SELF-TALK
When the alarm goes off in the morning, you mutter to yourself, "Why did I set it so early?" Rushing out the front door, you reach for your keys and realize they aren't there. Frustrated, you yell, "I can't do anything right!" just in time to spot a neighbor. Talking to yourself can feel uncomfortable, and some people even label this behavior as a sign of mental instability. However, decades of psychological research show that talking to yourself is completely normal.
