Add title, check for spaces, multiply by six, adjust for viewer interest, Carry the One, and... GO! Thinking Out Loud occurs in the odd circumstance that a character is talking to themself out loud and they could easily be thinking the same thing, but just don't. Villains do this a LOT. It's usually a form of As You Know: often the character would be better off hiding their thoughts from people who might hear them, but, of course, the audience needs to be informed... The difference with Did I Just Say That Out Loud? is that that trope incorporates an Outer Monologue when other characters are in the room and happen to hear what the character was thinking because they blurted it out. This is where they are speaking out loud intentionally, and/or if bystanding characters learn nothing from the experience. Surrogate Soliloquy and Inner Monologue are tropes which are deliberate aversions. Inner Monologue Conversation is an aversion in which others respond anyway. Audience Monologue is similar, but is intentionally directed to the audience. Breaking the Fourth Wall and addressing the audience is another aversion, but much older. If the character is looking in the direction of the audience but not saying anything that strictly proves they're aware of the audience rather than just Thinking Out Loud, that's Aside Comment. Placebo Eureka Moment is when there is someone else there, but the character isn't really talking to them. Freudian Slip is when someone ends up speaking what's in their mind rather than what they want to say. An extremely common case of Truth in Television; people often forget to close their mouths while thinking. A frequent trope in Adventure Games, especially Point-and-Click which when lacking a narrator will have the player character comment on anything that is clicked on. Less serious examples of these games will often Lampshade this. Radio Dramas are also prone to this, because, you know, how would you tell the difference between narration and someone talking to himself? Interestingly, thinking out loud has been studied; it's formally known as private speech or egocentric speech. Although it's often stereotyped as a bad habit, one of the earliest defenders of the practice was Lev Vygotsky, who studied private speech in children and reasoned that speaking out loud while performing tasks tended to help the child perform better. Don't confuse this trope with Talking to Themself, in which case the character has some kind of split personality or think they're really talking to someone else. Or for that matter, this is also not the song of the same name by Ed Sheeran. |

Commander Ivanova was occasionally prone to making deadpan observations about the situation, sometimes even looking upwards to direct them to God (similar to Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof) when she was particularly exasperated. | |

Advice and Trust: In chapter 2, Asuka is pondering her and Shinji's new relationship. At one point she thinks out loud that having someone wanting to be with her is frightening. In chapter 6 Shinji and Asuka are detained and kept in cells for two days for "insubordination". While she is locked and insolated Asuka yells very loudly what she thinks about Gendo Ikari, his orders, and getting arrested in spite of rescuing an endangered pilot, killing the enemy without destroying the hijacked Unit and winning the battle. |

Arrow: In season 1, when Oliver first returned to the island, he often talked aloud to himself when alone. This could be interpreted in two different ways. 1) Oliver spent a great time allowed and probably got used to his own company, perhaps talking aloud to keep himself sane. 2) It cued the audience into what Oliver was thinking as we had no other way to know what he was planning unless he told us. Once Diggle came along, this thinking aloud quickly faded away, with Oliver now discussing his plans with Diggle. | |

Elgala from Excel♡Saga is an odd example of this. These moments are presented in word balloons normally reserves for Inner Monologues, suggesting that she really is just thinking to herself instead of out loud. And yet everyone can inexplicably hear what she's thinking anyway. | |

In the Vorkosigan Saga, Miles Vorkosigan does this a lot, in keeping with his hyperactive and not-entirely-stable personality. He mentions on one occasion that he likes to think out loud because it slows down his thoughts to the point where he can get a good look at them, and also admits that very few people can stand to listen to him for long. On another occasion he actually uses this — ranting about how everyone always thinks Ivan is the smart one, and the bad guys have exposed their entire scheme for the sake of grabbing the expendable Barrayaran, and it's been like this since they were kids, y'know... — to provide a distraction for an ally, who takes so long to spring her ambush that even Miles starts to worry he's going to run out of things to say. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: In "By Inferno's Light," Garak is working in a tight, enclosed space inside the wall to rewire a computer system so the group can escape a Dominion internment camp. After turning off the only light source he has, which is beginning to die on him, he begins talking to himself which is really thinking out loud. The talking to himself is also justified in that he's in the process of spiralling down into a full blown claustrophobic attack and he's desperately trying to avert the attack he can feel approaching by pep-talking himself. This is convenient because it's also the only way the audience learns he has a history of claustrophobia and how it started which, for such a private character who loathes revealing weakness, would never have been something the audience would have otherwise learned. | |

Dr. Mordin Solus of Mass Effect 2. Verbal traits make highly memorable character. Audio-visual documentation available.

Mao from Code Geass: Mao of the Deliverance is a particularly triumphant example as he, suffering from uncontrollable telepathy, talks to himself constantly in order to differentiate his thoughts from everyone else.

Izuru Midoriya, the protagonist of My Hero Academia, tends to start mumbling whenever he's thinking hard about something.

In one episode of The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius, Yoo Yee (an Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy who wants to fight Sheen to become the Chosen One) is constantly talking to himself (even saying "I must talk to myself"), since he's basically straight out of a 70s kung-fu flick.

Of particular note though is the cover of Amazing Fantasy #15, where Spider-Man announces quite clearly that he is Peter Parker while holding a ne'er-do-well in one hand, thus telling him his Secret Identity. Retconned in the more recent Amazing Fantasy series in a two-page story called "I was the Guy in Spider-Man's Armpit," where he was just a White Collar Worker who fell out of his office window and Spider-Man saved. He was too busy screaming in terror to hear what Spider-Man was saying. |

The Loroi in question, Beryl, is wondering what the words "Um," means in the human language, to which Alex replies that he tends to "Think Out Loud." Beryl bursts into laughter, thinking he told a joke, before realizing he was being serious. The Loroi are unused to verbal communication, preferring telepathy, so... | |

Doctor Who: The First Doctor's speech after all his companions leave him for the first time and he realises he has no way of quitting his life of random, aimless travel. The Fourth Doctor is a chronic and indulgent self-talker, pointed out by Sarah Jane in his second story (she theorises to a side character that he talks to himself because he's the only person who understands what he's on about). One of his earliest Establishing Character Moments) is his rapturous Humans Are Special speech in "The Ark in Space". Harry is present and likely able to hear him, but he moves to another room before the Doctor starts in order to give Tom Baker the set to himself and emphasise the speech's Shakespearean nature. This is quite helpful in circumstances where he's cut off from the companion, especially in "The Deadly Assassin" which has no companion at all, and relishes scenes such as him casually mumbling half-formed jokes and yelling solipsistically at the political broadcast on television. As his tenure continued this became closer and closer to making him a Fourth-Wall Observer — his commentary started to get more meta, and he'd combine self-talking with the Aside Glance. In one of his Big Finish Doctor Who stories, there's an extended scene of him having a solitary mental breakdown while ranting at his hat stand before smashing it to pieces. Because of the Big Finish Doctor Who audios, talking to himself is actually considered a character trait of the Eighth Doctor. "Flesh and Stone": Doing this leads the Doctor to announce to Amy why the Weeping Angels are making her count down to her and River, something he immediately regrets, leading him to clap a hand over his mouth. In "Mummy on the Orient Express", the Twelfth Doctor is shown talking to himself in his room, acting out the other half of the conversation with an impression of the Fourth Doctor's voice. |

Lampshaded in "Snow It Goes", where the villain, in the middle of his soliloquy, mentions that he's going to use the money gained from his scheme for psychiatric therapy to cure his urge to talk to himself. |

A Sympathetic example is frequently demonstrated by protagonist Aloy in Horizon Zero Dawn. Aloy was raised in a Friendless Background as an Outcast of the Nora tribe, a highly insular and superstitious tribe with rigid adherence to tribal customs and tenants. Being an Outcast is a punishment wherein you are actively shunned and ignored by all fellow tribe members and treated as if you didn't exist, usually applied to people with a set time limit depending on the crime committed to deserve the punishment. Aloy was considered an Outcast since birth due to the unusual circumstances in which she was found, and even that was a step up— many in the tribe wished her dead out of fear that she was the child of the 'Metal Devil', and rendering her Outcast was simply the best compromise that could be agreed upon. A combination of this fear and discrimination against Aloy for having no obvious mother in a highly matriarchal society left Aloy alone and isolated for most of her formative years, only able to hold conversations with her adoptive father Rost and a merchant who wasn't as uptight about tribal restrictions as his fellows, and even those had to happen out of sight. Understandably, Aloy developed the habit of speaking her thoughts out out loud to deal with the extreme loneliness and isolation, and keeps this going throughout the game, even when she's able to leave her tribal grounds and speak with people who aren't treating her as some kind of unwanted curse, as a sign of how badly she was effected by the treatment. | |

Babylon 5: Commander Ivanova was occasionally prone to making deadpan observations about the situation, sometimes even looking upwards to direct them to God (similar to Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof) when she was particularly exasperated. Meanwhile, "Rumors, Bargains, and Lies" featured a very energetic Captain Sheridan mumbling to himself and making random outbursts at breakfast as he concocts his plan to get the League of Nonaligned Worlds cooperate with his attempts to deploy his forces to keep the peace between them. This gets lampshaded by his junior officers who decide this is a side effect of Delenn (Sheridan's Love Interest and sounding board) being elsewhere for a few episodes. |
