Is it normal to talk to someone in your head?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes—having conversations in your head is common, whether you’re rehearsing what to say, replaying a conversation, or imagining what someone might think. It’s generally nothing to worry about if you know it’s happening in your own mind and it isn’t upsetting you.
Lots of people mentally talk to themselves or imagine conversations with someone else. You might be practicing a difficult conversation, working through a decision, or just giving your thoughts a voice—it doesn’t mean you’re odd or lonely.
It’s worth paying attention if the voice feels like it’s coming from outside you, feels out of your control, or is frightening or upsetting. If that’s happening, talking with a mental health professional could help you sort it out.
