No it is not. It is a very natural thing to do.

it's not natural to talk to yourself in the room, the street or even outside.

I was born and raised on the streets...When j say street,I mean a real ghetto street...But thanks to my mom of blessed memory who made sure we were never influenced by the negative vibes that comes forth with street credibility....Only my immediate elder bro couldn't escape it cuz that nigha is as rugged as shiit . But the few street credibility I learned after my mom's demise has really helped in shaping my life up....... Nothing dey as sweet as being street-wise..............The advantages are just too numerous when compared to a kid that was born and raised in house made of glass.

Well, my wife of 25 yrs, here in the USA yeap 25 years !!! always says I don't know how to be romantic. My answer has always been the same. I am a product of my environment my late Dad was married to four women at the same time. and not once did I ever see him being romantic. I am an Ijebu man being romantic is something I was never taught. I was taught how to be a man, take care of my family, my children, and be responsible. What could be more romantic than that !!!

My dad a deeper life man that’ll beat me to pulp for watching tv or letting my younger brother watch tV in the neighbors house. He wouldn’t listen to me one bit, always reporting my stubbornness to youth leader. That till date makes me hate deeperlife

It's okay to talk to yourself. Actually, talking to oneself is a great sign of intelligence if I remember correctly. I talk a lot to myself by the way.

As for your parents, they probably got no love from their parents and that's why they are the way they are. Your mom's obsession with money is unhealthy and that too probably ties back to her past when she was probably extremely poor.
Keep on striving to be better.

Google is your friend, my dear elder brother.

Though I started experiencing my it in my early teens; I was always escaping sexual abuses...thanks be to God who never allowed it to transcend from sexual harassment to sexual abuse...before finding one way or the other to stop it....there are times I have ignorantly allowed adult ladies and guys to touch and grope me inappropriately, or carresses, they jokingly call you their husband, for the guys, takes a special liking to you, favor you and do other stuffs for you...all in a bid to gratify their cravings, what do I know...was very very ignorant....I don't wanna talk of how I escaped sodomy several times from these guys when we relocated to Asaba......


Mehn, all of these impaired my impression about sex and relationship, even my self-esteem.

I became very suspicious of every person who has an interest in me.
Once someone shows an interest in me, male or female, weather for friendship or relationship, the first thing that occurs to me is that their interest is basically a sexual interest.



So I kinda unconsciously built a 'do not approach' atmosphere that tend to chase people away from me, I became so introverted and timid...the list goes on and on.

I do really hope to snap out of it, because for sure, that is not what I was as a kid...but my teenage experience impaired my personality so much. God help me.
