How do we know you are not talking to us? I despise loud people, and; anyone who yells had best not talk to me. I refuse to listen to loud men. Why should I tolerate a loud mouth women?

I don't do this myself but my brother and I share a house, and he does it daily. At first, I was always asking "what?" to hear him say, "just talking to myself". I suppose it may be healthy but it is disturbing to witness. I talk to myself all the time but internally. I tend to think most rational people do in a way. Still, it's not the same as a dialogue like some sound. Maybe trying to perfect a statement I plan to make, or a question I want to ask. But talking outloud to yourself as if you're venting to someone listening? Disturbing. I had to look into this. I don’t do this myself but my brother and I share a house, and he does it daily.

I snickered and nearly LOL'd. (It's late, or I probably would have had the energy to actually LOL!) I'll put this in my Keli's Greatest Hits folder! (It's growing!) In these past few years, I've had a harder time distinguishing self-talkers from bluetooth-earpiece-cellphone-talkers. Sometimes I think they are schizos, talking to imaginary people, with hand gestures and everything, but then I see the earpiece. Funny! We have an autistic son. He talks to himself all the time. The content of his self talk is pretty sad. But he has a great excuse. When I hear people like the grocery store person you described, it scares me. Who knows what a crazy stuper might do! The content and context of the self talk make all the difference. Keli, this post was hilarious! I snickered and nearly LOL’d. (It’s late, or I probably would have had the energy to actually LOL!)

Nothing strange there. Once, however, I heard two voices coming from the kitchen. This was strange as I knew the others had popped out to the shop. She was alone! Wow. Odd.

Then I would not be required to overhear the words that come from their dark souls and small minds. I however may take up the fine art of speaking to myself in public as a form of intelligent discourse. Oh, here I go getting started again. I think your posts on the stupers (can you coin a word for people who are narrow minded and stupid enough to think that the rest of us want to hear their bile. I appreciate your posts that remind me that stupers come in all shapes , sizes, and locations. Keep speaking the words Keli. O.

Poco doesn't mind me talking either ;-) You said a mouthful here Keli "keeping the mouth closed and the mind open," should be made into a bumper sticker or repeated every single day! So many people have closed minds and often the loudest when expressing their opinions, or trying to shove it down the throat of the poor recipient.

Actually it relaxes me. I do this at home. At public places I only talk in my head. Sometimes I notice people talking out loud who I think are stupers, but then I realize they are talking on the cell phone. I talk to myself all the time, quietly. Actually it relaxes me.
