I talk to myself, both on and off the job. I've overheard many of my colleagues doing the same.

Do you talk to yourself? If so, what are the topics of conversation?

I talk to myself a lot. It is usually just me thinking out loud. I feel like I focus better hearing it rather than just thinking it.

Constantly. Sometimes in my head, sometimes out loud. Some say i'm crazy, some say i ain't.

Out loud? Heck NO. I work in psych. But inside my head all the ever loving time. :D

Yes, out loud. I will make a joking comment if someone overhears me but I don't stop:) definitely keeps me organized.

I suppose that's the good thing about working with babies, I can jabber away and just pretend I'm talking to them :whistling:

I wish I could say, "Yes", but if only you mean silently in my head...then I can say a resounding, "Yes!" lol

I mumble more. Thinking out loud. Helps me process things when I actually have the time to think about it.

I've been pleasantly surprised during clinicals to have encountered a few nurses that talk to themselves :) Makes me feel like I'm not alone!
