It doesn’t mean you’re crazy. In fact, it can help you clarify your thoughts, shake off stress, and boost your mood.
I talk to myself. Out loud. A lot. And when I don’t, I’m like an athlete who can’t practice his sport or a musician denied time with her instrument.
When you talk to yourself, you’re paying attention to someone who often gets short shrift in your life: you. If you berate yourself for behaving idiotically or painfully regret something you’ve done, obviously your self-talk is going to make you feel worse. But if you get a good dialogue going between you and yourself, you can make real headway in clarifying your thoughts and even lifting your mood. I’d go so far as to say the practice is a form of mindful self-compassion.
Here are a few things self-talk can do for you:

1 . Give yourself a shoutout . Even if no one else seems to be appreciating you at the moment, compliment yourself on the way you handled a difficult situation, left your comfort zone for a new adventure, or just got through a busy day.
2 . Give yourself a pep talk . We could all use a motivational speaker from time to time, but we don’t always have one handy. Self-talk can help you motivate
yourself to achieve a goal at work, in a relationship, or in your personal behavior.
3 . Debate both sides of a difficult decision . Saying your options out loud and elaborating on the pros and cons can help bring the right choice to light, and you might be surprised at the unexpected direction your thoughts take when they’re audible.
4 . Blow off steam. If you’re not the type to confront people who tick you off, talk to yourself about how they bother you or how unfair a situation is. Introverts are especially prone to missing opportunities to assert themselves. Put the “self” back in self-assertion.
5 . Understand your thoughts better . Sometimes we’re sure we think one way, but our psyche tells us differently. Have you ever found yourself crying when you didn’t think anything was wrong? That’s your subconscious letting you know. Invite it to join your conversation to bring you to new levels of self-awareness.
6 . Rehearse a difficult conversation . Practicing what you need to say to get your points across clearly and without anger will put you in a much better position when it comes time to communicate about a tough issue.
7 . Boost your memory. Research shows that saying the location out loud when you place an object will help you remember where you put it.
8 . Shake off stress and anxiety . Who couldn’t use one more way to get rid of stress? Work it through with a monologue.
9 . Improve attention span and concentration . Indeed, many people with ADD talk to themselves to help bring a tangle of thoughts into focus. Notice how often you see athletes muttering under their breath before an event; they’re calming themselves down (# and pumping themselves up (#2). It works.

The best place to talk to yourself is when you're alone o! Otherwise, trust me, people'll think you're about to run mad. Lol. Except if you're a superstar like Mohammed Ali who'd shout "I am the greatest!!!" while people cheered him on.

And the best way to talk to yourself is by making positive declarations about yourself early in the morning and late at night before sleeping. There's a term Norman Vincent Peale used to describe it in his best-selling book The Power of Positive Thinking. Can't remember it now. Christ Embassy also uses the positive self-talk a lot. They even have a section dedicated to it in their daily devotional Rhapsody of Realities. I used to be one of them, so I know. Lol.

I agree that saying positive words to yourself really helps to condition the mind and boost self-confidence.
