I did pacing inside my house like a senile zoo lion before it was cool.

Fuck all of yall I pace around my room AND talk/think to myself under my breath all the time. I go down weird fucking rabbit holes in my own mind too, but doing all of that genuinely helps me sort out and organize my thoughts on shit sometimes. I think it might be an ADD thing.

I've been a hardcore self-talker for as long as I can remember. Full on conversations with myself.
Sometimes I wonder if it's linked to actual autism or some other stupid mental health shit.

Yeah, I sometimes talk to myself also, sometime in the presence of others.
 
I live alone so I do a lot of strange things like giggling to myself randomly, randomly pacing around my house, and sometimes talking to random objects. I don't do this in public though.

Same, everyone gangsta until someone notices and asks if your okay.
 
I think back on embarrassing moments or moments I think was embarrassing and then blurt out words or sounds because of the embarrassment I'm feeling remembering the moment, then confusing people who are around me and thus creating a new embarrassing moment to look back on, its a vicious cycle.
 
So I have a list of things.

• I live alone and thusly walk around the house naked.

• Even if I am home and know I’m alone in the house I make a point to close and lock all entrances to the room I’m in.

• I feel incredibly relaxed and comfortable in dark confined spaces, especially if they’re hidden.

• I’m a people watcher and have gotten scarily good at guessing people’s age, profession, and behavior based on a quick first impression.

• My gun cabinet is also my liquor cabinet and is in arms length of my regular spot on the couch.

• I sleep on my couch despite having a hammock in my gym.

• I own a minifridge/Drinkwarmer that can only hold one to two drinks at a time.

• I like many others pace about, particularly and almost exclusively when I’m talking to people on the phone.

When I say "talking to myself", I don't mean rehearsing conversation or just musing to myself about the things I should do in the day. I'm literally holding conversations with myself as if there's another physical person there. The conversations can be about anything, though it will usually be influenced by whatever is present on my mind or if I'm watching something I find interesting. :oops:

Wow, I thought I was the only one who did this. The real question: autism or schizophrenia?

I do this when I’m drunk, usually. Sometimes I don’t even realizing I’m doing it until I’m like ten minutes into the imagined conversation.
 
Snap on the pacing and internal conversation....

Although since I spent all my time writing and cataloguing language as a kid I've since developed 'characters' who never quite decided to fuck off out of my brain.

I've got good mental imagery [ie when I imagine an apple I can see every dot and detail, the half curled crispy leaf on it etc and if I wanted I can spin it too see it from any angle and add lighting or change said apple as pleases me] so I can see the fuckers body language in my head.

Funny thing is I've been doing it so long it's a knee-jerk reflex, I don't have any say or any guess on what they'll do or say in reply to me. Which is frustrating because I KNOW I've made them up, THEY know I've made them up and it just keeps going.

I'm probably some other kind of crazy as well as autie, but this is too much a cosy livable situation to bother a quack with.

Oh yeah and I lived off of pasta and cheese for a few years.

... It's a miracle I'm here as a farmer and not a cow.
