Something really irks me about characters talking to themselves when there's clearly nobody anywhere nearby that could hear them.
An exclamation is fine. Someone can yell "Fuck!" or "Balls!" if they hit their thumb with a hammer. Humming is also fine.
But making full statements? Standing in front of the mirror saying "I don't really look like my mother, do I?"? Or the worst one, repeating the key words and phrases from something you're reading or being told? It just feels so artificial.
