My mom thinks so because she said that people will think I'm crazy and she's thinking I should see a docter.Can you belive that? I mean i've been talking to myself since I was 6 and my grandma says I used to talk to flowers so I don't see anything wrong with asking yourself questions and answering them yourself and naming the person you talk to friend when it's really you *sighs* Even my sister says i'm crazy.But I'm not right? Or am I? I'm not sure anymore.So can anyone tell if it's wrong? "How do you prove that you exist? maybe we don't exist."

i dont think your crazy. people who talk to themselves often are not the majority, but they are not sick either. talking to voices in your head is a sign of schizophrenia, which is a dangerous mental condition. if it feels like the friend is no longer "you" but a separate person, you should tell your mom right away. being different is fine! talking to yourself is fine! i mutter to myself in japanese all the time, keeps me in practice. the fact that you understand why people are worried, and are asking the right questions, says to me that you are NOT crazy.

I have schizophrenia?I mean my friend always says that she's the only one that can help me and that I only need her nobody else I always tell my friend problems that I could'nt tell anyone else I believe she's the only best friend I have that won't tell my secrets,but the question is that I don't know why i've talked to her all these years I don't know how she came to be I barely remember.I'm not sure why I made her but I do know that I don't want her to go away!She's my only friend!

| talking to yourself is actually something we're ALL guilty of doing. It's a lot more appearant in children, it's easier to accept. I think that when we do it, we reassure ourselves of our confidence. Dont you often find yourself asking "why did i do that?" or ya know, something like that. But lemme ask, are you having a CONVERSATION with yourself or are you just making comments and talking out loud, cuz there is a difference. But ya know what, either way, I see it as a good thing. :) |

Me and my friend talk with one another everyday even in school but we have to speak in my mind because we don't want people to hear us.I hate doing that but she says it's for the best.

Theres nothing wrong in talking to yor self but just dont do it in public. Most people who r really crazy will talk to themselfs so u really cant blame people for thinging theres something wrong with u. I think u r just unique. Continue doing what u like but dont do it in the open or talk in yor mind would be ok. Well at least this r only what i think is ok and i m just suggesting anyway. |

There was this girl that started a rumour saying I was crazy because she heard me talking to myself while I was in the restroom but noone believed her.My friend told me to curse her life and make her life a living nightmare and to make sure that she would lose everything even her friends so that is exactly what I did and my mom has scheduled me to see a doctor next month on Tuesday May 10 I won't let him take friend away no matter what!*sighs* I just wished that my mom could see that having conversations with yourself is normal.

well the thing is... a true friend would not think of endangering you. in your case, your friend told you to curse that girl for life and blah blah... and that is not a good thing because that will get you in trouble. on the other hand, talking to one's self is no problem. but maybe you do have schizophrenia... the way i see how you have this friend in your head. do not worry. i am sure it is no big deal.... or is it.. have a nice day. wait... maybe that friend of yours is your alter ego.

i talk to myself all the time when i'm alone... "proud of my loneliness" (look up the song title XD ) but anyway, when i'm working on computer animation projects for school or for fun, i always talk to myself so that i know where i'm going. besides, as a race, we humans seem to need some background noise in order to work. Silence is difficult for us to accept, so when there is no other sound, we resort to using our own voice. seems perfectly normal.
I live without anger, fear, or sorrow. I am stronger because of that, even with this cold heart.

I don't care if my friend is bad or good I made her that way and that's the way she'll be,but perhaps I made her because I was lonely.I was always by myself as a kid when my mom and dad were at work,my bro and sis at school I stayed with my grandma but I always went outside though I never played.When my grandmas' dog had puppies I was so happy I played with them every day,but when they were stolen I was alone.I had made my first friend once but she could'nt come over so we talked through the fence every chance we got,but then she moved away and I was alone again.When my cousins came over my bro and sis always went with them to the school I couldn't go with them but I tried but they ran ahead of me and I couldn't catch up so I ended up falling on the grass and crying I was alone again.When I look back and think I realized I was always alone but when friend came I had someone so that made me happy.But then I begin to wonder if friend went away would I be alone again?In the future I fear that I'll never have a family but i'd always be alone.I see myself getting a job but a family I don't think I'll ever have one.My friend tells me that the present is more important than the future because you may never have a future is that true?I can't even think straight right now I'm really sick I threw up in the classroom on the desk and in the hallway sounds gross right?Well you don't have full control of your body sometimes.

don't worry. i am certain you will be alright. sometimes, though, you have to learn how to get used to being alone. in the end, you will rely on no one else but yourself. -tell me who your friends are and i'll tell you who you are- heard of that quote? that is why you should, as much as possible, be in good company so you will be influenced to think and do good too. but if you are in bad company, you will get the opposite of what i said earlier. though it is hard, you will get through it. find something you can do that will keep you busy. that way, you will have little or no time left to think about how lonely you are. then you will be happy. being alone does not necessarily mean that you are automatically bound to loneliness. you know what they say... -life is what you make it- -life is too short to make it look like s**t- so it is all up to you. you can choose to be happy, even if you are alone.

your not the only one who talks to themselves... i do it all the time, but that is only because of 2 reasons... well i guess maybe excuses but it all depends on how ya look at em. 1) I usually find myself all alone, most ppl dont like me that much so they dont take the time to get to know the real me, it gets very upsetting at times and i need someone to talk to and it's usually myself 2) I really just enjoy listening to smart people talk

I stopped talking in second grade after what friend told me.In kinder I had made a friend,but in order to be her friend I had to do what she did even eat what she ate but I didn't pay much attention to it I just thought that's what friends did.In first grade a new girl came along and she became our friend but before I knew it she became our leader and us her minions.We followed her around the school because she told us to,Then my friend began to change.She would only talk to the leader,and play with her and she back,but I never did or said anything I never got a chance to,I only watched as they played and listened while they talked.When I tried to tell them something that happened my so called friend looked at me and told me "So" It may mean nothing to some people but it meant everything to me.I felt unwanted,I didn't understand when friend told me "See.What's the point of having a friend if they'll turn their back on you." "what's the point of talking if noone's gonna listen to you."When I asked my sister what they meant she explained it to me in a way I could understand.I ended up crying in the restroom and told noone about it.When we moved away I swore to never say a word,never make friends and to trust noone no matter how nice they seemed.Friend said I only needed her and only her.I still don't talk and kids think I'm mute so they call me....Mute.

listen im not gonna say the exact same thing happened to me... but i have gone through a similar experience which pretty much leads up to my only talking to myself. i never had one single true, honest friend all the way through 5th grade, i was always alone and i was always harassed by the jocks at my school, they taunted, teased, and abused me. everyday i was in fear because i knew i was going to be hurt. physically i was shaken, emotionally i was shattered. i would be pinned to the ground and punched till i bleed or pinned against a wall and beaten till i couldnt breath. i had blacked out from the pain on several occasions, and had to be hospitalized. i nearly commited suicide because i couldn't stand it anymore! i wanted to die, i wanted them all to suffer! i hated everyone and everything, i wondered what did i do to make them hate me? why do i have to suffer at their hands? and why wont anyone help me? its because of these incidents that i very seldom ever make contact with a person or look them in the eyes. im scared that i will be hurt. and because of my ways i dont have very many friends either, and i dont trust anyone at all... to my imediate knowledge and concern. they can all rot

I can't say that i've been beaten,but I have been sexually harrassed. Since I never spoke I guess they thought I wouldn't say anything about what they did.When I was in the girl's restroom this girl came and shoved me against the wall and began to fondle my breast,I was able to break away and run out of there I didn't tell anyone about it.When I was walking down the hall this guy grabbed me and placed his lips on mine and shoved his tongue in my mouth I pushed him away and ran to my next class while rubbing my mouth to get rid of the feeling.The last straw was when I was walking down the hall to deliver a message everyone was in their classroom,I didn't feel him behind me until he grabbed my arm,spun me around and forcefully placed his lips on mine,he shoved me against the wall and began touching me in places I don't want to say,I did the only thing I could I kicked him in his part and ran to the closest classroom and I told the teacher everything that happened.My mother was horrified and my father was furious when I told them every incident that happened.The school found it a very serious case,but my mother didn't press charges against the two kids,instead they were expelled and never allowed to come back.I refused to go back to that school so we ended up moving in a different part of town and I ended up attending another school.From then on I never forgave anyone who has done wrong to me,I cursed their lives so they could lose everything,I wanted them to pay for their crimes and that was the only way I saw they could pay.But this side of me that I never knew existed asked me two questions I didn't know how to answer "Do you really want them to suffer?" "If it was your family that wronged you,Would you want them to suffer too?" When those questions popped into my head I didn't have an answer for them.

It seems to me that everyone here is bypassing what Memory is actually saying in (her?) posts. This is either a strange hoax,not unlikely, or something may be wrong. Memory if your friend is telling you to hurt others then it is not a very good friend. You do have people here you can talk to.If you really do have a friend in your head then I believe you should talk to a doctor about it.  |
