:lol: I'm thinking your meaning of 'talking to ones self' is likened to sitting at a table alone, in public, and having a whole conversations by yourself. That would be a turn off. Muttering to one's self occasionally (agreed) we all do, not a turn off. My original post on the subject is about the person who has a conversation with others that is really a speech, lecture, soliloquy ...... basically talking at people not with them.
