If you constantly talk to yourself,do you lose an argument?

The beauty of this is that you can never lose because no matter what the out come of the argument, you win (the cup IS half full)\nPS And you are always right!\nAll the best;

yes.....if you don't practice it or be around people that speak the language eventually you will lose it... unfortunately...im a perfect example.

I don't talk to myself outloud, but I do have a running commentary in my head. I quite amuse myself, sometimes, and often get strange reactions for "smiling about nothing." This also amuses me..\n\nI don't understand why people say,"It is okay to talk to yourself, as long as you don't answer your own questions." What's the point of asking a question and not finding an answer for it?\n\nI suppose it would be odd, though, if one were to answer his own question with a second, disembodied voice..\n\nAnd then, there's the whole issue of "talking to yourself in order to finally get some intelligent conversation."

Hmmm.... it happened to me..\n\nI am considered to be a cool headed person.. who does not get angry / agigated easily (me not bluffing :-D )..\n\nSometime back... I used to get agigated / irritated rather easily and in no time.. and it began happening often.. my friend.. pointed it out.. \n\nFirst time.. I said.. I denied.. and got hyper... etc etc...\n\nIt happened again.. and he pointed out... I denied again.. but this time did not defend myself.. I realised.. I was wrong..\n\nThat did not mean that it did not happen again.. but whenever it happened he was quick to jump on me.. And boy! do I love him for that... that has brought me back to (ab)normal ...

Sometimes, sometimes not.\nIf my friends and I have discussed a situation to a great extent, and it's obvious that we don't agree, we just stop mentioning it so we don't get on each other's nerves.\nUsually though, I am really open to my friends.  If I'm having doubts about whether to say something, I kind of bring the topic up, but not come right and say anything, to test the waters on whether it will be a confrontational topic.  \nAnd of course, it all depends on the friend.

You need to keep talking. This is not a real question, merely a sentence fragment.

Negative self-talk initiated from external input did it.  Positive self-talk initiated by you will fix it. You have to do it every day several times a day; while looking at yourself in the mirror is best.\n\nNo Shannon, I'm not an idiot. You and I are at different levels is all. I'm actually very smart.  I have a PHD in Psychology and I graduated first in my class.  BTW, stalking is not very ladylike - good grammer and spelling is better. \n\nMy advice is a concise summary suitable for Y!A.  In real life it takes much longer for people to get it.

Only if you talk out your butt.

not necessarily. from my childhood experience, my mom argues a lot with my dad (rest his soul) and to her current beau. it makes me mad listening to their topic and i told my husband, if i start acting that way, please remind me of my mom so i wouldn't do it. \n\ni guess i got a phobia of hearing argument and it makes me upset cause it affected the family for sure. all my brothers hates argument as well cause of our mom, they are all married now but very quiet and never argue at all. we are glad that we got our dad's attitude cause it will be a havoc to our future if we inherit such horrible traits.\n\nso it's up to you if you want to be like your family, would you want a peaceful life? good luck and hope you didn't inherit it.

May not be right away at the beginning because you don't want to tell them but later on you may eventually tell them pieces by pieces during the daily conversation.  So depending on yourself and your personality.

ABSOLUTELY. Often, people fight about petty issues, just to air their other issues. When someone's complaining about stuff all the time, they are obviously unhappy in general. If you get into an arguement, or verbal fight, ask the other person to stick to the subject. I've done that, and it usually makes the "fighter" back down, and re-think their gripes.

Speak your mind. Always.\nNot speaking your mind will continue to stab you inside, all the time. Make you feel worthless because you do not change anything, don't make yourself heard. \nThere is time to be cheerful and pretend to be happy, but doing that all the time is a disguise that will break someday. Bring out your true self. If people don't listen, speak louder. Don't cave in and pretend to accept others opinions just to make them happy. Listen to what they say and change your mind only if they convinced you. \n\nThis means you cannot please everyone all the time. You might even be viewed as a b*tch sometimes. Don't let that scare you. There is only one person you need to satisfy, and that is you. No one else. \n\nGood luck. I know you will be much happier and feel much stronger.

Turn around and walk away.   And never, ever discuss religion, politics or sports and also, whenever possible, mind your own business.  Do all that and you'll never be in an argumentative situation.\n-MM

Maybe you are trying to hard, just relax.  Talking as natural as it should be, isn't always easy for some to do in the company of others, but I think if you were to not put too much effort into it, it would just come normal.  I am sure you have got opinions about things, just pick your time, don't just talk for talking sake, because then you may babble and talk a whole lot of nonsense.  Speak up when you know you have something soound to contribute and after\nawhile you will be saying more than even you realize.  Baby steps, you'll be o.k   Talking is overated anyway :)

Pick and choose your battles wisely.  Stand up for yourself if it is something you really believe in.  Otherwise, if it's something he really believes in, listen, be understanding, and just let it be.  It's not worth the aggravation to always argue or that you always have to win.  I think its really important to only argue when absolutely necessary.  If you are not wanting to get into a fight; let him know, and stop the conversation.  Sometimes, later I'll even get an apology for it.  I just don't make a big deal out of it.  They appreciate that.

All the time.  \nI have a superiority complex \n(I'm not joking.  It's a problem I've been trying to work on for years. But it's hard.)
