Why I’m ten years old in my head and men check me out at traffic lights for the wrong reasons

Why I’m ten years old in my head and men check me out at traffic lights for the wrong reasons

LCan we talk about the fact that I spend most of my life talking to myself?


And I don’t mean the occasional little chat.


I mean full conversations.


With hand gestures.


Facial expressions.


Different voices.


The lot.


The other day I was sat at the traffic lights having a full conversation with myself.


Honestly, it was Oscar-worthy.


I was explaining things.


Arguing points.


Making dramatic gestures.


Basically hosting my own podcast before I’d even got to work.


Then I noticed somebody in the car next to me looking over.


For a split second, my brain went:


“Oh my God, are they checking me out?” 😏


Then I remembered that inside my head live an 8-year-old and a 10-year-old who are largely unsupervised and make most of the decisions.


The confidence lasted about three seconds.


Then reality arrived.


And I realised they were probably looking at me because I’d been performing a one-woman show at a set of traffic lights.


Honestly, if anybody had muted the audio, it probably looked like I was negotiating a hostage situation.


Please tell me I’m not the only neurodivergent person who has entire conversations with themselves in the car.


Because at this point, I spend more time talking to imaginary people than real ones. 😭😂
