> I would like to ask another question though, how does the community feel about people who talk to themselves when they're focused?

There's a special place in hell for those people :). Even worse when they are whispering or mumbling.

It's really the same as talking on the phone: my brain is hijacked because it only has a side of the conversation.

Well, that's not nice.

it happens automatically once I'm above 80% invested into something, so in order to be safe I don't let myself get any more than 50% invested because I'm worried about disturbing others.

I'm not sure what I can do here, I have to be in an office which has no sound barriers of any kind between anyone.

Well, you can try the rubber band thing around the wrist for reinforcements.
