Self Talk



This guy is not crazy...he is communicating with his inner self.

I hope the above video helps you to clarify more about intrapersonal communication .
Intrapersonal communication can be defined as "communicating with one self" . In a more casual definition, it's the little voices that live in our head. They are not hallucinations or delusions. It is one way to re-evaluate ourself. Intrapersonal communication helps you to see situations from another view. In dyadic communication/interpersonal communcation , it requires two persons to interact as a sender and receiver, but in intrapersonal communication, we are the sender and also the receiver and we give feedbacks to ourself.

Intrapersonal communication encompases:

  • Nocturnal dreaming(Lucid dreaming)
  • Day dreaming
  • Spekaing aloud( we {at least i do} sometimes literally talk to ourself aloud eventhough no one can hear us. Some people might think we are crazy. So, face the consquences..lol)
  • By writings. For example journals, diaries even blogging!
  • Gestures while thinking. While we were thinking, we usually make gestures.
When you are "emotionally unstable"(upset for example) you might want to consider communicating with yourself. Sometimes when we're upset, we just say things without considering others' feelings. It may help you to learn to be considerate about others' feelings when you say something that is subject to your emotional thinking but not your rational thinking.
