He also talks to/about other people in the 3rd person.An example is instead of saying "hi,how are you doing" to Joe he says "how's Joe doing today?".
I have heard people say: "How is Joe doing today." I guess you would call that idiomatic speech. What is the definition of idiom? I think that is what they would call it. I am referring to the speech of different parts of the Country. Yes, that would not imply a dissociative disorder.
Thanks for this!
