Has Anyone Else Been Told During Absence Seizure You've Been Talking To Yourself?

Because my dad told me I was at the top of the stairs talking to myself but what I was saying was worded like having a conversation with myself

Yeah, the things I've done during seizures and I don't remember what happened. These focal seizures I have make me do some crazy things that's best not to remember.

I’ve had those. I’d repeat myself over and over . I’d say things like “ no no. “ Or “ I’m alright , I’m alright “

Yes, it has happened but more not making any sense. I'm told anyway
