ILX's go-to posters for various subjects

well most of them anyway. I'm sure there are people at work who secretly wonder 'why's he always tapping that wall' etc.

I thought I had OCD when was 19 and even took Luvox for it but I (and my shrink at the time ) suspected I have more of an obsessive personality than actual OCD. my mom has some crazy weird behavior issues tho, like talking to herself, which she passed on to me

Don't want to derail so I'll keep this brief: I've been diagnosed OCD twice so I don't wonder about it anymore. Also recently I heard & read some stuff about Asperger that described me so closely it sort of scared the shit out of me (not sure what to do about that tbh).

dont worry unduly about it imo

I talk to myself all the time! Didn't know it was crazy D:

I don't think it is, but when people catch me doing it they make mad fun of me.

You need a new job and new life IMO

Yeah I talk to myself out loud freely when I'm alone.

When I'm in public, I think to myself furiously and sometimes realise I'm kind of almost-whsipering and i have to really watch out I dont end up one of those muttering nutters.

what does it have to do with my job?

yes, that Trayce. and I think some peole getw eirded out as it almost sounds like I'm having a two way conversation, but well like I mentioned I get it from my mom. except she does it much worse, and only when she's angry.

imo you are all crazy

I try to do all my talking outloud to myself in the car on the way home from work or in bed at night. Most of the time it's just me talking out dialog for story ideas, but sometimes it's conversations with people I would never talk to or arguments that I would never dare have, stuff like that where I can say it out loud and feel like I've handled it rather than stuffed it away. Though I caught myself talking out loud in the bathroom once at work, thought I was whispering and said something out loud and was like 'oooh fuck hope no-one knows it was me' and scurried away as fast as I could.

when people try to bust on me for it I just turn to the side, and go "ya see, dude's a loon, he can't even see you"

haha

oh god i talk to myself a lot. sometimes i'm just singing to myself, which is one thing, but i do it a lot if like, i'm remembering a really funny anecdote or joke and i'll be walking down the street grinning to myself and muttering and i must look just batty. it's particularly bad if i've got headphones on and i'm ~in ones own world~

I am one of those random mumbler nutters. It feels like I think of words and it slips out of my brain and into my mouth unintentionally. It's only been happening for the last two years and yes, I am worried about it.

lol with the lyrics, I do it with rap lyrics a lot. ie today I kept rapping the Method Man verse from Tupac's "I Got My Mind made up", the part that goes "better take one and pass, or that's that ass/your vital statistics are lowa nd falling fast", then realized I wasn't doing it inside my head, but out loud in a best buy. fortunately it was pretty empty.

that's 'low and falling fast', nothing to do with Iowa

Lost my shit at this tbh

Another C-G synaesthete here. When I first heard about it I didn't realise it was what I "have" (also think this is a weird choice of word) because it's not like I hallucinate or visually see that colour. I usually describe it as like looking at a black & white photo of something you know the colour of. Although that's not exactly right. The colour is totally intrinsic to the letter and will never change - although there are one or two letters I'm almost ambivalent about having a colour (B in particular - the colour is very weak). I do find it quite satisfying when words are printed in their 'correct' colours though, and I think there is some effect of it when you do a modified stroop test.
