When I’m tired, I often notice I can “Speak” With my self. It works like an association game: I think of a phrase (“Where is the party today?” For example), and get myself answering to it with another phrase (such as: “At yada’s house”)
Is this happening to others around?
yes this has happened to me like twice, but i don’t mean do it, it just happens! 
Yup, I have it happen. There is actually a technique that requires you to talk to yourself. It’s called CALD, you create a character to talk to and you make them respond or it comes naturally, like a normal conversation with somebody else.
Hahaha, That’s perfectly normal-- It’s just internal dialogue…
But hey, Kt, that’s not quite CALD-- Cald involves characters ^^~
Everybody has done it at some point. All my buddies I ask have internal dialogue-- it’s just a way of thinking XD I don’t think enough is known about the mind to make a norm… but at the very least, this isn’t uncommon :P~
The “chatterbox” inside my mind goes on constantly… seriously I feel so happy when I get a break from it. It sounds like you are experiencing the internal/inner dialogue that many people do (in fact I’d say it’s very common)… but if it annoys you (like it does me sometimes) I find it to be a good idea to distract yourself, from yourself 
. A good example of how to do that could be to listen to music.
I do it so often I sometimes forget whether it actually happened (I usually involve other people from life in my conversations) For some reason, I think it makes my DC’s more complex 
XD Yesyes~ Audio thought, 
Alot of my more introvert-y friends have quite a bit of audio thought (Not to be confused with audio hallucination).
I agree with NeoMarine, though, escaping from constant audio thought can be as easy as sinking into music or delving into the visual world…
^^~ I often express to my friends just how continuous it is for me to be thinking, but when i do, I rarely find that it is the same for them-- is it so common to have more peace than clutter?
And for that matter-- does anyone else find themselves reviewing conversations with others afterwards, or predicting and playing out possible future conversations? XD I am not sure if that is what youère talking about, que5c…
:3~

I talk to myself all the time. In fact I am very bad at thinking in my head. Usually when I talk to myself I am “Rehearsing” what I would say or do in a situation but most of the time I never say it. Also, many times I give myself answers that I would have not thought of if the person did not tell me it (in my head). Since I’m rally empathetic my versons of how they would react are suprizingly accurate.
That’s pretty cool! XD I’m only fairly accurate when I know the person well enough…
I don’t attach much to my guessed reactions, though… And I usually follow through with what I say in the one I think of, if the scene is going along with what I guessed.
Erm-- :C XD That came out pretty much incohesive XD
I thought I was the only empath here.
Furthermore, I talk to myself alot too… myself and the two equalizations of my personality.
empath ?
I talk to myself a lot , usually at the worst moments … but worse is making weird noises to myself out of bored mind …
XD I think, LD4ALL attracts quite the range of people! XD It’s very enjoyable to revel in the many different mind-paths people seem to have, their tendencies and routines…
Systems of which they use to think! XD
It’s all very enjoyable X3~

indeed … but mostly the kind of more inward oriented , contemplative (ok, we have also a whole bunch of others here but its not the general rule …)
@the Big K what did you mean with empath ??!?!?!!
“Empathetic”. Alternateley “Empathic”. and an “Empath” is someone possesing a great Empathic ability, such as T.E.M and myself.
Wow, I didn’t know it was normal! (BTW, is ‘didn’t know’ correct, or should it be ‘didn’t knew’?)
Either that or we are all crazy.
Anyway, I have that too. I often prepare “flowcharts” in my mind, of actions: that is, how will I act if X will happen, and how will I if Y will.
I don’t think that I am accurate as I could, because I am usually too optimistic too emphatize enough. Even though Sometimes I do feel like others I know (That is, I get insulted when I think they are, even if they don’t show it)
You have played conversation in your head, as you are saying. But do you do that when you talk? I find myself only able to do that when I am a bit tired or am not hanging with my friends.
i did a quick reference and the word “Empath” could not be found in the english dictionary.
is it of another language?
Empathic abilities are the abilities to feel someone else’s feelings (Or to feel that you feel someone else’s feelings)
For example, if a friend tells you that they fell and broke their hand, and you can feel the pain even though you have never broken your hand, you can feel empathy.
I talk to myself ALL of the time. (Both internally and externally.) I also talk to things and animals even though I know they can’t talk back. I sort of plan out events in my head, conversations, people’s reactions, (and I’m usually right, 
) just random things. I don’t mind it so much, it’s just annoying if I’m talking out loud about random stuff and I don’t realize it.
Interesting… So you actually are aware to SC ways of thinking…
i’m the same way, though secretive about it
though i am sometimes secretive about internal conversations
i have my conspiracy theories about mind reading!
sad part is i’m only half joking
