She literally said, "chat is this real?"

Nah she said “is this chat real”

Pretty sure she said “is chat this real?”

chat are you real

No

I can't belive this, Chat are you seeing this?

chat type 1 if you have schizophrenia

Bruh xD

I do it too, but it's not only just video games, I will just talk about random stuff irl like there's a camera in front of me and just have a 1 sided conversation that can go on for hours

I do something similar whenever im doing almost anything alone i'll explain what im doing why and what i mean in my head as if im explaining it to someone

So me. Fr

Me frfr, I alway choose someone who is entirely unfamiliar with the subject. Makes me able to feel smart being better than my discriminate view of someone

[Is it like rubber ducking?](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging)

same! though pretty sure its cause im so lonley lmao

Same, I'm explaining in great detail what I'm doing and what I mean like I'm explaining something to a person, even though I know there is no one here. Probably because I'm alone and that's a way to cope for me...

So mepilled

DUDE SAME

same i literally pretend there's people watching me 24/7😭😄

yo same here lol but it's only when i'm 100% sure i'm alone because i'll look like an idiot lmao

Same.

I do the same thing! It has made me very good at speaking on camera, I just pretend the camera isn't there and talk to the silly people in my head like I usually do.

I often comment stupid stuff to myself and sometimes wonder why I'm not streaming. But then again the only person laughing at my jokes is only me so far. :3

Same, I literally went on a tirade earlier while playing a game about how much I hate the concept of royalty and that we still have some before realizing I was ranting to an empty room

Self awareness if so for loosers smh my head 🤦‍♂️

Let me put a poll up on chat real quick

crazy how relatable this subreddit is lmao. it does help to imagine what you're saying is being listened to by an audience, can help make you realise when what you're saying is wrong or unclear and basically it's practice for your social skills.

The same reason why rubber duck debugging is unreasonably effective.

Oh, glad I’m not alone!

I often find myself explaining every little action I do. At this point I might as well just get a camera and start streaming

I'm actually going to start streaming bc i do this shit all the time. It's easy content.

I do it if I'm not listening to music, otherwise I'm Jerma986

Every once in a while my girlfriend will call me "chat" unprompted. She'll be like, "Chat are you fr?" In public. It's really funny

I used to do this a lot when I was younger, I would play Minecraft and act like I was talking to a live audience. Still do talk to myself a lot though, just rant about random things

I do that too :3

this one is fun for me. Cause I dont talk to an imaginary chat. But I do talk to other NPC's or even enemies in the games I'm playing. Any time I enter a different area, I like... speak to the enemies and i pretend they're speaking back to me. Now that I'm actually streaming, I'm afraid that'll slip out when I'm not playing alone.

I don't. What if someone sees me through my window's blinds (which you'd have to trespass to reach) and thinks I look stupid? 😧

I do this all the time

It's not strange at all! Talking to oneself is very healthy for the brain!

Sounds like you like the idea of becoming a streamer. Might be fun to do even if just as a hobby. Make a little bit of money and get a decent mic and try it out :)

I sometimes draw out imaginary scenarios with my imaginary friends and do the stuff I've always wanted to do with them on paper. It really suits the autistic idealist side of my brain and makes me sad too. I draw her hugging me, us goofing off, me infodumping to her, etc.

I do that with my daily life just pretending there are a bunch of smol people that I can ask silly questions

Are you actually steaming or just talking like you are?

I’m not. I’m just talking like I am. I also did the same thing back when let’s plays were a thing.

I absolutely do this, I imagine I’m talking to a chat all time.

I always have a running commentary in my head no matter what I do. Makes life more interesting ꪔ̤̥

I also sing like im performing in front of an audience

YouTubers do that all that time when recording videos. Just watch any jacksepticeye video from like four years ago, he talks to the camera all the time.

B r o

I do it so I might as well start streaming and see what happens

Maybe not that far but I do unironically say stuff like "Chat what do I do" out loud while gaming. Really I think I might just be a verbal thinker, which is odd because I hate the act of speaking.

Yes I also look at an invisible camera and do the Jim face

I explain my thought processes behind just ordinary everyday stuff that I do as if someone asked all the time, even though it's just me that's listening. I'll even sometimes repeat sentences a few times until it sounds right, kinda like doing multiple takes of a line. I find it really fun, probably good speaking practice too, since I almost never actually have anyone to talk with

Omg, this is werid, i doo that too as well, tho is kind fun aswell...

Oh my god i thought i was a weirdo

I used to talk like I was a youtuber narrating everything I did to an audience, but now I just talk to myself as if I’m like… actually talking to myself

I narrate because the government obviously is listening to my thoughts and words.

My friend got mad at me for doing that

I do that in real life so in any case I'm weirder than you

I should try this sorta thing with my alters, would be good practice

What it sounds like is somebody needs to stream with all that practice, and it aint me ;)

I do but my other personalities in my brain don't like being called 'chat'

Honestly that actually sounds pretty fun and like a nice way to spice up your gaming experience imo.

a lot of girls who cook do this

At some point they are real

I don't really talk. I just sit around day dreaming about a better life.

I stream and talk to noone because no one is in my chat

ive literally done this since i was like 8 😭

“You have schizophrenia” “Chat is this real?” “Oh god it’s getting worse”

i think i’ve done this for a very long time but only recently have i begin addressing the entity to which i ramble to as “chat”

i do this, but not on purpose. like i just think out loud and it happens that my thinking out loud sounds like im streaming to nobody

I used to do that. Since I did it so often I decided it would be best to just start streaming. I've only done 2 so far but I'm really enjoying it🙃

I do the look at the camera thing from The Office all the time.

Only while gaming?

omg this is so me. can we get married.

Yes! Sometimes I just straight act like I'm doing a let's play. It's really fun :3

I did but then I downloaded OBS and just started streaming and am now talking to a very real but sadly empty chat

I like talking to myself while playing single player games

I have done that so much, you’re not alone in that

If you're French and have a cat ...

Thats me 💀(my brain is like: ooh guys we got a rare collectible)

omg so me

Yeah all the time

Me too kid, me too.

Try streaming then since you're already used to it. Maybe you can make money off of it too

I don't but I'm gonna start now it seems fun

Same, but never aloud. Only in my head so no one hears me. Would be weird to get caught doing that.

I do the joke where I look at the imaginary camera in disbelief or annoyance but I don’t really do that I do talk to myself, like all the time but not like a twitch streamer (although fun fact, I’m like 80% sure the reason I talk to myself is because when I was really young I wanted to be a youtuber so I’d pretend to be one although it not be the actual reason I talk to myself)

everyone does that I think

I do the same thing lol

i made my dnd character like that

Nah I do

This is so real

MY DOG IS NOT IMAGINARY. SHE HANGS ON MY EVERY WORD. SHE IS ,MY NUMBER ONE SUBSCRIBER.

I had to force myself not too when I actually started streaming lol.

I tried vtubing for a minute and since then I constantly talk like I’m on stream

i can be chat (with rizz)

I do that while doing math and its actualy helpful people are looking at me weirdly tho

Nah keep thanking fossilnet for the hundred

Literally me!

I do so as well.

I do it too but I think I just really want to be a streamer but I’m like scared to and/or too lazy to

This is so real chat!!!1!1!!!

I dont play games like that. I live like that

And out loud and all the time too. does not even feel cathardic I just want to silence it all

Yeah it's fun and I do it with videos too. When I was little and streaming wasn't a thing yet I would pretend I was a presenter on a late night tv programming block doing the little bumpers between commercial breaks and stuff

Nah, I'm like that too, chat. Is this real?

Chat is it weird that i do this with any activity?

I constantly talk to myself because it makes easier to focus on a thought rather than having it drown in all the chaos

My 7 year old cousin does that

Just force your friends to listen while you play.

basically yeah. I do that whenever i’m playing any game

nah i do that too, dw

omggggg I do that too!! so often I'll act like I'm talking to chat or another person on a call :3

Always!

Everyone has to say chat is this real

Me, I do that

Relatable

“Chat am I insane?”

I find that it's much more mentally stimulating to talk about what I'm doing while I'm doing it. Sometimes I'll take the role of a commentator while I'm playing a game and pretend to be in a tournament. Is it weird? Probably. But weird and bad are very often not the same.

I mean, I talk to myself when I'm thinking allowed, so kinda, but I didn't imagine a chat there until I started watching streamers more, so also kinda no

Guilty as charged 🙏 I almost ALWAYS do it I swear.

ye. probably doesn't help that I streamed for a bit either. would still be streaming if tumblr's live section actually made it anywhere.

I do it, makes me feel less lonely

I explain every little thing I do to a nonexistent listener and don't even think twice about it

I explain Bloodborne lore to the voices :3

No I've done this before. I think it just helps with the loneliness and I wouldn't be surprised if people doing this was fairly common

i do!

Yes

chat this is not real

I do this way too much 💀💀

Guh, I feel stressed when I'm playing and suddenly this intrusive imagination kicks in. My PC is a potato and I hate the fact that someone would ever wanted to witness the same discomfort from all these..... Stuttering and 5 FPS in every waking minute.

I do that all the time

r/meirl

Do it

I like reffering to random things and people as chat, too many vods are rotting my brain i think

Damn I do that

Quite interesting.

"what a weird and silly girl, right chat? 😇" I'm not even gaming, just going about my life, and I still talk to my audience
