Talking to Myself and that's okay

I'm beginning to think that talking to yourself is not a sign of insanity or an offkilter mind at all. Perhaps this is because I talk to myself quite often but, other than an extreme need to have everyone like me and to be the centre of attention, I don't think that I am in any way, other than the afformentioned extreme needs, (dare i say it) crazy. I've noticed a lot of people talk to themselves. At least the people I surround myself with do. True, several of them have been institutionalized but they are not really the ones I catch talking to themselves. I think that people have taken crazy and made it wonderfully easy to use; perhaps even complaimentary. I know if someone calls me crazy I am, in a way, flattered. It sort of makes me feel like I stand out, like I don't have to fit in to be alright. They don't really think I'm insane or they would have a talk with.... i really don't know..... my parents or someone. I just think that as long as yourself doesn't start answering for you (sounds weird but I know what I'm trying to say and maybe I'll pull it off but probably I won't) I think you're okay.
