    Depends on if I’m mad at myself…

    “I should go get some food.”

    “You fucking idiot.”

    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” :)

    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.”

    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.

        More the equivalent of a parent using your full name before telling you to do something… But it is your own mental monologue.

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

    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”
