A recent investigation by 20 Minutes explores the behavior of people who frequently comment aloud on their actions, a phenomenon described by psychologist Gérard Poussin as "soliloquie." This behavior involves individuals vocalizing their thoughts, actions, or feelings, often without realizing how disruptive it can be to others. For instance, one colleague is said to comment on every click of the computer mouse as if they are the only person present, while another coworker habitually announces every completed task with phrases like "ça, c'est fait" (that’s done), which can be bothersome to those nearby. According to Gérard Poussin, this behavior is typically a habit rather than a disorder and is not necessarily serious, though it can be very annoying to others. He explains that everyone engages in self-talk to some degree, but the brain usually only verbalizes what is necessary. When people speak their thoughts aloud unnecessarily, it may reflect a lack of semi-conscious control, though it is generally not a cause for concern unless it is linked to underlying psychiatric conditions. For some, this behavior can be so disruptive that they take steps to avoid it. One person moved to a different part of the office to distance themselves from a colleague who constantly vocalized their actions. Others, like Steph, find it amusing when it's a family member, though they admit it can be irritating in certain situations. On a Reddit forum discussing the topic, users shared their experiences. One person described their work environment as ideal when the individual in question is not present, highlighting how disruptive the behavior can be. Another user admitted to talking to themselves aloud, explaining that it helps them process thoughts when their brain is stuck on an idea. However, they also noted that it becomes distracting when others do the same, and they speculated that it might be related to ADHD.
