I do the same thing. I&#x27;m actually inspired by trying to talk to hypothetical instances of other people. I never did that. I normally talk to myself and to a lesser extent to my past self (when I was younger it would be my future self, but I&#x27;m currently in &#x27;the future&#x27;).<p>If there&#x27;s a real person around I just talk to the real person, and on non-shy days this could easily be a stranger. It could make me annoying, but I also like to listen if it&#x27;s about the same topic.<p>To me this all seems perfectly normal. My reasoning is that by activating more brain areas (i.e. Broca &amp; Wernicke) and preferably also the pre-motor and motor cortices by moving (so walk while talking to yourself), the brain can make more connections to the content you&#x27;re thinking about. That&#x27;s just my hunch though.
