What's weirder? Talking to yourself or talking to an inanimate object?

[Thespeckledkiwi]

So, as I was driving down the freeway tonight, with this cardboard cut out of a rabbit in my passenger seat (it's actually pretty damn cute) I had a weird thought, since I was talking to it. What's weirder? Since I usually talk to myself most of the time to get my thoughts straight, people look at me weird. But if you saw someone having a conversation with an inanimate object like, a paperclip, would that be weirder?

I *am* an inanimate object. I have conversations with myself all the time, so I wouldn't tell the difference.

Interesting.

I have conversations with myself all the time, but I will also address inanimate objects if they are "doing" something worth noting.

I'm glad i'm not the only one who talks to myself. It makes me feel normal to see others do it as well. I don't talk to objects much but I do get angry at my pennis sometimes. I hate going to the bathroom and when I get there I can't go. I make threats like, if you don't hurry up i'm not going to pleasure you, and it works sometimes but I also think it calls my bluff alot as well.

Not very interesting at parties, however.

Maybe your penis would cooperate more if you spelled its name correctly.

Eh, neither is weird. It's just best not to do it out loud when there are people watching.

It's okay in your car; people think you're just singing along with the radio.

Based on this post-I think its weirder to talk to the BolianChef.

I used to get a lot of those 'look at that weirdo'-kinda looks while talking to myself, and the groceries I was looking at, until I started using my internet-headphones (with the built in (quite visible) microphone) on my mp3-player -I think people just assume I'm on the phone with someone... works for me!

It's only really bad if you're talking to someone that isn't there and you expect then to answer.

As evidence, I provide this: In which Kevin talks to himself

I don't think wither is weird.

I talk to myself, I talk to my cats, I talk to my favourite teddy bear (Bexley) and occasionally to other soft toys, I occasionally talk to my computer.

I swear at my computer-does that count?

^ As long as it deserves it.

I don't think it is weird at all. I talk to myself all the time. I find it a very good way to work out problems or think through a particularly difficult work-related issue. I will even vocalize what I am writing just to see if it sounds good. I also tend to chastise myself out loud when I do something stupid.

And I admit it. I talk to inanimate objects. For example, I wished my Karl Urban/McCoy doll a good day when I left for work this morning. I also talk to the tv. However, I am well aware that they are not going to answer me back. If they ever did, I would run screaming from the house.

Neither. It's more unusual to be completely silent. I talk to favourite things, or shout at hated things - washing machine, occasionally. Myself all the time - at least I'm listening and can understand.
