Have you ever talked to yourself like have a full blown conversation.. Like someone else is at the end of the spectrum?
Geminis have you ever?
Every day... Like "where's the stapler, where did I put that thing? Did I last use it by the copier? Oh no, I used the copier stapler, so where did I leave that darned thing?...on and on and on"
Geminis just LOVE the sound of their own voice...and when no one is around to talk WITH, no problem!!! We just talk with ourselves! Lol

Yes...

All the time.

Mmmhmmm

Posted by blackphaseI'm glad that I'm not alone too. Gemini moon only here.
I do this A LOT! Nice to know I am not alone 😛
The problem is that when I do this I quite often do it out loud and do not pay attention to my surroundings.. I know that people have seen me and likely think I am completely insane.
In the days before cell phones the risk of being seen as insane was much much higher. lol
I often have conversations with a character I invented to help me deal with difficult feelings and anxiety. The character is basically my rational mind personified. I can sometimes pep talk myself out of down states by imagining talking to the character. I don't pretend that the character is real with anyone, lol, it's just a private thing that, ironically perhaps, helps keep me sane.

Posted by blackphaseI'm glad you relate! 🙂 I wasn't sure after I posted that if I would seem really strange and I might seem crazy. I don't tell most people about it.Posted by CopperDoveI do the exact same thing, I just did not know how to properly explain it without people thinking I am nuts! So thank you for putting that into words for me.. You wouldn't believe how many made up conversations I've has with therapists.. So saddd. But I think you are right, it helps keep me sane as well. I don't have many people that I can talk to.. so fictional characters seem to do.Posted by blackphaseI'm glad that I'm not alone too. Gemini moon only here.

Posted by blackphaseI'm glad. I've had some very good relationships with imaginary people, sometimes based on fictional characters created by others, other times characters created by me, including my current one. I decided on a birth day and time for my current one. Sheesh. lolPosted by CopperDoveHaha. Yes, it's hard to explain without sounding a bit crazy, but you've seemed to capture it quite well 😛Posted by blackphaseI'm glad you relate! 🙂 I wasn't sure after I posted that if I would seem really strange and I might seem crazy.

@blackphase I do that too sometimes - imagine talking to people I know. But yes, my fully imaginary people are quite detailed and involved. They are always male, too.

Posted by blackphaseDefinitely very developed. 🙂 I have a special file in my computer with info on them that I've created and add to from time to time. It's my most detailed creation yet.Posted by CopperDoveThat's actually quite interesting I think. It's very developed.

I was a bit spooked to discover that the chart I created for them (based on a real day and time and place of birth) is quite similar to my current progressed chart. I just checked that today. I didn't know anything about progressed charts when I first created this particular character, and when I created him my progressed chart would have been a bit different I guess, but as it stands today there are lots of similarities.

@blackphase Yes, it does take quite a bit of time, but I can find it so helpful and enjoyable that it doesn't feel like work. Creative exercise in part, and it helps to make the character more "real" to me which is handy if I'm feeling lonely.

I do that all the time. But I have no gemini placements.

Posted by Kjk62My conversations with myself are excellent. LolPosted by Charfig5I was just about to say...

We all do it, I guess the more gemini you got the better convos with yourself?click to expand

Haha. I love this topic. I only have a Gemini moon, but I will say yes, I do this. I've never created characters though.
But I've refined it to recording myself talking through problems or venting, like those therapists who would record their patients and file them away. Except I'm my own patient. It's easier for me to separate from myself to give myself the best advice if I'm able to listen to what I'm saying, 'cause then I can imagine it's not me. If that made any sense!
It's better than going to a therapist. And I feel so relieved afterward. I get to say absolutely everything I want in a guaranteed safe space 'cause it's just me listening! It's also cool to look back and see how much I've grown 🙂 You guys should try it. All phones these days have a record feature.
