The only way it could be wrong is if you hear voices when no one's around. Feel free to correct me though.
Is talking to yourself wrong? -

You're never alone if you have imaginary friends, just ask Chris.

Saying shit like "Alright, I need to get eggs, milk, bacon..." or "Fuck, I can't believe I bombed this test" are perfectly fine. If you have fluent, verbal conversations with yourself constantly, then there's something wrong.
I roomed with a guy in college who didn't have an inner monologue, just an outer one and I swear to God I thought he was gonna stab me

Read the Chris Chan sub.
Talking to your self is perfectly normal if you're using it as a device to work through something. Sometimes you don't have someone to bounce stuff off of so you say it out loud to allow yourself to think about it. "If this piece goes here, then this one... No that doesn't work. Let's try this..." However if you're having conversations where you are responding to yourself and carrying on a conversation, it can be indicative of a larger issue.
I heard that people in solitary confinement make imaginary friends and life to cope. Same thing in some survival situations (ex: being on a boat/island by yourself.)
Humans are social creatures and social interaction is required for the proper functioning of the mind. People in isolation will, the majority of the time, go insane. Creating an imaginary friend to talk to is more desirable as a defense mechanism than completely losing it.

It's the only way to guarantee an intelligent conversation.
It depends how smart you are though.
Do dumb people talk to themselves more or smart people (barring schizophrenics)?
Being smart is not talking too little or too much.
Too much: Too ramble on, to be overly verbose.
Too little: Dumb literally used to just mean mute.
Brevity is the soul of wit, therefor I shall be brief..... in stealing quotes.
It's not only quantity that matters though. It also about quality. Like others said before, talking to yourself can used to organize your thoughts.
Talking to yourself is fucking fine and normal. Even more so in times of stress. Talking aloud or through inner monologue can help you work through your thoughts and feelings in order to come to more rational conclusions.
As long as you don't have "voices" or other "people" with distinct personalities in your head you're fine.
Don't be self-conscious about it, and enjoy life, friend.

Seems like you only started this thread to hear yourself speak.
I see what you did there.
No, not really
If I wanted to speak myself speak then I wouldn't made the thread. I want to hear other people opinions. That's the opposite of talking to yourself.
How often that happens to you, if not a secret?
Never. If it did, I wouldn't be in here. I would be on the streets or in a ward.
