Proversation

Proversation: noun. A formal, and often forced, exchange of thoughts and ideas. This term is most commonly used when referring to an uncomfortable exchange of information with one’s self, this is likely because the speaker would like to avoid conveying the idea that they are generally awkward or are uncomfortable speaking to others present. Those lacking in proversation skills will often be experienced in areas such as small-talk. The world’s longest recorded proversation was between Paul, John, Stephen, Roger, and Edward (All 1 person referring to himself with these names, no last names were given). This man talked for 36 hours, witnesses explained that every second of it felt like there was some ulterior purpose to the conversation and that the very few pleasantries were quick and didn't have the slightest pretense of sincerity.
