Is talking to yourself a normal thing or not?

By MindStick

Yes, it is very normal if you talk to yourself. Most people talk to themselves frequently, which can be beneficial in various ways:

Talking through a problem out loud helps with problem-solving and planning, as well as staying on direction and avoiding mistakes.

Positive self-talk increases motivation, allowing people to overcome obstacles, achieve their goals, and helps with emotional awareness and management

However, speaking to oneself may suggest a mental health problem such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.

If it does not cause distress or interfere with daily life, self-talk is most likely a normal element of human behaviour.

If you are concerned about your self-talk, seek help from a therapist to understand it or talk to family and friends.
