<p>Do you talk to yourself in the second person, like "you better do this," or in the first person, like "I better do this?" Or even the third person, "he/she (me) better do this?" </p>
<p>When I was little I always talked to myself in the first person. Always. Now I mostly use second person, but sometimes first. My mom thinks I'm crazy for even thinking about this... ;)</p>
<p>Only time I really talk to myself is when trying to reason out an argument. It’s easier to play both sides when you give each side a different “voice”.</p>
<p>I’ve never really thought about it, but I guess first person.</p>
<p>depends what I’m doing. When I’m talking to myself it’s usually in story form and I take the role of different characters</p>
<p>I always go like “I really don’t think that will…” or “I know for a fact that…” “It seems like…” that’s the best way to do it. You can spatially set things out by doing that</p>
<p>I use second person and first person interchangeably.</p>
<p>It’s split when I argue with myself. The side that opposes whatever I’m doing/choosing/etc says “you” and the side that agrees says “I.” </p>
<p>(BTW, I love how this topic was “How do you talk to yourself?” and not “Do you talk to yourself?” Only on CC…)</p>
<p>Rixs: I do the same thing, haha. I’m just relieved I’m not the only one.</p>
<p>I use both first and second person, depending on the occasion. When I’m puzzled, it’s usually first person. When I’m mad at myself, it’s usually second person.</p>
<p>Usually in second person. Sometimes first; never in third.</p>
<p>Usually first or second. Only occasionally third.</p>
<p>^ I’m just fascinated how you can talk to yourself in third person… it seems so funny to talk to myself about myself. </p>
<p>It’s weird because when I have an argument with myself, I usually use first person, like Tavia on Fiddler on the Roof (“I should do this; but on the other hand, maybe I should do that”). I almost always use second person for yelling at myself (“you stupid moron, why did you say that!?”) or when I’m commanding myself (“don’t you DARE have another ice cream.”)</p>
<p>second person. always.</p>
<p>Mostly second. Though sometimes I use “we” in true Gollum fashion.</p>
