Ok, first off the heading is going to absolutely stun my long time friend and co-worker because the two of us worked with a bat shit crazy nut bar who not only talked to herself but she talked to her computer monitor, her stapler, her lunch and I am pretty sure a few imaginary friends. (Note - we did not work in the same office with her for long. Sure Lee and I made it our goal to make it her goal to find another office to temp at. Statute of Limitations is done on that crime baby!) This post does not apply to crazy people who need to be institutionalized. It only applies to those of us who are crazy and manage to stay outta the bin.
So when it is ok to talk out loud to yourself? Well, I have been perusing the old Facebook as of late and the stuff that gets posted on there is sometimes nothing short of ridiculous. Of course, I don't have three thousand friends and I am loser enough to have Runners World on my Facebook, however at least half the time I find myself scoffing and muttering "who gives a crap" or "really, someone give me my five seconds back that it took me to look at that post". That got me to thinking that it might be all good and healthy to rant a little every day at Facebook. It's far better than telling people what you really think when you get out into the big, big world. (Rant at home people. Not in the grocery store, the bank or seriously not in your car. That's just dumb and you will get a ticket. Big, ugly, expensive ticket!) Think of it as therapy. Really, really cheap therapy - of course as long as you don't rage out and chuck your phone or ipad. (Don't do that either.) Remember that old adage about the tree, the forest and people hearing the thing fall ...... or not hearing it? Well this is the new tree/forest/hard of hearing thing: If the pissed off person yells at Facebook posts in their home does anyone know they are crazy? I think not! And hey, I didn't hear that tree fall, did you?
