    I think that getting into an argument with yourself may qualify. And if you lose that argument, well . . .

    Talking to yourself is never a problem. It is just thinking out loud. Talking to people who are not there, that is a mental issue.

  • Talking to yourself, in and of itself, does not constitute a mental disorder.
