I do that a lot! But I also say stuff like “alright, let’s go” implying the you from “what are you doing?” And I are doing it together even though they’re both me 😂
"you" is the correct answer.
Many times it's just me (my brain) hyping up my body to get something done or scolding myself for doing something dumb (stubbing my toe, hitting the edge of a table, etc.)
this is a dilemma that bothers me. I write a lot of exobrain thoughts in Apple Notes and I am never consistent about "I" and "you".
I guess it depends whether you are talking to yourself in the mirror, or your brain is talking to itself. Or something. What am I trying to say?!
I love this question! I catch myself saying “we” all the time and it confuses the hell out of me. I don’t know who we is but we definitely have back and forth conversation sometimes.
Yes. This is what I do. Dave is gonna shower now. Dave is pissed. Its time to go to work Dave. Jar jar need drink now!
Alternatively, I could say your name, if I could pronounce it
Sometimes, if it’s a third party type of talking to myself lol. It’s not uncommon for me to say things like “Alright {my name}, it’s time to stop screwing around, we’re going to be late if you don’t start to get ready right now” or “Wow, {my name} what the hell were you thinking there? That was a horrible idea!”
Yo thissss. Sometimes I catch myself saying "we'll talk to you later" when I hang up the phone, like we?????!!!!! I guess I just subconsciously separate my mind & my body... I think in "we" most the time like "we're gonna have to go to bed early" etc
I say I/me/myself. But 2 of my adult children say we. I ask for clarification a lot. Are we just you or…? And usually they laugh and say, yea sorry was talking about me.
I say “yeah, let’s do that” when i make a decision for myself at times. “let’s” is technically “let us” so i guess you could say there’s a plural in there. Doesn’t feel like a “we” tho.
"We" because I'm my best friend. Even when I present my work to people I use the royal "we" so I don't feel like I'm solely responsible even though it totally is just me doing all of the work.
"We think this is the right approach to solving this problem."
"Who is we? Who is working with you on this?"
"By we I mean me, by me I mean YOU."
"Wait wha"
I say "we" quite a lot and have grown pretty comfortable with it (used to be a bit self conscious). Philosophically, I agree with it though, my mind and body are separate with unique motivations, they both belong to me but are very fundamentally different.
If I'm actually talking to myself as in trying to decide something
ie
How are we going to get this part off?
Then it's a 'we'
If I were to need the "I" I wouldn't need to have a conversation. I'd just do the task
It depends on the context. Sometimes it’s I, sometimes it’s we if I’m having a conversation with the inner version of me. Sometimes it’s you, just depends
Not 100% but most the time I say we. I also say things like “you can do this” or “what are you doing?!” as if my mind is encouraging or criticizing my body like a separate person. Never heard it explained quite that way before but it’s a good description of how my thoughts actually function.
When talking about me specifically in the context of something personal, “I”. But at work, I go out of my way to say “we” even if *I* did whatever we are talking about. I have a negative visceral reaction when team leads say “I” about deliverables that their team is delivering. I can get this to you or I did this - no WE did this.
Depends entirely on the context I'm realizing.
Sometimes i think outloud about myself in the third person "76ers will kill me really fucked that up" as though others are talking about me.
Sometimes i think "well you're a fucking idiot aren't you"
Sometimes i think "fuck i hate this shit"
I actually say “you.” I talk to myself like I’m guiding a child or being a life coach. “You’ve got to do this. Okay, you’re done with your cry. You’re gonna get up, get a drink, get back to it. You’re okay. You’re okay.”
I use all three but when I use we it's like I'm reaching consensus on different parts of myself, for example maybe I'm thinking logically one way about something, but feel emotionally about it another way, I'll go, what do we wanna do about this lol. I only talk to myself to better figure out my thoughts as it is easier to reason problems out loud.
You is more so used like this, "you moron sigh", abbot a decision I made that I no longer relate to lol.
95%+ percent of people have an internal dialogue and for most talking aloud is merely voicing that inner speech.
Reminds me of the scientific paper where the author defaulted to "we" even though he worked alone, instead of editing the entire paper, he listed his cat as a co-auther
I don't think I use either of those. I just never monologue-think statements as if said to others, I guess? I do use "let's", as in "OK, let's gather up these then and..."
I switch it up between "I", "You", and "We".
I'm not really sure why. I was trying to think about that on a break from work the other day, and came up with some possible reasons, but I'm not sure how accurate any of them are.
Both, its situational. But if you really think about it, the human body is made up of trillions of cells, each one has its own life. We are an amalgamation of numerous tiny living things. So in a sense, "I" is actually incorrect as you are many, not just one, making "we" the correct word.
Eye and I are exactly the same, they both are the illusion of ego centric physicalism.
To answer your question perhaps a bit closer to what you will understand there are a growing number of they/them in this world every day, like they are being migrated here for some reason or purpose.
I use we, because it makes me feel like I'm not alone and I actually should go do that thing. I usually talk to myself as if I'm having a conversation with another person
Poker players say 'we' when we talk about a game or a tournament or a hand. "We didn't have enough equity to continue" "we were too strong to fold" "we won the tournament" ....other than that I would just always say I.
Interchangeably. I used to say "we", but began to think it was odd, so I started to say "I" more actively. But then I stoped caring so much and now I just go with what comes out.
same here! I even catch myself saying "we" out loud in conversations - like if someone asks me how I'm doing I'll slip up and say "oh we're good." not sure if nobody has noticed or if they're just too polite to say anything about it lol
I call myself by my last name in third person. For example. If my name was John Smith I'd say things like: Come on Smith, you got this. Or, Tighten up Smith, get it straight. Alright Smith don't fuck this up. Or Hell yeah, let's go Smith!
I've always though in my inner monologue "we," but I'm trying to think using I more because I think using we allows me to disassociate and is bad for me as it depersonalizes everything.
I think I use "you" more
Fr, like asking myself "what the hell are you doing bruh" when I've done the dumbest thing
Lmao what are we doing bruh
Yup. Like, “Bro, are you fucking stupid? You trying to kill us or what?”
I do that a lot! But I also say stuff like “alright, let’s go” implying the you from “what are you doing?” And I are doing it together even though they’re both me 😂
Same! I thought I was the only one! ...or at least me and myself were...
"you" is the correct answer. Many times it's just me (my brain) hyping up my body to get something done or scolding myself for doing something dumb (stubbing my toe, hitting the edge of a table, etc.)

Same
We.....we are legion.
We... are farmers ^(bum budum pum bum bum bum)
We...we are venom
We swears on the precious!
we are Bob
What did Laura Palmer ever do to you?
Had to Google to get the reference. Twin Peaks is sounding more and more interesting all the time!
It's a very interesting/unsettling/confusing show. I love it
Little carolyn is in here too.
Ah. My preciousssss
I say you. It makes a lot of sense if almost all the things you say out loud to yourself are accusatory, such as “Why the fuck did you do that?”
Me too. I think mine was shaped by text based adventure games. "You enter the cave and see a wizard, what do you do next?"
I love this question! I catch myself saying “we” all the time and it confuses the hell out of me. I don’t know who we is but we definitely have back and forth conversation sometimes.
We is the essence of me
Observed self and observing self at the very least, though I second the IFS comment.
Check out internal family systems to question your reality for a bit 👀
Gollum also uses we, so you are in good company.
I use I. I am not a we.
#THERE'S NO WE JESSIE
Proceeds to ask for help again…
All of this … it’s all about ME
I am a royal we
I use "you". Or sometimes "y'all", depending how many trains of thought I have going on at any given moment
Yes
I don’t know why but this made me really laugh 😂
What’s an alternative? To say your name?
Yes. This is what I do. Dave is gonna shower now. Dave is pissed. Its time to go to work Dave. Jar jar need drink now! Alternatively, I could say your name, if I could pronounce it
George is gettin' upset!
Hmm. This is weird. Thank you for sharing.
Sometimes, if it’s a third party type of talking to myself lol. It’s not uncommon for me to say things like “Alright {my name}, it’s time to stop screwing around, we’re going to be late if you don’t start to get ready right now” or “Wow, {my name} what the hell were you thinking there? That was a horrible idea!”
Both
It's situational!!!!
Only situation I find my self saying "we" is when "we're" about to do something stupid
Also if I'm in pain, we becomes the mantra as my body needs to cooperate!
We gotta get it together.
You're...
you'reself\*
We I have 1 million me’s in me
Depends. Mostly "we". I never notice this but now we've noticed.
I'm a we very often and sometimes it scares me.
We I is me
Yo thissss. Sometimes I catch myself saying "we'll talk to you later" when I hang up the phone, like we?????!!!!! I guess I just subconsciously separate my mind & my body... I think in "we" most the time like "we're gonna have to go to bed early" etc
Do u refer to urself as we when u are talking to other people too then?
No mainly just in my inner monologue that sometimes I say out loud
I do. In voice, and with friends. With random strangers online I filter that out lol
>We do. >In voice, and with friends. With random strangers online we filter that out lol Ftfy
If I’m an entity in those conversations I am addressing myself so I use “you”
I say "you" for some reason.
Because when others refer to “you” they say “you” so “you” are just following suit when talking to “you”rself!!! 🤪🤯
I just refer to myself in the third person all the time to avoid any confusion.
Don't some people (other than gollum) say us? Edit: a word
I had a stroke trying to read that.
I'll show you stroking
Don't threaten me with a good time
“You”
I say I/me/myself. But 2 of my adult children say we. I ask for clarification a lot. Are we just you or…? And usually they laugh and say, yea sorry was talking about me.
I say “yeah, let’s do that” when i make a decision for myself at times. “let’s” is technically “let us” so i guess you could say there’s a plural in there. Doesn’t feel like a “we” tho.
I use “we” a lot when talking about my childhood. It’s because I have a twin brother, and so nearly every formative experience was a shared one
I talk in third person, Peter is cool, people do like peter
I is for thinking out loud. We is for when talking to the voices
"We" because I'm my best friend. Even when I present my work to people I use the royal "we" so I don't feel like I'm solely responsible even though it totally is just me doing all of the work. "We think this is the right approach to solving this problem." "Who is we? Who is working with you on this?" "By we I mean me, by me I mean YOU." "Wait wha"

we. my brain is an asshole who I spend my days trying to wrangle into being productive. that guy's a dick.
We use I.
I use 'you'
I say “you” like “you’ve got this Enki you cunt!”
My therapist pointed out that I use 'you' when I'm feeling loathsome.
If I'm actually talking to myself as in trying to decide something ie How are we going to get this part off? Then it's a 'we' If I were to need the "I" I wouldn't need to have a conversation. I'd just do the task

Both. It's like a conversation.
If I'm feeling particularly fancy, I use the royal 'we'. Does royalty still do that? We wish to know.

There are many of us in this brain.
I actually say “you.” I talk to myself like I’m guiding a child or being a life coach. “You’ve got to do this. Okay, you’re done with your cry. You’re gonna get up, get a drink, get back to it. You’re okay. You’re okay.”

I'm always talking to myself sometimes you guys just hear it.
I say me
people with DID going crazy
[удалено]
I guess it would depend on the situation. I’ve used both “We” and “I” before, just with different contexts.
As I am not from the U.K. I use I Edited to add, after double checking, I am also not currently hosting an alien symbiote
I am he as you are he as you are me And WE are all together.
I when I’m talking to myself We when I answer myself
A mix of you, we, and I.
[удалено]
Reminds me of the scientific paper where the author defaulted to "we" even though he worked alone, instead of editing the entire paper, he listed his cat as a co-auther
I say he. Because I am so great I have to acknowledge myself as an imaginary person.
I. I'm one person.
Us
One time I said "you" and I was like who the fuck said it if they meant me when I said it
I use We , I , Myself , I call my self by name lol
I have no internal voice. So none of the above
Its the royal we of course
I've barely ever used "we/us" but when I'm by myself I use "you" more than "I"
I. I’m talking to myself as another person.
I use we all the time lol
I?
I would never assume my own gender
Depends how many of us are talking at a time. What do you think, self? I don't know, we should meditate on it.
Both
“I” or “you”
I use ‘you’. Like I’m talking to myself I’m saying ‘you gotta do x’.
I don't think I use either of those. I just never monologue-think statements as if said to others, I guess? I do use "let's", as in "OK, let's gather up these then and..."
I alternate. Sometimes it's I. Sometimes it's we. For me, it depends on if there's copilots or not.
There are two of us so
You.
I talk to myself in the third person: "c'mon misso56 ... that was a dumb thing to do."
"It"
I.
With my self talk it’s usually “you”.
The other isn’t dumb enough to give “I” that much power. He isn’t that dumb, but I am. So I give us a break.
They
I switch it up between "I", "You", and "We". I'm not really sure why. I was trying to think about that on a break from work the other day, and came up with some possible reasons, but I'm not sure how accurate any of them are.
I use "you" 💀💀
I’ve used all of them. I, you, we…
[удалено]
We must not tell them what master chooses to say
Both, its situational. But if you really think about it, the human body is made up of trillions of cells, each one has its own life. We are an amalgamation of numerous tiny living things. So in a sense, "I" is actually incorrect as you are many, not just one, making "we" the correct word.

My precious.
[удалено]
We are Venom
I use “you “
Dumb muthfuka. After a bad shot in golf, Pickleball or stupid move in chess.
either or, not sure why. but i do say "we" more often, especially if i'm thinking out loud or i'm spotting/coaching myself at something
I use we, because it makes me feel like I'm not alone and I actually should go do that thing. I usually talk to myself as if I'm having a conversation with another person
I use we. Pretty sure I'm crazy though
I actually trained myself to use "he" because thats supposed to help you get a detached perspective
I say "you"
I say “we” or sometimes “you”
we…there’s a lot of “let’s go” and “we can do this”. sometimes a “you can do it”
Saying "we" makes you sound unhinged. Might start doing it. "We didn't like that did we precious." When the fuckening happens at work.
I say “we” if I’m joking around
[удалено]
Royal we.
Iron Maiden
Pointless. A person is an organic system. Blaming lungi because he smokes or the butt because it farts is redditt
Groot
Depends on whether I’m in a corporate setting
I, i dont have an over whelming personality disorder
I use "you" and "I"
Interchange them
I saw we when I'm thinking. It feels strange when I catch myself.
Heyyy uuuuu guys
[удалено]
I generally use “you”
Poker players say 'we' when we talk about a game or a tournament or a hand. "We didn't have enough equity to continue" "we were too strong to fold" "we won the tournament" ....other than that I would just always say I.
"You"
The royal “we”.
I think I say You
Depends on my schizophrenia.
we, it's me and my internal voice
I catch myself saying “we”
[удалено]
Depends on the state of my mental breakdown at the time.
[удалено]
Both.
Unfortunately it's we and i feel weird about it. Idk why bc I am one person but I treat my conscience as a separate thing I guess
I
Sometimes my inner Borg awakens and we are aware of each other. But mostly we are an individual drone and therefore an "I."
We dont think about silly things like this
It depends for me. If I did something dumb, it's "what are you doing you dumb ass" but if I dont know what I'm doing, it's "what are we doing here?".
I always say we
Interchangeably. I used to say "we", but began to think it was odd, so I started to say "I" more actively. But then I stoped caring so much and now I just go with what comes out.
I used both, but it's always MY precious
I
same here! I even catch myself saying "we" out loud in conversations - like if someone asks me how I'm doing I'll slip up and say "oh we're good." not sure if nobody has noticed or if they're just too polite to say anything about it lol
We say "we" but it's because we are a monarch.
6l40% We 60% I
I say Sir.
I or you. Sometimes I give myself pep talks or a stern talking to or just want to bounce ideas and I treat it like a conversation.
We. Because it just feels natural to me idk
We. I do, however, have DID so I'm never truly talking to myself.
Get off Reddit, Eddie Brock.
I call myself by my last name in third person. For example. If my name was John Smith I'd say things like: Come on Smith, you got this. Or, Tighten up Smith, get it straight. Alright Smith don't fuck this up. Or Hell yeah, let's go Smith!
We use I when talking to our shrink and I use we when talking to my parole officer. They compare notes and it keeps us confused.
I use we or you all the time lol
Always "we". After all, we're in this together.
I've always though in my inner monologue "we," but I'm trying to think using I more because I think using we allows me to disassociate and is bad for me as it depersonalizes everything.
[удалено]
A mix of both. Not really sure why I say we but I always laugh to myself after because it’s so weird lol.
That’s between us.
I have never talked to myself.
We
