Only when asked

Sort of, a sort of non swearing tourettes. Whenever I recall any memory which triggers a negative emotion (eg mild embarasment at something I did or said), my subconscious blurts out a random phrase, often a complete surprise to me any anyone else in the room who asks what I meant by it, to which I reply absolutely no idea!

That is EXACTLY what I do. It’s almost always when I’m remembering something embarrassing or worrying!

Good to know us crazies aren’t alone eh! 😉

Yep, quite a bit. And usually in front of a mirror. Put on silly voices and just generally talk shite.

Probably more to myself than other people.

It’s nice to talk to yourself. At least that way there’s one person who listens to about half what you have to say.

If I feel like shouting into space I just go on Twitter instead or ask the kids to go to bed.

I was amused a few days ago to hear someone else in my office singing the same stupid little made up song under their breath that I do when I get stuck on something 🙂 – they claimed that it did actually help

To animals.

I do this a lot out riding by myself. Cows, birds, deer, horses, cats, dogs. With dogs especially, owners may be miserable sometimes but their dogs are happy and can be great conversationalists 😀 . Actually, it’s a good way of disarming both dog and potential anti-bike owner.

When things are going tits up I tend to think out loud.

I’m so pleased to find out this is a thing for other people too.

I say things like “oh dear” or “oww” out loud, I can’t control it happening, just what I do when it happens.

Yes. On the bike, on steep hills.

Uncomplimentary encouragement. 🙂

frequently, it’s the internal thought process with the mute accidentally switched off

So, that’s 4 of us, I thought it was something I did.

There must be a name for this kind of ‘mental’. Gets worse when I’ve not been on the bike for a bit.

I do a bit.
I’m not concerned about it.
I might say things like “bloody hell that wind’s getting up” or “right – time for a brew I think.”

I don’t think there’s anything wrong or weird about it.
MINGE!

Walking the dogs at 05:30 I do. I find it the best way to get emotions out or to think problems through. It’s a bit embarrassing when I’m swearing my head off (usually because something’s / someone’s annoyed me at work) and around the corner comes another dog walker. They must think I’m seriously p*ssed off with my dogs.

No. I talk to the dog.

That’s why, when my dog died, we had to get another. Otherwise I’d be mad.

It didn’t help that I was made redundant last year and have since been self-employed. I spend a lot of time on my own doing research and writing. The dog is my colleague and mentor. I check with her when we need a break, chat, walk outside. She often has great theories. I should probably cite her as co-author.
