It's something I've done since I was a little kid. It's not necessarily me having a conversation with myself. I don't ask questions and then answer them. I mostly just verbalize my thoughts into dialogue. It's almost as if I'm saying a monologue to an audience that isn't there. I find it's much easier to organize my thoughts when I do this, but I'm worried that it will interfere with my future. I never seem to do it when people are around because I'm usually preoccupied with something else. But when I'm alone and bored, I often catch myself going on about this and that. There's been plenty times when my parents have caught me, but they've gotten used to it I think. I feel extremely embarrassed when they barge into my bedroom only to find me littering out my thoughts to nobody. If I were to ever get a roommate or a spouse, I'd probably be devastated if they caught me. I don't think it's the result of any "underlying psychological issue", it's just a bad habit where I'm better at expressing myself creatively and organizing my thoughts when I verbalize them. But I would prefer not having this habit seeing it results in some embarrassing situations. Any tips or tricks that could help me break this habit?
