And does it really bother them? I understand the desire to appear 'normal' to everyone. Especially to those that are closest to you. I really wish I could offer words that would help but I don't know what you are going through. If you are hurting and talking to yourself helps I don't see how that's a bad thing at all.

But, I'm not a mental health expert. I only have my own experiences to draw from and we're all different. We all hurt in different ways.

If ya' ever want to chat by PM then please do and if you need a real human voice I can give you my personal cell phone number. Remember, there is always someone you can talk to.
