Hell I have conversations with people all the time without them participating.

I predict their answers and often get into arguements with them.

I dont know if its the depression as I dont seem to do it when im more stable.

I argue with the automated cashier at the grocery store. It doesn't argue back...so that's good.

I have talked to myself my whole life, --but I do it as though someone is there listening......

I know no one is there. I've always done it, and only when I'm alone.

I talk to my two mice a lot and often talk to my dead ex and talk to myself all the time.

answer to your question being: no.
am glad you realize that you do this and that you dont see nor hear people that arnt anywhere near.

rescue a pup or dog to have as a companion.

Have you spoken with therapest or pdoc to find out as to why you do this & have conversations w yourself ?
