: I wonder if she'll notice if I mark all her shoes.

I prefer to call it "thinking out loud." Sounds less crazy.

Here's how mine goes

Me: Hmmm, I sure do have a problem this time.

My brain: You sure fuckin' do, you moron. Things aren't going to go your way at all, in fact, you know that 'worst outcome' you've thought about, hate to break it to you, but that's the abso-fucking-lutley best possible outcome, that has a lot of things going your way that frankely, I don't see going your way. Why? Cos you're a fucking idiot that's why! Things are going to go catastrophic on your ass and fuck everything up. This is only the beggining, dumbass, everything will come unglued, your dumbass will get only dumber and you'll fail out of school. Your parents will then hate you for wasting all of their money and not let you stay with them so your ass will be out on the streets, homeless. You'll have to beg just to survive and get hassled by the cops regularly until your long painful death when you die old and alone, never having known the touch of a woman. God, what a waste you are.

And then my problem usually ends up to be like nothing, really.

Oh Gawd!

I can't belive you started this thread...

I always talk to myself. But the thing I hate the most is when I'm in the car, at a light, and I'm just going at it, I mean through the whole range of motion! I'm shaking my head, laughing at myself, I mean the whole sha'bang! Then I look over at the car with the two fine ladies just staring at me....

.....I'm a dumbass

Re: Oh Gawd!

That's when you start tapping your fingers on the steering wheel and pretend that you are singing

 

[heterotic]

Yeah, I have vigorous, extended conversations with myself while walking places, then the next day friends who saw me from their cars will say "what was that all about" and I feel pretty silly trying to explain.

 

[JaymesBlond007]

I usually just give the stupid, "damn.....y'all just saw that didn't you?", grin. Makes me look helpless and adorable.

 

[heterotic]

I'll have to try that, see if I can pull it off. Helpless and adorable is good. Slightly nuts is more like it, though.

 

[bobo_daclown]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with talking to yourself--especially aloud. After all, it's not like people are going to look at you funny and think that you are a deranged psychotic nutcase with homicidal tendancies and a borderline personality disorder caused by lack of chocolate that you are being denied by your other more important (and less derogatory) self... Damn. I couldn't make that sentence much longer.

I think it's fun to talk to myself outloud. After all, I usually don't think before I speak (according to my dear father), so, if I talk to myself, the words exit my mouth and enter my ears where they can be dually processed by my brain--once on the left side and once on the right. Then, I can make a decision.

Umm... did I mention that I never actually make a decision in cases such as those described above, because usually, after I spew out the useless coments, my brain shuts down and I begin thinking about something even more trivial.

B'shalom,
Bobo

I was given this advice many years ago and it has helped me a lot.

Listen up (especially you, sd), when negative thoughts come your way, think of your mind as a conveyer belt. The negative thought is sitting there on the belt, riding into your mind. You see it and say, thank you very much. Next. It comes again. Next.

Next.

Next.

 

[Spinaroonie]

That's a really good mindset, Ruby, thanks, I'll remember that

 

[nasty]

Do that all the time. Here's the most recent example

Me-Don't post that thread
Myself-Everyone will understand what I mean.
I-No they won't.


And, so on and so on. I guess I should of listened to "Me."

I really like that explanation. I'm adopting it for my own.

Yup...its working

I am famous for walking around my house repeating words in a fake accent. I'm like a kid, or a total geek, I get pure enjoyment, rolling the syllables around in my mouth.
