5 Insane Traits of People Who Talk to Themselves

The most intelligent conversation some people have all day is with themselves. Not because they're lonely (okay, maybe a little), but because their brains literally need the audio version to function at full capacity. While everyone else thinks self-talk is weird, psychology says it's actually a cognitive advantage.

When you talk to yourself, you're using externalized cognition, mental rehearsal, and affective self-guidance. It's why you read emails out loud to catch every typo, rehearse conversations in the shower and somehow win every argument, narrate your grocery list in the kitchen, and mutter through frustrations instead of spiraling. Your brain clarifies thoughts faster when it hears them, regulates emotions by verbalizing them, and locks memories deeper through repetition. Speaking slows your mind down just enough to stop it from taking shortcuts.
