No, but I do my fair share of talking, so I kind of think it evens out.

I'm not a very verbal person (I don't talk much in real life - my husband is the talker) so I don't talk to myself.
Auditory learners talk to themselves because that's how they learn best, by hearing. When they talk to themselves out loud, it's like they are reinforcing what they know or are trying to learn. If you talk to yourself, it's likely that you are an auditory learner.

No, I don't talk to myself. On the flip side, I also sometimes forget to be vocal with thoughts someone else needed to hear. Like, telling my boss I will be late for work on Monday because I have a doctor's appointment. Just because I knew that doesn't mean my boss heard my thought process.

Gosh yes, especially at work. We recently got a new boss. She sits opposite me but we can't see each other uless we stand up. On her very first day she said to me "Do you self talk a lot?" Why yes, yes I do! I just didn't realise how much until she pointed it out. On her first day.

I do- often. I've figured out that I "verbally process" best. I think it's because I have so many thought-trains running around in my head, it's hard to stay on track with just one thought. When I'm talking it out, I can keep focused.
I'm either working with the public- so, that back and forth process is organically happening, or I'm completely alone- so no one is there to worry about thinking I'm crazy. I do have a 20 yr old girl who works for us- we overlap shifts about 30 minutes. She'll ask me every once in awhile- "are you talking to me or yourself?" Every time I remind her, if I'm talking to you I'll say your name. Lol.
I truly assumed it was a girl thing, but maybe not?

oh, I don't bother whispering. I probably wouldn't hear myself if I did!

every so often, more so when I'm by myself during the day, but my dogs are here so I guess I'm not really talking to myself! Right!?!

One of my favorite quotes about being a teacher: “In my ten years of teaching I’ve noticed that teachers tend to have a bad habit of talking to themselves. I hypothesize that this is because we talk for a living, and we feel safe speaking our feelings aloud. Or it could be that most of us, especially the high school teacher variety, are just weird as shit.” ― P.C. Cast, Divine By Mistake

I talk to myself all the time. It would only be crazy if I talk back to myself constantly. LOL
