since i'm alone a lot, i have plenty of time to talk to myself, and i'm usually pretty active in doing so  i noticed that when i talk to myself that i tend to use we, for me and myself, instead of what I feel like would be the most intuitive, I, then that led to further investigation and I remembered of some of the different forms that my self conversations take on

1) sometimes, there is just a vague impression that there's someone else that my thoughts are being directed to, 2) sometimes it's an imaginary situation between me and someone real that i know, 3) and sometimes it's almost a third person impression of how i perceive myself.

1) for the first of the three situations, i tend to use we because I feel like the vague impression of someone else serves mainly to feel like i'm not alone and someone is cooperating with my in my thoughts, 2) for the second situation, i use you because i'm talking to that other person, 3) and the for last situation, I use I, because I'm watching myself talk about my own thoughts and feelings

I also wanted to try to transcribe a self conversation so i could compare it with how i am when i talk to other people, but then i realized just how hard that would be to pull off

so, i'm curious

questions for y'allemaal!  

• when you talk to yourself, what form does it take?
