Yes. I do it to express my thoughts to myself. But, people around won't notice except you come close, and when I notice people, I stop talking.

Not always though.

I have same problem. But I try to keep it at home, in my room. I empty my mind when in public. I still talk to myself in public at night tho. That way, no one can see my face.

It's an Ogbanje Spirit

I am afraid you are incorrect!

None of what the OP stated ring as symptoms of any mental illness. Just because I can laugh/smile, have conversations with my own self does not mean it is a result of mental illness. I am happier than most is all, my happiness still intact even when I am alone is what that means..

When you go through DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) which is the guide for diagnosis, the symptoms are clearly there.

Sure, the DSM-5. So what particular illnesses in the DSM-5 do the "symptoms" listed by the OP belong to?

I think it does matter... People would avoid you , if somebody finds your trouble and you retailate they will say , he done start again
