English and a language that's highly inflective and flexible. So I can't decide if it's worse than C++, but that still seems unlikely.
The upside is that a handful of swearword roots produce a vast array of actual meanings. And, we have compound swearings too! Stuff like ‘ballscockwhore cuntfuck’ is entirely possible, with shades of meaning even.
I had to give up talking via swearing at a previous job, because I realized I had trouble coming up with regular words for the things I meant.
Dude you're not alone, talk to myself all the time. When I am caught I just tell people I was needing an expert opinion. Its gets a good laugh and people don't think I'm crazy. Agatha Christina would play out the dialog in her novels to herself outloud. Most people with an active imagination does this.
Do people really not talk to themselfs? They should! It's not "crazy" if you know there isn't another person there. But it's ok to think out loud. It's even good because sometimes you can hear how you sound and change. I like it and this is a type of self therapy
Yup, I’ve always externalized my thoughts when alone. Got teased for it occasionally when I was caught, but always seemed weird to me that people don’t. One of the many reasons I’m probably on the spectrum, but it’s not causing any harm.
Cinematography and geopolitical effects of mountainous terrain rainfall on world building stories. Also making ways of tricking people into reading the book about potatoes.
Not many people have done that so you'd no longer be worthless, and you'd be a hideous monstrosity and hideous monstrosities have shock value so you'd have value, too.
Aside from work, most of the talking I do at home is joking around with my cat. He has no idea what the fuck is going on but I crack myself up and he meows his little heart out like he's watching John Mulaney
4, because I work partly remote so there have been occasions where I have no reason to leave the house or see another person for four days. I’m introverted so it’s kind of nice, but it’s probably not healthy
Edit: and my dog is not mine: I share custody with my ex (it’s actually her dog) so that’s only half a week
I battled severe depression, drug/alcohol abuse/addiction. I was living in the Colorado rockies in the cold mountains with out connection to civilization for weeks on end... im unofficially on rhe spectrum too. I think ive gone a couple days saying nothing, definitely.
When I moved to my current house, my wife and kid were at our previous house for a while. I deliberately chose this house for its isolation, so for a while the only people I really spoke to were local cashiers every few days. (Side note: my kid was three at the time and had left a toy triceratops on the back of one of the commodes the day we signed for the house. I never thought a toilet would make me miss someone so much.)
Anyway, I work remotely and had a daily virtual meeting. Most days, that meeting was the first and last time I spoke. I also had some kind of long lived sinus infection going on, so not only did I speak pretty rarely, until I opened my mouth I wasn't even sure if I'd have a voice that day.
That would never be me. I'm constantly talking to myself. People think I'm crazy, but I think I'm just bursting with ideas!
Yeah I talk to myself and my cat way too much, I actually talk more when I'm alone than I do when someone else is around.
I get lots of questioning looks in the grocery stores cause I didn't make a list and have to tell myself, audible, that I didn't need the cookies.
It would be me, except I swear a lot under my breath when I run into problems with software or things. In two languages simultaneously, even.

Now @BetaBlake is silent because of your "you are not alone"
Nah, I talk the most when I am alone.

What do you guys talk about?
Cinematography and geopolitical effects of mountainous terrain rainfall on world building stories. Also making ways of tricking people into reading the book about potatoes.
I'm open to being tricked into reading about potatoes...
mostly about how much I hate myself and I'm worthless, but in a casual, non mean way.
You should cut your face off and eat it.
Not many people have done that so you'd no longer be worthless, and you'd be a hideous monstrosity and hideous monstrosities have shock value so you'd have value, too.
Great advice
Ah, can't wait to imagine some AI will promote your advice to someone! XD
real
Apparently, you don't own a cat.
Do you not cat?
This is why I stopped by. Cat on my friend. PssssPssss
I cannot relate. I live with my GF but even if she leaves for the night I'll start talking to my self somehow.
Step one, get a girlfriend
That's too many steps, I'll just stick to talking with the voices in my head
*fucking
How sure are you that you're her only boyfriend?
For months at a time unfortunately! Lmfao- Use the phone+ call friends and family- people aren't around forever
You lucky BS bastards... And I have to answer the same question to my kid every 5 seconds.
Because I said so
shakes vigorously
DADDY! Why?
You don't talk to yourself?
Of course I do, sometimes I need expert advice!
Lived alone during COVID.
Went months
Glad I'm not that weirdo. I'll still talk to my cat.

Custody with a dog T-T AND YOU WERNET EVEB MARRIED.
No because I have a job and leave my house.
I always talk to my cats
This is why cats exist
I have a remote work job. Sometimes,I don’t talk to another human for many days. It doesn’t bother me too much:
I talk to my dogs. Honestly, my dogs have probably kept me alive and well as much as I keep them alive and well.
when I was a bachelor. what bachelor hasn't.
Nope, I talk to my dog and three times a day we walk around the block and inevitably someone will wave and say hello

I would imagine one would curse a lot in that situation.. We are not the same!
I solve this problem by occasionally yelling at bafflingly stupid current events, as recounted by various youtubers/podcasts.
Gotta keep up that ability to insult on the fly.
Stretch those creativity brain pathways, in addition to your vocal cords.
Either that or cursing myself out for writing bafflingly bad code, from time to time.
... Less insanely, I also sing, and... have neighbors I talk to, go outside from time to time, chat up randos.
I have an internal monologue nearly all the time.
Sometimes I just outwardly verbalize it.
Got too many vocal cats I talk back to. Don't think I can go an hour unless I'm sleeping.
They don't even need to be vocal, sometimes they're just sitting there and I go "¿¿¿QUÉ PASA???"
I don't even speak Spanish man
I like speaking farci or erdu to mine(not a brag, I'm not fluent in either)
If I didn't talk to myself out loud or use voice-to-text on my phone to leave internet comments, I'd be on day 5 of vocal silence right now.
I'm highly reclusive, so this happens a lot.
Also, you apparently have a sore throat. Who knew?
Back when I was single, that happened often during my vacations
not alone but forgetting how to talk. quit answering phone
Yes. Or the only words I've said aloud were Insane Clown Posse lyrics.
I have gone days without talking to other people but I don't think I've ever gone a waking hour without talking.
I find myself talking to my terminal out loud

I got this killer up inside me. I can’t talk to my mother, so I talk to my diary.
