Is talking alone a sign of low dopamine?

[Androsclerosis]

Rarely I find myself talking alone when I have nothing to do. It doesn't bother me but my intuition tells me that it's like masturbation, it may desensitize dopamine receptors.

What do you think?

Hmm. Talking is not the same as ruminating.
I find myself talking to myself (and the little critters I encounter: lizards, snakes, birds) when I'm gardening.
Some times I get insights and clear picture of a memory that resolves something that made no sense before.

I think it could be creative.

I do the same!
Sometimes out of curiosity I think about arguments "why X food is bad" and try to find best answers.

Yeah you're right it stimulates creativity if it goes with the flow
