Talking to inanimate objects

[gamecubeguy214 2,512]

I've recently started talking to my PAC-MAN Amiibo, but that's no surprise considering I'm Gamecubeguy, isn't it? "Holy crap, that was the best read I've ever seen! Bravo!"

I often yell and swear at my computer or iPad in anger when an app is too slow or crashes.   Seriously though, it's frustrating.

I find that having conversations with myself, inanimate objects, or fictional characters in media I am currently reading/watching/playing is a good way to vent off stress, and is a lot healthier than taking my frustration out on my loved ones.

 

In the words of Santiago from "The Old Man and the Sea"

 

 

If the others heard me talking out loud they would think that I am crazy. But since I am not, I do not care.

I have noticed this too, so I fully agree with this. I always feel a little calmer when I vent to some of my plushies or hug them tightly to relieve stress. It's a good cope mechanism that I find comfortable too.

I do this sometimes, too! A lot of the time when I'm not talking to someone else, I'm having a nice conversation with myself (), but often times I do chat to inanimate objects. I frequently ask my computer why it's running so slow, and question my phone when it loses the WiFi signal. When I'm leaving to go on vacation I say goodbye to pretty much everything I'm not taking with me. My family thinks I'm mad, but I just really like my home!

This is probably relevant right now - when I took a nap earlier today, I told my plush shark that he shouldn't wake me up. I woke up by myself so he did what I told him to.

I really have conversations with inanimate objects. Okay, when I'm upset and I need to vent I do. XD But whenever I bump into an object I'll apologise to it.

I talk to myself and my pets a lot, but inanimate objects? No, I don't get a reply, so I don't bother.

There's nothing wrong with it everybody has talked to themselves or yelled at an object at least once as long as the objects are not telling you to go murder a whole town then your fine.

Sometimes I like to talk to my Twilight plushie.  The plushie itself may be inanimate, but Twilight herself is there with me. It's kinda hard to explain.

I know what you mean. I like talk to my Rainbow Dash plushie. I even talk to the pictures of Coloratura I have on my wall, and believe that she is there listening to me.

I talk to cars. Even name them.  If that doesn't make me crazy I don't know what will.

I'll talk to electronics and mechanical equipment that I'm working on. I've done it since I was a kid, so I guess it just carried over into adulthood.

I talk to them and even name them. I might go the full Autumn Blaze and name my shadow.

Rubber duck debugging (in which one explains one's code, line by line, to a rubber duck) is a reliable means of sorting out problems with your code, and one I use frequently (accompanied by grumbles of 'wretched machine'.) 

[IronM17 5,387]

No, usually not. The only thing that can happen is when something don't work or makes trouble (for example my computer or my car) that I shout on it and say things like: "Come on, don't let me hang here!" or similar stuff. But this is just to get rid of my anger from this situation.

To my shadow: "well it's just you and me again against the world."

To a whiskey: "you completed me."

To a dying laptop: Oh c'mon work damnit!

I speak to inanimate objects on a regular basis. Many have told me how strange it is, yet I still continue to do it.

I talk to my truck all the time. We happen to be very close.

I did the same with Lilly. I have yet to get the same attachment to Snowy.

[Early Sunsets 2,107]

All the time. I have to talk to someone every day, even if they don't exist.

[Nsxile 26,974]

I only do it when I'm alone for a long period of time.

Sometimes that's the best converstion available.
