День томуDig into the psychological benefits of positive self-talk, and find out when it can become problematic.
--
Being caught talking to yourself can feel embarrassing, and some people even stigmatize this behavior as a sign of mental instability. But decades of research show that talking to yourself is completely normal; most if not all of us engage in some form of self-talk every day. So why do we talk to ourselves? And does what we say matter? Dig into the psychological benefits of positive self-talk.

I am also an aspiring writer and I talk to myself in character to help figure out the flow of a conversations between the characters in my stories and snippets.

Self-reflection in general would help a lot of people. Sadly I'd bet the majority of people don't really reach that point. Why think when you can keep consuming drugs and alcohol and media to fill the hole? Introspection and philosophy are boring to many. I'm not even saying anyone has to be on hippy levels of meditation or anything. But that's how people react when you tell them that spending some time lost in thought could be good for them. Maybe more people would consider why money is so important, or ask themselves why they need the newest, shiniest cars or appliances when what they have gets the job done. Or they might stop to consider their place in the universe and why we shouldn't be wasteful. But alas, that's too deep for most people. Why think about any of that, when there's a new Marvel movie out... sigh.

As if I acted like nothing happened, we will save both of us the embarrassment!

I actually enjoyed this one a lot. I am a frequent self-talker and I mostly do this when in a good mood, commenting on videos I watch and especially when I need to focus on studying. Found this really interesting, when studying and focusing/concentrating was mentioned in this video, as I had noticed this in myself years ago. Before, I knew it would be a good study session when I heard myself talking to myself. Now it is the other way around, I use talking to myself as a tool when I really need to concentrate. I will just comment what I am doing, making it sound like instructions with random positive attributes, like "and now we have to divide this value by 4 and then we will have a beautiful result". Sounds completely crazy and a lot what I am saying doesn't really make sense, but it sure does keep me focused. This is why I stopped studying at the library, because I really don't want anyone to call a doctor on me : D try this if you have problems concentrating you guys :)

When I was younger, I was mostly introverted and couldn’t bring myself to talk to other kids, so whenever I was stuck with myself like on the school playground or alone at home I would talk to myself as I did things. Eventually, it would evolve over time to the point that my conversations with myself are so close to having one with someone else, my parents have confronted me multiple times to check if I’m actually talking to someone. I’m pretty sure they think I’m crazy. Update: I had a therapy session with myself. I think I agree with my parents. (it helped???)

talking to myself changes my mood, regardless of how well or poorly the conversation goes. Sometimes it is beneficial to listen to your own thoughts, and you might even be able to solve some problems. I also believe that you will never find someone who understands you better than yourself; it's another reason why you should stay away from the negative self talk. Aside from the primary subject, I think the video is quite entertaining & creative.

I am an introvert so talking to myself is pretty much a norm. I talk to myself out loud as if I were to be having a conversation with another person (like on the phone). There are few people I can talk to about my interests and what I am thinking so having a fake conversation helps me organize my thoughts, emotions, and makes me feel better about not having anyone to talk to at the moment. My family thinks it's weird but it brings me comfort. Additionally, I find the most effective way on how to explain certain things to others if I have already talked about it out loud to myself. It's like proof reading an essay. Thanks for this video! 🙂

It's essential to know that self-talk is entirely normal and common. In fact, many people engage in it regularly. It serves various purposes, such as organizing thoughts, gaining self-awareness, and reducing stress. So, if someone thinks self-talk is abnormal, they can rest assured that it's a natural and healthy aspect of human cognition. 🗣️💬

Am I the only one who feels comfortable speaking English fluently when I talk to myself only without someone noticing me inside the house? I, as a Filipino, do self-talk all the time that became from my habit to my normal way of living life because (despite English was the first language my parents and the media and books taught me) I also felt very lonely without friends to talk to about things we can relate to each other because they live far away or any other circumstances; as a result, I tend to imagine myself talking to a friend I feel being close with. In reality, that does not happen to me. It happened to the point many times my family would notice my self-talk actions at home and felt weirded about it. However when I'm living my solitary life with no one watching, I feel very comfortable expressing what I want to say but only to myself. :) I realized too that talking to myself was the key to unlocking my special gift of speaking English fluently.

I'm brazilian and only learned english through self talking, the difference is that i do it entirely in my head. I think self talking is a great way to learn any language, it's an easy way to practice without the potential awkwardness of talking to other people. My accent is pretty convincing even though i never spoke to another person in english.

I speak English, and I'm from America, but most of my self talks involve me speaking with an Australian accent, mostly just because it feels more natural to me. I never speak with the accent in front of other people (sometimes I sneak a sentence or two with the accent to see if someone picks up on it, and nobody seems to notice), but I almost exclusively speak to myself in that accent.

Now, it feels like I'm discussing and talking to my other side of myself (i know it sounds kinda wierd but that's what I think haha).

Self-talk has helped me understand situations in order to avoid doing something irrational due to stress and anxiety. But it also means I tend to feed my introverted self since I'm more dynamic in self-talk when I'm alone in a room. It also helps me plan certain things. It's just a challenge though that I tend to go off-topic with myself, which then I sometimes have to remind myself to stay in topic during the self-talk.

As an introvert I talk to myself all the time and my ''talks'' are pretty long at that. But it's not as if I respond to myself back and forth as if there was someone else in the room. The video said it perfectly, I just voice my thoughts. I'm an overthinker. Talking out loud lets me make sense of all the mess that's in my head. I also don't get distracted as often and it lets me develop my ideas fully. Most importantly, I don't get bored because I'm always in my company and it helps me deal with anxiety and low self-esteem. I always have something to think about and be critical about. You're definitely not weird for talking to yourself.

As an introvert, I can fully relate to that. I do talk to (or should i say "within") myself a lot, a lot of times to get a clarity or rehearse what I would say during the actual discussion with the other person. Sometimes it helps me bring out the solutions by having a imaginary conversation with other person, without actually talking to him/her in person. For this, the other person is someone who you are very familiar, like a friend or spouse, that you have interact a lot and know him/her very well ..so, its like getting his thoughts in your mind.

as you also saw in the video, self talk is not something to be embarrassed about.. so why don't you self talk with positive word instead of expressing yourself pretty bad?

Do you self-talk loud? I have never been caught by anyone while doing this because I always speak in my head or else I just move my mouth, maybe whispering a little when i'm alone.

I mostly move my mouth and i use ALOT OF hands while talking and sometimes even whisper maybe that's why I've been caught a few times

Talking to yourself is very important and is helpful too.. I still used to talk to myself whenever i need help in any situation... But what's more concerning is.. What you are talking about to yourself... Positive or negative....? that's what this video is all about.. Talking to yourself is totally normal.. Speak to u.. Your inner being/soul will answer you... Just Listen... There is a true voice inside all of us...

I'm in love with these psychology and self enlightenment videos lately. Seriously, it's helping humanity since mental health and our brain are something we understand least about and stigmatize the most. Thank you, team TedEd. We appreciate you.

When u keep saying something to yourself...it gets into your subconscious mind really well. For instance, if you are upset about a particular thing and u keep telling yourself "everything is going to fall in the right place" nany a time....this eventually makes u feel better even uf the issue is not solved. So that's how important a self talk is.... cause no one's gonna tell u the same thing multiple times other than yourself... I have been doing self talk since childhood days... and I can vouch for the fact that it works wonders.❤
