Google says talking to yourself is a healthy and beneficial way to process thoughts and experiences, although it could also be caused by loneliness, stress, anxiety or trauma
Downstairs in my dingy unfinished basement, I open the dryer door and begin a conversation. With a lime green bath towel. “Why aren’t you dry?” Then, I ask its companion, a thick white Turkish towel, “Are you to blame?” The Turkish towel is dry, so, therefore, is innocent. Then, when carrying a handful of French fingerling potatoes to the kitchen sink for a good scrubbing, I encourage them with a hearty, “C’mon boys.” These are not passing thoughts. I say them aloud.
The first hit, in bold, reads, “Talking to yourself out loud is perfectly normal.” Because the article focuses on positive and negative inner dialogue, I refine my search to “talking aloud to inanimate objects.” What a relief! Apparently, it’s acceptable to talk to items such as golf balls, computers and radios, and to yell and even throw things at the TV. Although television doesn’t irk me, I sometimes have special words for my computer.
Next, I find an article confirming that talking to yourself is a healthy and beneficial way to process thoughts and experiences, although it could also be caused by loneliness, stress, anxiety or trauma. I doubt that my inane talk originates from feelings of stress, anxiety or trauma, so am I lonely? Have my soliloquies developed because I’ve been living alone for more than a decade?
