things u refer to urself as

WAIT WAIT WAIT I DO THIS ????

my brain gives me random nicknames when referring to myself in my constant never ending internal monologue regularly and it’s often how I get ideas for sona names. Cascade was used veeery often so I decided to make it my main sona’s surname. Stray (or The Stray) is also used very often, which I eventually ended up using in The Reject and The Stray as a nickname for the cat. I know Daze (which I gave to THREE sonas) and Maze have been used before. I have a bad memory so I may be forgetting some. OH I’ve referred to myself as Dear Intent or Dearetine before and I don’t quite know why?? word I made up both referring to myself and other things / concepts that I also gave to the most influential descendant of the Nightwell family. I don’t quite know what it means lol or why my brain chose it along with everything else here. except for Daze which was definitely Kagerou Project and Maze which is definitely a rip-off of Daze. Cascade may have been based off my real-life name but I’m not sure.

I don’t do it out loud, only in my internal monologue but I think that counts??

OH AND I ALSO KINDA DO THE STREAM THING but more often I constantly make YouTube videos in the brain but no words ever leave my mouth because internal monologue. I do sometimes make facial expressions though haha or at least move my eyes around to look at the direction I’m looking at in my fake YouTube video. that is probably unrelated but I thought I’d share it hkfhfkfhk.

I'm sort of the same as Placophobia with this. Sometimes, usually in my head and not out loud, I'll pretend I'm streaming my life or something. I find this happens a lot when I'm feeding my pets or playing a game, it's just sort of a weird habit of mine lol. As a specific example I sometimes have inner monologue in my head when picking each of my toads to feed, like "here's Bambous" and "here's Ruth" as I grab them and sometimes give facts about them lol. I think I also occasionally brainstorm video essay ideas in my head to sort of get thoughts flowing. I don't even make video essays but I guess watching a lot of them just did that to me, lol.

Anyway, I don't really refer to myself at all I don't think. It's sort of like I'm jumping right into it with no introduction of myself; no nicknames, nothing. Then again I have some trouble deciding on a name I like to refer to myself with (at least online, anyway) so maybe that has something to do with it.

OKAY THIS IS REALLY FUNNY IJSUT . I call myself swagmaster a lot . also I talk to myself in the shower a lot because I cannot stand silence and I'll just refer to myself as whatever my user is (it was kimiuchi for a while so usually kimiuchi)

another one is just. stupid boy. like I'll b talking abt myself and be like "oh yeah stupid boy dropped his spoon. awesome"

it's mosttly just swagmaster though .yeha .

OH ALSO THE STREAMER THING. I do that a Lot. like I'll be talking to just one other person and be like "guys help" or "chat what did I just Do". I also just? randomly act like I'm streaming a lot? (especially in the shower, we don't talk abt how my shower time consists of me just talking to myself abt my own ocs and other things).

The person who's almost aways going to have Lilina Fire Emblem as their icon

@ suta : same here wtf I'm finally not alone :0

It's always "you", "you dumbass", "stupid b" or other derogatory terms, there are another nicer voice too but he rarely show up and is also an older dude so we don't talk that much. The thing is- the voices is almost exclusively in english and it's contributing to me forgetting vocabularies from my native tongue i swear 🙏  I also struggled so much in elementary bc home girl haven't discovered how to do inner monologue yet and keep whispering to herself scenarios and shit out loud. I do it at night too but luckily my parent didn't notice or their prejudiced ass would have throw me into psych ward 😂

I don't do it in a gaming way though.. Me personally, I just imagine myself talking about my OCs and answering questions about them (like a Q&A/interview which I want to be able to do once I, you know, have a fanbase).. and when I'm drawing I imagine myself talking to an audience throughout the process as if it's like one of those artist live streams. I really want to be able to do those things one day so that's why.. But I thought it was unhealthy so I tried to un-learn the ability to do it so now I don't anymore =( Looking through this thread makes me wish I never stopped, because other people do it too and it's not weird.. dangit.. 

Btw I think there's a term for this, it's called maladaptive daydreaming.

I’m always in my head thinking to myself, but I also get really vocal while doing things such as playing video games, drawing, watching YouTube, and probably the weirdest thing, but… showering? Like when I shower I have full on conversations with myself or like I flesh out a full side story for characters and sometimes even myself. It only ever happens when I’m completely alone though, and I never really connected that with my ADHD/autism, which is really interesting to me. Then again, my diagnoses were relatively recent so I’m finding out a lot of things I did/still do is related to that stuff.

Anyways yes I have nicknames for myself that I often cycle through, and it usually depends on what I’m doing or what just happened around me. For example, if I die in a video game I often call myself “big dumb stupid” or “stupid idiot baby” whereas when I do something right or figure out a puzzle solution of something I call myself “big brain” or “big smart human person”

I call myself the end prince or end father because I'm an enderman!

for username, I call myself saidomas!

Don't fully understand this thread (I'm not a gamer and I'm my only audience) but I often think of/mentally refer to myself as an amoeba because I'm just this fat blobby unattractive nonfeminine nonmasculine thing that no other description aptly fits.

Others have often referred to me as landwhale, sea cow, things such as that, so I mentally refer to myself as those too.

I feel incredibly uncomfortable being referred to by my real name (Rachel) online, though I can't explain why this is. When I sign my rare e-mails I debate whether they should be signed with my real name or username, and it's strange because both of them feel like frauds. In fact, people referring to me directly by any name makes me uncomfortable. :/

I refer to myself in the third person, so sometimes I'll just say "Navy's (object) or say "Navy (this)"

Not a fellow neu, but myself and everybody I know do this.

”You”, “You dumbass”, ”My name, are you sure about this?”, third person, “Bambi”, “Fatass”, “Mom/Daddy”, “Alpha“. The last is to my dogs, like in convos between me and them. Like “You know, your alpha is not happy right now. Look at this face, is this a happy face, lets not discus this anymore”. They are just happy I am talking to them though. xD Talking in third person is mostly what I do, I just get things done faster that way at home. But I dont recommend voting (About stuff at home), because at some point you will start to piss yourself off. xD
