talking to myself

I have the bad habit of talking to myself…like whole conversations. It helps me think because I often end up playing devil’s advocate to myself. Thankfully its a habit I’m fully aware of, I’m not crazy; I know I’m talking to myself its not some “other” voice in my head. Its also a habit I usually only exhibit in private.

Isaac has seen this habit though. He thought it was cute. Usually I do it either when I’m really focused or if I’m working on something that is confounding me. Often when he is around it’ll be the location of something like my keys or jacket.

I’ll do it in front of people sometimes when I become unaware of them. Its the same principle for why girls can’t apply mascara without looking like a fish. I become so focused on whatever I’m working on that I don’t realize I’m talking to myself.

I will also do it if I’m home alone so that way I don’t feel so alone. Is that weird?
