How do you stop talking to yourself? It's a very strong bad habit I have.?
Answer:
I talk to myself sometimes too, it's just nerves and anxiety, but if you tell yourself to quit it, and you don't, then don't feel embarrassed about going and seeing a psychotherapist. It's really nice to talk to someone who really wants to listen, once every week.
it also happens to me all the times
i talk to myself with people around.
my solution is.
i just keep my mouth close and talk to myself
inside my mind. and relax.
Who are you asking... I don't want to interrupt a private conversation.
when you go to school well its su mmer now but try to have a jawbreaker handy to get you out of the habit. and when you catch yourself talking aloud just stop.
bud ,
I still do that , although after a few years of combating it , I got it down to just doing it to myself when no one is around . It's a form of a.d.h.d. Too many things going through your mind at once , you can't process it all with your brain so your thoughts transmute into words and a good portion of the time it's nonsensical words/phrases from you conscious/sub conscious .
It's just an ongoing battle . I refuse to take pills , but eventually you start to overcome once you realize the problem and slowly set goals for yourself , One fell swoop doesn't work .
Theres nothing wrong with talking to yourself, lots of people do it! There isn't really any kind of "cure"
Just keep asking yourself, "Huh? What did you say?" Maybe you'll get so mad at yourself you won't talk to yourself anymore.
Think the thoughts that you are talking but dont actually speak them in an audible voice. Get in the habit of arranging things logically and orderly in your mind and you will be able to stop talking to yourself. When you get the urge to talk STOP yourself and relax and begin to think deeply about what you were about to say. Think it out to its utter conclusion. Arrange your thoughts chronologically even. That is, if you are thinking about something you want to do, instead of talking to yourself about it, just think about it and about each step that you will take in accomplishing the thing that you are being tempted to talk out loud about.

You're wise for wanting to stop. The harm is mannifold. When I find myself talking about what I am seeing in my head, I try to just focus on what I am hearing, and what I am feeling in my body, which is way more interesting then the words running through my mind. Keep busy. Stay out of your head at all cost.
You ask a difficult question. There's no doubt you need to stop, it can lead to worse problems. Now if your head begins to shake against your will, this means you've taken it too far, and you've become spiritually ill. If this is the case, e-mail me and I'll tell you what you need to do in detail. If you don't want to e-mail me, here's the quick of it: Pray to the Divine for help in healing.
Good luck.
I always talk to myself but inside my head I dont blurt things out too often, but I often wonder if the insides of other peoples heads are as busy and loud as in mine. I either am singing all day in my head or going over some inner dialect. I think it helps you sort and figure things out easier.
i have that problem! ive gotten caught by total strangers sometimes that ask me if im okay!
Its so embarrasing! i HATE it. But i cant help it, sometimes i think im thinking it, but im really saying it!
People call me a blonde because when i realize im talking their looking at me with a big "?" on their face. and im like: "ohh im sorry did i just say that out loud"
So all i can say is i havent found a solution to it! For most people it can be a habbit or anxiety, nervesnous whatever the case maybe. We are all diffrent in our own special way, and have diffrent reactions to things.
U and me talk to ourselves. i do it CONSTANTLY!
Others bite their nails, or suck their thums...etc etc...ya know.
But hey if ya find a solution give me a heads up will you! i myself cant stand...myself! ha. =]
