Hi so I was just wondering if something was wrong with me or something, so I always have a habit of talking aloud and having conversations with people I know even thought there's no one there. If you walked in on me you'd think I'm crazy but I know that obviously no one's there.

Like I'd just spark up a conversation for a specific situation as if someone I knew was responding. And it happens a lot, I don't do it in public but when I'm alone. In public I tend to do the same but in my head. It's just a normal thing for me now. Is something wrong with me?

I think as long as you are aware that you are doing it you're okay. And that you can control it in public.

It doesn't seem so unusual to me.. is it a trouble for you?

I do it. It's how I work things out. I interview myself. I practice important conversations ahead of time. I fascinate myself with myself. This doesn't sound the same as schizophrenia or turrets. I have bipolar disorder, but my brother and my cousin do not so it's not necessarily a mental illness thing. They do the exact same thing. Rest easy. I don't imagine you'll be stalking down the street raving about talking chickens anytime soon. Some people just think better outside their heads.

I do this as well, so you are definitely not alone! I tend to have long conversations with people who aren't there (Things I wish I had said during an earlier discussion, things I would like to say in a future discussion...etc.). I am able to speak confidently to these people when they aren't there and speak so clearly which is a big difference from my fast paced, jumbled talking when I'm face to face. I also tend to talk to myself in third person a lot and narrate my life verbally and in my head.

Well, our brain needs something to stay busy, and that's the main reason for these "communications". Try to give your brain something else to focus on.
Start a talking with people around you cause your brain has noone else to talk to and it starts talking to itself.

I remember when I was a kid, I made little films in my head and then I talked as if I were a character of the film. I did it with cartoons, for example I was obsessed with the Lion King, and so I talked loudly as if I were one of the characters in the cartoon. For me it was a way of playing. Then I remember when I was a kid I talked to myself as if there were others listening, I knew I was alone, but it was a way to express loudly my thoughts, I think it was a compensation because I was very shy and never talked to others.
Now I always talk to myself, if I'm alone I make conversations loudly, directed only to myself. And sometimes I talk as if there is another character with me, "living" in my head, I know that sounds crazy...but it's like I made this boy figure in my mind, (I see it as an archetype, it's like a male figure of me it that's make sense), I gave "him" a name. And so, this "character" sometimes talks and says very positive things, about myself, giving me insights of situations I'm experiencing, in a positive way. Of course, I know that this characher doesn't really exist, it's a part of me, but I find it helpful to talk to "him" because this figure says very positive things and helps me.
So I think if these conversations with yourself doesn't trouble you, and maybe they bring up something good and positive, I don't see problems. Maybe talking loudly could be a way to compensate, for example, if you usally don't talk much with people and are an introvert, it can be a way to recreate conversations that your mind needs.

I talk with myself quite often. And with other people who aren't there.

I talk to my cat too, but that's different.

I saw a funny meme on Facebook the other day. It said "I talk to myself because I want an expert opinion." So anyway unless this talking to yourself is causing problems I wouldn't worry about it.
