The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for February 04, 2022

I used to do that, until I discovered that I wasn’t interested in what I had to say either.

At least you don’t yell at yourself the way Chiefey does with you! ;D

But why are you talking to us about it? We’re all too self absorbed to give a damn about your problems.

Talking to yourself is OK, as long as you don’t start arguing with yourself!!

/SHMIRK/

When you retire, Brutus, you might discover you are great company for yourself and talk away.

Do what Arlo does. Talk to yourself but don’t listen to yourself.

Then, why do you act if you are falling asleep?

Myself and I are not speaking to one another right now. I’m mad at myself. Keeps the voices a little more quiet too.

It’ll pass Brutus. Soon you won’t be interested in what your saying. I speak from experience.

Talking to yourself can mean a trip to the funny farm.

I used to talk to myself but I stopped. I was getting too many stupid answers.

Or you just want an intelligent conversation.

I kind of miss the days of Shakespeare when talking to yourself was not only socially accepted, but was considered the highest forms of poetry. Romeo, “Hark what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east and Juliette is the sun!” Hamlet, “To be or not to be that is the question. Whether tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or to take arms against a sea of troubles and oppose them?”

Soliloquys seem to have gone out of fashion.

Plus, Brutus is probably the only intelligent person in the room.

I feel the same actually…

Before I retired, when those that worked for me gave me a hard time about talking and answering myself, I would tell them, “It is the only way I get any intelligent conversation in this place.”

Poor Brutus – talking to himself and getting more confused. Better take a nap see.

And there Brutus is your answer, well done!

I just think of it as either thinking out loud or I am talking to my dog. Yeah, blame the dog.

Don’t worry. Most people wrongly think what they have to say is interesting.

To borrow from a Great Disney Song from Toy Story, “You have a friend in Yourself(Me)”, always. And if you need someone else to talk to, You got a friend in me, anytime you need one my friend…..

At least you’re still listening to you.

I wonder if he ever falls asleep while talking to himself.

Nothing wrong with having a heated discussion with yourself.. but do wear earbuds to give the impression you are talking to someone else. People will talk if you don’t.

Brutus, it’s really bad when you talk to yourself and then answer yourself…

From the looks of him even Brutus is bored by this “conversation.”

Some days I’m my best audience.

I call it rehearsal for when you do have someone to talk to. You gotta get it right.

It’s alright to talk to yourself Brutus just as long as you don’t follow any of your own advice.

“I talk to myself all the time.”

Why?

“It’s the best way to guarantee intelligent conversation.”

So you also answer yourself?

“Of course, it would be rude not to.”

My standard dialog any time the subject comes up.

Don’t tell me Uncle Ted’s not interested in what you have to say, Brutus!

Don’t stress over it too much Brutus; you’ve got lots of company — I’ve been doing it for years.

The only reason I talk to my self is that no one will listen to me.
