I’m not engaged in a dialogue with myself in my head but there is definitely a narrator in there analyzing and observing everything, and often complaining or critiquing or generally bitching. It doesn’t feel like talking to myself because it’s like this is my mind’s way of logging and processing information rather than communicating if that makes sense. I guess you could call it an internal monologue—it’s hard for me to imagine what it must be like for people who claim they don’t have one! I also talk out loud to my pets a LOT as if they understand what I’m saying at all

🗣I used to do this a lot more but it worried my mom so much she seriously asked if I needed a psychiatrist. I love a little playful joke to myself or reliving an old argument out loud like the person is right in front of me. Sometimes, my mind is too cluttered with ideas, and the only solution is out.

♥️If the voice in your head is being too mean ask it if it would talk to someone you love this way. My internal monologue can be a 💩 and this sometimes can help it be more constructive

🗣with others, to pets, and you know what! even talking to yourself from time to time... sometimes you just need to verbalize the thoughts that have overstayed their welcome in your brain to actually be able to process them better. make them a tangible thing instead of this ephemeral wisp that keeps bouncing around restlessly inside your cranium.

It lends a reflective and wistful tone to written communications imo…

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
