    That would never be me. I’m constantly talking to myself. People think I’m crazy, but I think I’m just bursting with ideas!

      Yeah I talk to myself and my cat way too much, I actually talk more when I’m alone than I do when someone else is around.

      It would be me, except I swear a lot under my breath when I run into problems with software or things. In two languages simultaneously, even.

          English and a language that’s highly inflective and flexible. So I can’t decide if it’s worse than C++, but that still seems unlikely.

          The upside is that a handful of swearword roots produce a vast array of actual meanings. And, we have compound swearings too! Stuff like ‘ballscockwhore cuntfuck’ is entirely possible, with shades of meaning even.

          I had to give up talking via swearing at a previous job, because I realized I had trouble coming up with regular words for the things I meant.

      Dude you’re not alone, talk to myself all the time. When I am caught I just tell people I was needing an expert opinion. Its gets a good laugh and people don’t think I’m crazy. Agatha Christina would play out the dialog in her novels to herself outloud. Most people with an active imagination does this.

    Aside from work, most of the talking I do at home is joking around with my cat. He has no idea what the fuck is going on but I crack myself up and he meows his little heart out like he’s watching John Mulaney

    4, because I work partly remote so there have been occasions where I have no reason to leave the house or see another person for four days. I’m introverted so it’s kind of nice, but it’s probably not healthy

    Edit: and my dog is not mine: I share custody with my ex (it’s actually her dog) so that’s only half a week

      I would imagine one would curse a lot in that situation… We are not the same!
