    I talk to myself when I am thinking, especially if what I am thinking about relates to emotional processing. I have never recorded myself doing this, but I don’t think I vocalise complete sentences. While I’m processing, I repeat a contextually relevant word or phrase over and over again, even if I think I’ve moved past it in my head.

    I find myself doing this in public sometimes (whoops), but with silent mouth movements. Earphones help me avoid looking dodgy or like I’m hallucinating.

      I talk through everything aloud. Like rubber duck debugging but for almost everything. It’s like a word sanity check about my project.
