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"

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

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.
