People look at me like I'm insane for it. Why don't you take my place? Talk to me if you're so bothered by it. They think I'm on drugs or something. I don't take those kinds of drugs and I don't have schizophrenia. Stuff like that runs in the family but I don't have symptoms. Nurses and my mother have accused me of having delusions and hallucinations. They're all idiots.

I personally wouldn't care about what others think but wearing wired earphones in public might help with people looking at you weird. That way they would assume you are on a call or something.

God, I remember when I first saw someone speak into a Bluetooth device a long time ago. This was one of those in the EAR bt devices. I had no idea that he had a Bluetooth device. This man was just standing in the middle of the room and animatedly talking and gesturing. I thought he was absolutely nuts. Then once he turned around, I could see the device inside his ear. I got all sweaty in those couple of minutes.
As long as someone like me is not in the vicinity, you should be good.
Just wear earphones.

I was sweating so hard. Seriously. I thought I'd better go say hello to this fellow SASU member so that he'll spare me at least. As I got up, he turned and I saw his bt device.Went back to my seat.
Lol I talk to myself in public too, sometimes because of maladaptive daydreaming, sometimes because I tend to have whole TED talks in my head. Face masks during the pandemic was a great, people couldn't see so clearly that I was talking to myself. Personally I think people should be able to talk to themselves in public if they want to, it can be a great way to work through your thoughts.

Lol i do this too sometimes i sing to myself on the street sometimes i talk with my tulpas at the grocery store sometimes i just talk to myself like im recording a video when im walking home who even cares im not hurting anyone. Perhaps they should work on becoming more secure instead of gawking at whoever dares to do what they truly want when they want it.
People have a habit of pathologising everything without taking the time to understand it. I dont think this is schizoI have had full-blown conversations with myself while walking down the sidewalk. Been waiting at the corner to cross and turned to see someone standing there. At first I was embarrassed and then I realized there was no consequence to it. If it helps me think, why not?
