Let me find out from everyone. Have you ever found yourself talking to yourself in the bathroom before? Don't worry, if you do it, you're not crazy and you're not the only one doing it.
The reason we end up doing that is because the bathroom is a private and quiet space with no one around to judge. That may be why it feels okay to say your thoughts out loud. It's the mind, it's always thinking and working some sometimes we say what we think although no one is there. It's almost like you're talking to someone else.
People talk to themselves for many reasons. Sometimes they may be practicing what they will say, such as in the case of an important meeting or hard conversation, mostly the arguments about to happen. Perhaps you think the person you're with will betray you and you play a whole scenario where they actually do it and what you would say when they do.
We usually say it out loud because it is a way of helping us feel prepared.
Sometimes people can even give themselves a pep talk in the bathroom mirror. Things like, you've got this or Stay strong. This can help increase their confidence and make them feel better.
Some people even have amazing ideas when they are brushing their teeth or washing their face. Quiet space can also create more space for the brain to think.
People may go into the bathroom because they are sad or upset and they cry and talk to themselves. For me the problem is not the talking but how the water is running while you're spending 2 hours in that place. This is a method of relieving their feelings and creating peace again.
So if you talk to yourself in the bathroom, you are not weird, you are just being a person and people will people.
