I've always talked to myself in my head but recently I noticed that I'm talking to myself out loud. My mom has caught me a bunch of times. Is talking to yourself out loud without noticing normal?

If you talk to yourself without imagining or believing that other people are there answering you or communicating with you, it is okay. Many people have the habit of talking with themselves loudly. Also, if talking to yourself makes your life easier by helping you figure certain problems or analyze an issue or express a feeling that is fine also. It is also believed that talking to oneself can relieve loneliness and if used to analyze or organize thoughts it can make a person smarter.
