Is it normal to talk to yourself a lot?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, talking to yourself a lot is normal. It can help you organize your thoughts, focus, work through feelings, or remember what you’re doing.

Lots of people talk to themselves, out loud or silently. You might narrate a task, rehearse a conversation, or give yourself a running commentary while you look for your keys—your brain’s personal podcast, basically.

People have different opinions about talking aloud in public; some don’t notice, while others may find it a little unusual. But the habit itself is generally harmless. If it feels frightening, disruptive, or like you’re hearing a voice that doesn’t feel like your own thoughts, consider talking it over with a professional.
