 It's not abnormal behaviour, and it's not something to worry about. In fact, it's quite common for people to talk to themselves.

There are a few different theories about why people talk to themselves. Some experts believe that talking to yourself helps you to focus and stay on track. Others believe that talking to yourself is a way of rehearsing or planning out what you're going to say or do. And still others believe that talking to yourself allows you to communicate with parts of your subconscious mind.

Whatever the reason, there's no need to worry - talking to yourself is perfectly normal!
