Talking to yourself isn't nearly as bad as people think. At least that is my own humble opinion. In fact, you may learn more about yourself than you would ever care to know. I found about the concept of interviewing yourself at a very early age, from a so-called Rock-God who wasn't and isn't looked at as the greatest role model on this somewhat green earth we call home. I liked the concept, loved the idea, and always thought it was enlightment in the making. After-all, the questions posed in a one on one self interview by yourself are limitless, and probe deeper than the Katie Couric's & Bill O'Reiley's ever could......as long as you are true.
Every single day of my working life I interview individuals to gather whether or not myself and my firm can help them in bettering their dreams of homeownership or realizations of that very home they actually own. I ask the questions, I listen to the answers, I ask the probing & open-ended questions to find out if I can help...or at least guide them in the right direction. Yet, I never did it as good as when I probed myself first, knew more about me than I imagined I may know. Self-realization=A Better Understanding of Anybody's Particular Situation.
From
to
, my client list has been one that lends itself to dealing with any and all financial situations. Personally, I've been on both ends and everywhere in between. I like the feeling of dealing with all ends if you know what I mean.
Interviewing myself on a somewhat regular basis allows me to know & more importantly realize what I'm about. You know, the imperfections, malfunctions, human errors, waves of thoughts flowing through my thick & stubborn skull. That very exercise reminds me that I am human, above nothing, beneath the same. It allows me to identify, clarify & rectify my association with anyone I come in contact with. To know thyself is scary, but it adds credibility when trying to garner an understanding of others & what they have & are going through. The Self Interview, if practiced regularly, allows me to harness my knowledge in a more open way. And as the famous unknown once said, "If your mind's not open, shut your mouth too."
Do yourself a favor. The next time you take a long walk home, or are sitting alone with nothing but restless thoughts in mind, start asking yourself questions. Ask what nobody else would think of asking. Answer as only you could. Find out more about yourself to better serve the 'Others' you deal with.

Billy, Inga, Nalliah, Siha, - Thank you for the comments, I keep on talking....to myself. Along the way, sometimes others get to hear me as well:-)
I talk to myself all the time! I'm a great listener and I'm always on my side. ;o)
Your topic made me think of John Boy from the radio show John Boy and Billy based in Charlotte, NC. It's national, maybe you've heard it -- John Boy can interview himself and not miss a step, it's hysterical!
I don't know. I am a hard interview. I doubt even me could get something out of me. LOL. Wonderful post.
Lisa - You have to ask the hard question:-) I would say yes though. Sometimes, enough is said.
Sarah - I'm not familiar but it sounds interesting.
Greg - LOL!
Christy - Thank you. I'm sure even the hard interview could get cracked.
Nice idea - I've never tried it
I don't talk to myself - I have like Lisa commented, made a few posts with no comments back but that's more like talking to someone and no one hearing you =\ or at least not responding.
Maybe the crazies are more sane than people give them credit =D
Keith - I think so too!
Abraham - The crazies only come out at night:-)
Jamie-Lynn - I hope that it helps in any capacity it can.
Thanks for this reminder. At least I know I'm not crazy.
PS: I must admit though: I dont talk to myself as often as I talk to God to ask for His directions over things.
Ryan - Probably not, those voices tend to be decent guides around this great big world.
Loreena - I get caught every once in awhile, can't imagine what they are thinking. Keep on talking...to yourself...and God.
Twice Rob, I left a couple messages. Still not getting return calls....UGH!
