Do you ever argue with yourself?

[boiteporte 591]

I never argue with myself. The reason is that I know that I am always right (axiom 22). If I started having contradicting arguments with myself, then half of me would be wrong and that is not acceptable.

 

Hence, I never argue with myself.

[An Unknown Pony. 370]

Yes,but not the "talking-to-ones-self" manner,I argue with myself at my brain

[JonasDarkmane 19,785]

Happens to me often. That is why I go for a walk during the night when pretty much nobody is walking around so that I can have a moment with my self. So that I can clear my head. So that I can argue with my self in peace. My other self is kinda like Edward Hyde  . He is not a very nice person. However I sometimes argue with other versions of my self, those versions I like since they are not Edward Hyde. 

[Hypn0ticD 1,213]

I argue with myself on a near constant basis! Like you, it helps me think! I also act out scenes from my RP aloud a bit from time to time, which makes me look even ore like a nut!

I say arguments with oneself is good thing, when there no one else around tell you that you wrong. Our else might go with false consumption that you are always right.

[Justin_Case001 4,888]

I also like to imagine myself as a superhero saving all the peeps n such. Guess I'm crazy or something.

If you're crazy, then I'm bat sh*t insane.

 

On point, I argue with myself....hmm....oh, probably daily.  Sometimes it helps me think, other times it's destructive.  I tend to feel like I have two sides to myself.  There's me, and then there's the other me, inside my mind, the one who's always standing in my way.  The one who wants to see me fail for whatever reason.  The one who seems to believe he has been where I think I need to go, and wants to tell me I'll never get there, so don't try.  My arguments with him have caused me a great deal of depression and self-loathing in the past.  Basically, picture Gollum vs. Smeagol.  Ugh, I must sound like a complete psycho.  Lol.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who kinda feels this way.

All the time. I'm always fighting with myself to do certain things. Like, lately, I want to play Pokemon... yet I don't at the same time. That's just an example.

[ARagY 1,152]

Yes! I call that me "other me". Other me is always the one telling me something is a bad idea before I do it. It's also the one unfortunately who blames me for my mistakes. Dammit I swear it was the flu's fault..

[Visual Spectrum 1,932]

Sort of not really. 

 

I have DID. I may appear to be arguing with myself, but I am technically arguing with one of my alter egos. We don't agree on everything, but we aren't compete opposites like how a lot of DID people or portrayed.

 

Arguing with myself: The closest is when I am deciding what I want. For example: I like spice drops. I love skittles more. Skittles are more expensive though. I would have to decide whether I will go with spice drops or pay the extra and get skittles. That is the closest of me arguing with myself. 

[Celli 4,338]

Not really. I mean, once in a blue moon, I'll start talking to myself about whatever's on my mind.

[CuriousPony 157]

I tend to rant to myself. 

 

I'm infamous for thinking out loud, and my mom constantly tells me people are gonna think I'm crazy. 

[Fawkes The Phoenix 737]

I argue with the voices in my head. That's different  -_-

[ThatOneComrade 1,091]

ALL THE TIME. Most of our arguments go like this:

*I achieve something that I'm proud of. Passing a test, for example.*

"Whoa, a 93%? I expected an 80% at best!"

"93%'s still pretty bad. You should've gotten a 100%."

"I'm just happy with what I got. Science is hard."

"Science isn't hard; you're just too stupid to understand it."

"I'm not stupid."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"I'm not stupid; I won this certificate."

"Last year. It's 2014 and you haven't even made a 4.0GPA. You're a disappointment to your family and you know it."

"..."

"Dumb donkey."

At which point I get depressed and begin failing. It ain't fun.

[NotoriousSMALL 1,984]

I can't recall a time that I've ever argued with myself.

[Shadow Wind 56]

I act out my thoughts when I'm alone, so intern I talk to myself a lot. It's only because there is almost no one to talk to where I live. Hey, you know what would be awesome? What? *Whispers* What?! No that would be a terrible thing to do! Aww come on. Please? I said no, and that's it. Okay, whatever, wouldn't have worked anyway...   Sorry, that was darkshadow wind, the other me. He's evil. Really evil...

[this is real right 11]

I've at times actually started arguing with myself out loud, and sometimes people think I'm arguing with them.

It's good to talk to yourself or something, but as long as people don't hear it, it's not as strange.

[King Sejong 859]

   I argue with myself all the time, to see two sides of an argument, but frankly I would rather debate myself than someone else, furthermore, one debate I typically have, is if I wish to stay as a brony or not. I have been a brony for over a year now, and have gotten close to quitting the fandom, but I always find good reasons to stay, for friends or new fans that could use a friend, nevertheless, this argument I have with myself will continue, especially if I had a difficult time other fans, or have nothing to share, I pace and ponder if the fandom is worthy enough for me to stay, now if fans out there wish for me to remain as a brony, I might be persuaded, as of now the debate will go on.

[Tom Snyder 4,112]

I only do to come up with good lines for my stories.

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

Sometimes I do actually. 

 

If there is something I am telling myself to go against or to force myself not to do. I argue with myself during those times and I tend to think over things quite a bit. 

[Plume 922]

All the time! I'm practically insane in the fact that I talk to myself on a daily basis. It's normally when something weird happens, and I need to sort out what I'm thinking or I have to make a decision or I'm mad at myself...

 

On second thought I just talk to myself.

[Hashi 323]

Talking to myself? Of course

Well, I don't have anybody else to talk to, plus I probably wouldn't want to.

Plus, it is useful to come up with ideas, although I usually discuss philosophy.

Unfortunately, I have had neither the time or inclination to form a tulpa therefore my discussions often end up stale, and I welcome the inclusion of a debate partner, however rare somebody willing to discuss delicate subjects and philosophy may be. Although i have found one, despite not talking to him much.

Its often not needed, being able to act on a subconscious level is much easier and quicker, but doing it this way feels better.

[User0815 264]

Also sometimes I even role play with me lol wut, somebody else??!

I actually do this quite often

[Dark Horse 12,961]

Yep, I pretty much have to run things by in my head before doing it. I find that you can be your own best critic in many arguments. I don't see it as a bad thing, its good to have someone to vent to when there's nobody else around. I even ponder to myself while typing out these responses.

[DubWolf 17,263]

All the time. The bad side of me is... Doing bad stuff sometimes, or isn't doing what he's supposed to be doing, and so I tell myself I need to do this and that, and stop doing this or that. It's called my conscience, right?

[Lord Bradley 1,319]

Yeah, the voices like to have arguments. They get scary when they disagree though...

 

 

And to seriousness. Yes, i do argue with myself. As in, say something out loud(Or internally) and then say something to counter it or add positive points to it. It helps with choices. Its usually just me speaking to myself out loud, and then parents come in wondering who im talking too(Which always leads to an awkward conversation, but thats another story). I do it internally while in public, though, to avoid stares and the likes.

 

Basically, it usually goes like this when i cant choose a game to play: (The voices are just me talking. Im just addin em for immersion like they're different parts of me arguing)

 

Voice1"Skyrim would be fun to mess around in"   

 

Voice2"But i've already maxed everything on it. lets play Rebirth"  

 

V1"Dont wanna continue the madness with that one character though, and i dont need anything on the others. Maybe i should try my chances at Hearthstone"

 

V2"No! I suck at that! Besides, my cards arent that good. I might want to continue my Fallout adventure"

 

V1"Nah, that got boring a bit ago when i won. And i dont feel like exploring. Why dont i just play*Insert generic game-name*."

 

V2"Probably not. Not feeling it"

 

Voice3"Hey, me. Why dont i just go outside and have a wa-"

 

V1 and V2 "NO!"

 

V3"O-Ok, a-alright..."

 

Continue arguing between V1 and V2 until i actually decide to play something
