I'm obviously not alone here as a couple of friends have said they do the same, but others think I'm losing the plot.
When I'm confronted with a difficult problem, I tend to talk it out to myself and rationalise what's happening in order to figure out a solution. I just can't do it in my head. Obviously this happens at work and some colleagues think I'm nuts.
I'm also a very visual person and prefer diagrams/pictures over verbose documentation so maybe that's something to do with it (although oddly, documentation is one of my strengths).
Is talking to yourself really the first sign of madness and the onset of dementia or is it just being special?
