I talk to myself constantly when I'm alone, which I think is normal.
I've recently started talking TO myself, as in having conversations where nobody is responding, but I keep talking.
Am I losing it?

I think I do this too, if I'm interpreting your post correctly. If somebody set up a hidden camera in my room, they would think I'm insane. I whisper, make hand gestures and facial expressions, and even look in particular directions sometimes as if there's somebody there who I'm speaking to. Sometimes I forget that I'm just talking to myself. A common thing that I do Is I pretend that I'm talking to a psychiatrist (probably a coping mechanism or some shit) and I'll start explaining how I sometimes talk to myself, then I have the sudden realization that I'm doing it right now. It's pretty funny actually.

How long do you guys go without speaking to another person?
>>29309099
No dude I do this too.
I pretend to have interviews with reporters as though I'm a famous politician. Sometimes I pretend to be a famous rapper discussion my life or my newest project or some shit. Lastly, I pretend to be having arguments with my gf or a kid that I hate.
I don't really know why. I think I'm an undiagnosed autist.

yea you are, It would basically look like I'm talking to someone out of frame.
I'm talking people I know or an audience and I'm getting replies from them through my imagination.

I talk to people every day for my job plus my family. I'm diagnosed with GAD and PDD but idk if that is related.

At one point, I went an entire semester without speaking to anyone beyond buying/ordering stuff and my parents.

I live at home so I end up talking to my mom at least a little every day out of necessity. Other than that, I tend to avoid speaking to people as much as possible. I never initiate dialogue with other people, so it's common for me to go entire days saying under 30 words (estimate), and usually zero outside of my house. I remember after I got my braces off, I had to do a presentation for school about four or five days later, and when I got up there I discovered that the metal wire they put behind my teeth had given me a lisp. I hadn't spoken enough over the days leading up to the presentation to even realize, so it was a bit of a shocker.
This is me, by the way >>29309223

I do the same, sometimes I pretend to have conversations with others so I can practice.
>>29309249
Longest I've gone is four days
Without having an actual conversation? Two weeks.

Isn't thinking just another way of speaking to yourself?
