If that's happening to anyone, it lowkey just means that you're really stressed out about something(s), and not talking about it. In my experience, it's because the person in question is either bottling it up, or spending too much time alone.

I was arguing with a wife I made up in my head about not wanting to go to some event and her being mad at me because I was mopey the whole time. Even though I told her I wasn't going to have a good time and she could just go without me. This happens every time and I don't know why she keeps asking.

Anyway my fantasy wife and I are getting a divorce.

so shes single?

If that's a sign of mental illness then ADHDers are in shambles.

More than just ADHDers, but… Thought this was just normal life
- Go on the ADHD meme subs here and absolutely everything they post is normal human behaviour imo
ADHD is a mental illness though.
- ADHD is a neurodivergent category. 🤌🏼
My life is in shambles

For anyone wondering: No, this is not a sign of a mental illness. Talking to yourself is completely normal.

But you still might have a mental illness, talking aside
Normal if you have a mental illness
(It’s a joke)

See, that's why you build a therapist in a box inside your head, so it can mediate between the other aspects of your inner processes

Is a Therapist in a Box just a DLC for the Jack in a Box?
- Of course. Comes with a free skin though

It's the leading cause of spontaneous crying in the car.

Well, excuse me for crafting such moving mental narratives! 😔

Why am I feeling just fine while the world is burning? /s

Copium® is a muthafucka 🙇🏼‍♂️

I was trying some anti depressants and they didn't work well for me but the bizarre side effect from taking them is that i couldn't stop talking to myself. I go on walks in the evening and when i was on these meds i would be out there walking down the street having conversations out loud with myself, every day! I do this in my head sometimes but with these meds it wasn't silent and i just couldn't turn it off.

You don't need a sign, the tiktok watermark alone shows you're in need of professional help.

high-key

How is it "mentally ill" to converse with yourself?

It's not and I've been telling myself that for years.
The idea is not that the conversation is illness, but that one might 'hear' what was said by the objectified self inside their head and recognize it as the sort of thing they'd more easily recognise as a sign of mental illness if said by someone else.
- right, that's evident from the OP image. I'm asking why they'd "recognize it as the sort of thing they'd more easily recognise as a sign of mental illness if said by someone else"

Stop spying on me
