It's it normal to talk to yourself in your head all the time?

    I think that as long as you do not start having conversations and answering yourself back out loud, its all good.

    I suppose it's all cool unless the voices start developing accents from different countries.... so far, so good.

    Wait, so you are saying Svetlana is weird?

    Is it just one voice, or all of them?

    I often have a good chat to myself, especially walking home from work or when going for a run.

    It's better than 99.9% of the conversations I've had outside my head over the past 60-some years. B)

    Yes, it's normal. It's only when you start arguing with yourself where you can be overheard that you might need to worry. Apparently that one isn't as normal.

    Now then, if you start hearing the voices of other people in your head, you might want to seek professional help.

    Sub-vocalizing when you read is normal, too.

    I talk to myself in my head all the time. I've even given labels to the various voices in there.

    No names yet though, that would just be weird. :|

    That's the only one with an accent

    All the voices in my head took a vote... we agree you are a-ok.

    I don't believe there is such a thing as normal. We're all crazy in our own way. Split personality disorder is a thing though. So I'd be concerned with hearing multiple voices especially with their own personalities/names.

    That being said, i have inner dialog in my head all the time. Not sure if it's good or bad. I try to Meditate to learn to silence my mind but it don't practice it nearly as much as I should

    Sure hope it's "normal", I talk to myself all the time...often aloud too.

    When typing or writing numbers I always say them aloud because I have a tendency to reverse them and not notice.

    On very rare occasions I hear voices...they usually call my name and it sounds so realistic, clear as day, but I'm alone. Usually happens when I falling asleep. Once I heard someone singing - opera or something, it was very quick and short lived.
