Be it in the library or in shops, I often hear old folks talking to themselves. Is it a habit they’ve likely always had or is it something to do with aging?

    Two reasons I can think of it being age related, though I think it’s pretty common at any age:

    1. Cognition and short term memory isn’t what it used to be, and saying things out loud helps
    2. With age you stop giving a fuck what people around you think (source: self)
