You know, I was actually thinking about echolalia yesterday. Specifically, delayed echolalia. Sometimes I wonder if I experience it or if I just like quoting things. I mostly quote things from movies (and for some reason it's almost always from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone) but sometimes I also quote other phrases or words. I'm not completely sure why I do it but I have come up with two reasons why I might quote things repeatedly:
1. Sometimes I feel a lot of emotions I can't really define. In those situations all I know is that I don't feel well at all and that I'm probably anxious. To calm myself down I repeat phrases from Harry Potter (mostly) or something.
2. Sometimes I just repeat phrases because I like saying things repetitively. Not sure why.
