When talking to yourself, do you use the pronoun 'I' or 'you'?

"we" and other first-person-plurals

We're right there with y'all.

Depends on if I'm mad at myself...

"I should go get some food."

"You fucking idiot."

Typically “you” if it’s in my head, but if said out loud it’s “I”

i use "ye", too, but only at renaissance festivals

Both. And often also by name for some sarcasms.

Yeah this l me too. it depends on the context

I tend to just leave them out all together. Don’t know why though, maybe it’s faster?
It feels a bit like when you read a book fast and skip over entire words.

“Need to do some cleaning.”
“How could this be done faster?”
Or a common one:
“Hungry” :)

Hungy
- so humgry

Interesting that several people are reporting using "you" for negative sentiments, because I use "I" for those as well. E.G. "Well, I'm a fucking idiot."

Depends which part of myself I'm talking to. If it's just a general conversation, it's "we." If it's more of a direct conversation to a part of my mind, it's "you." If I'm talking about myself to a third-party, such as this response, it's "I."

It took me a moment to realise this was about inner monologues.

Could be thinking out loud or reflection via writing 🤷‍♂️

I, you, we and thou.

As in:

"What am I doing?!"

"You're getting older, not younger."

"Let's not do this again."

"Thou have lost the little bit of reasoning you had left."

And it scares people.

*Thou hast
- Thou hast mich

The passive voice is often used.

We. You are a combination of all the entities living on or in you. We are Us.

3rd person.

Distancing yourself from yourself, like an external narrator
- More the equivalent of a parent using your full name before telling you to do something... But it is your own mental monologue.

'One'

“One” for me as well. No need to be so informal just because it’s all in my head.

Both, but it also depends on if I’m winning the argument or they are.

I call myself by name, like a parent scolding their child.

If it's my internal monologue it's usually "I"

If I'm writing about myself (like a journal) then also "I"

If it's a note to remind myself of something then "you"

I have written letters to myself in the future and those are always "you"

There are multiple voices, one says "I" while the others respond with "you" if they are disagreeing, or "we" if they agree.

I should shave
Yes we should
No, you shouldn't. You look stupid.
I think that's right, I'm not shaving.

Mostly you

I use I unless I'm insulting or denigrating myself, then it's usually you

In my languages we don't usually use pronouns because verbs conjugations make them redundant, but I use both first and second person.

I am an "I".

I think I mix them interchangeably. Much to the chagrin of my English teachers.

Yes. I says to you.

Always I. Didn't know other people didn't always use I apparently.

I get "you" and "I". I'm still astonished that some people seem to use "we".

“We”. Not sure why. I guess it’s me and the person I’m talking to (who is also me)

Both, with a slight preference for "I".

"I" or "we" in English, German is mostly reserved for deep thoughts where I rarely need to address myself but if I do I think I use "ich" ("I") as well. "You" wouldn't feel right for me personally.

I, we, you, they, kinda all of them. I kinda make up characters in my head and assign them positions and personalities based on the need of the moment, and address them as appropriate. I don't give them names or anything, it's more like 'that dick who keeps telling me to get off my ass and be productive can piss off', etc.
