Talking to yourself is not exactly thinking aloud, though it is in some cases. It is just to say whatever comes to your mind. I often keep talking when it is dark and I’m going to put the generator on. Sometimes, people ask who I was talking to and I feel embarrassed but now, come to think of it, it shouldn’t be embarrassing for me. I’m not the only one who talks to himself!
I have had the habit of talking to myself since I was very small. I used to often use it in arguments and then, my sister would say,
“Yeah, only mad people talk to themselves…”
That statement is not put right. Mad people are not the only ones who talk to themselves. In fact, talking to yourself can keep you from going mad. I know this sounds silly but it’s true.
I often find myself thinking aloud when I’m happy and when my thoughts are nonsense. I laugh to myself and that keeps me from getting lonely even if I’m all alone. I don’t get scared when I’m alone at home because I keep talking and laughing to myself. It is not exactly thinking aloud. It is keeping your mind away from other thoughts. Like, when I’m alone, I often find myself getting scared of things that don’t even exist. I tend to see things that are not even present there. Those are what my thoughts make me see. I will not get scared if I don’t want to…
And talking to myself helps me do that!…
When I’m sitting alone in the car while my Mum gets out for some work, I have to do something to keep my mind off the chances of people coming and pulling me out of the vehicle or just coming and trying to snatch whatever is there. So, I talk to myself.

Talking to yourself even makes you more confident. If you stammer or stutter whilst talking, this is your chance to get rid of that. Just keep yourself busy when you are vacant by talking- talking whatever you can think of, whatever you feel like saying. You have no reason to keep it in. Soon you might not even be stammering. You will have your own flow.
Overall, I think talking to yourself is a good habit and having it is good for you in its own way. There are many benefits of talking to oneself if you want to find them. I just told you all, briefly how I fell about talking to myself!
Thank you for reading!!.. ^^
sometimes we do need to talk to ourselves. But just don’t do it in front of many people LOL 
insightful reading
you are right, talking to ourselves helps, I always do that to de-stress.
By the way, just curious, who’s the “jerk” Fantasia Fairy was referring to? Did I miss out something?
Oh, I think I know already, she’s just giving an example of talking to ourselves, suddenly my mind so slow…haha.
Haha!….
Thank you all for the wonderful comments!!.. ^^
I agree with Citra. Just don’t do it in front of others.
Some people whistle. 
Keep busy yourself
Very good. I’ve heard that talking to oneself is a sign of intelligence.. but the insane do it too 
But in general I agree with you.
