My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
Ok, am I just a freak…or do you talk yourself too?
For years I use to watch other people do this in public and would think to myself, “Oh my god, how sad….a mental patient”
Now suddenly, I’ve turned into ONE!
This started happening to me about 7 years ago.
(gee…I wonder if it could have something to do with AGE???)
NOT!
It first began with me just saying a word here and there, but has now turned into a complete conversation I’m having with myself.
And it’s totally embarrassing, because people on the streets and in stores are starting to notice.
I will usually start talking to myself whenever I’m trying to figure something out in my mind and I’m analyzing it. There was a time when I would just “think” something through, however now, I seem to have the insane need to “talk” it through, so I can hear myself say it.
This also happens whenever someone has pissed me off and I’m internally spewing about what I REALLY think of them, as I mumble all sorts of profanity under my breath.
(oh...did I mention I have tourette’s syndrome?)
Anyway, today while I was walking home from the grocery store, I started thinking about this post and what I wanted to say. When suddenly…I starting talking the whole thing through.
You should have seen me….
I’m walking down the street, carrying two huge bags of Trader Joes groceries…TALKING. And it wasn’t just my lips that were moving, either…my entire body got into the conversation. My head was bopping from side to side; my shoulders were moving up and down; even my eyebrows were bouncing on my forehead like Groucho Marx.
(I looked like a marionette puppet)
And a few times I caught people looking at me; smiling sympathetically.
Sometimes when people spot me doing this, I’ll quickly start singing a song, so they’ll think I was just meaning to sing.
(I mean, singing out loud isn’t as weird as TALKING out loud, right?)
Oh, I don’t know…I just think the whole thing is so strange.
However, there is one GOOD thing about talking to yourself…
You're all EARS!
