Do You Make Verbal Observations Out Loud?

I do this because of my health anxiety

I repeat things out loud to try and remember them. People around me tend to say yes you told me.. or I'm not stupid.. and I'll be like I was giving myself an outside reminder so I didn't forget..

this is why I was told “shut up for like two seconds” when I was in school haha

Yup, that’s me like all the time

Hi

I talk to myself all the time! It helps me connect things.

100%, and definitely coworkers have thought I was passive aggressively communicating and I'm like "no I'm just literally so tired it's all I can even think right now"

No I do that too. It kinda just verbally confirms what I’m feeling or thinking. Plus sometimes, it can’t be helped. I’ve said the funniest things out of context lol

I tend to find I verbalise anything I don't want to forget. Writing things down helps to minimise it.

Same x

I absolutely do this. And I make a checklist of things, often annoying my boyfriend. I'll make a list of things I have on my person when we're leaving home so I know I have everything I'm gonna need, I'll make a list of places we need to go when we leave, stuff like that.

yes lollll im so glad wearing a mask is more normal now so people dont see me constantly muttering to myself xD

Yep constantly talking out loud. Even when I'm in public x

Yeah I do the exact same thing

yes i completely get this. or sometimes when i explain things i explain everything in detail, even if they may already know the information to ensure we both fully understand. i also talk out loud through a lot of the things i do, and most people find it incredibly annoying

Yep I definitely do this. My husband thinks I am always indirectly asking him to do something about it and gets annoyed. Nope I dont need that, just acknowledging another thing I need to do and saying it verbally kinda helps me remember to do something about it

I do this all the time!

I have some pretty bad introspection issues so often that to feel the things that are actually happening to me while I'm distracted I have to take a moment to do an internal check list, and sometimes I also don't fully register it all when I do my check list and have to say what's wrong/what i need in order to fix it.

I can definitely relate to that.
