Medical Video: Does Talking To Yourself Mean You're Crazy?
If you like to see people or your friends talking to themselves in their rooms, bathrooms, or at their office desks, that doesn't mean your friend is crazy or has a mental disorder. Maybe your friend is learning a presentation or is motivating himself.
So do you. If you are suddenly talking to yourself, that doesn't mean you are crazy. Unless you talk to yourself with a tree in crazy people's clothes ...
A study conducted at the University of Michigan found that people who sometimes talk to themselves before important presentations or meetings, usually perform better and less often experience anxiety or doubt themselves.
As reported UniverseofMemory.com, Ethan Kross, professor of psychology and director of the Self-Control and Emotion Laboratory at the University of Michigan, said that when people think of themselves as others, this thought will make them judge themselves objectively, so that it will be a helpful input.
In another study, psychologist Gary Lupyan from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Daniel Swingley from the University of Pennsylvania, conducted several experiments to find out whether talking to yourself will help you find items that are missing or not.
In short, they cannot deny that speaking will help the process of finding lost items, especially when there is a strong relationship between the name and the visual target. Also, talking to yourself can stimulate your memory or memory.
Think, when you speak loudly, you simulate more senses than when you speak softly. You hear a voice. Whether you realize it or not, your body feels the sound as the mind delivers it through the bone. In fact, bone conduct is one reason why our voices sound different if we hear our own voice recordings,
Talking to yourself can improve your memory or memory. That is one of the most important benefits of talking to yourself. However, as revealed by Linda Sapadin, an American psychologist based on the results of Gary and Daniel's research earlier, other benefits of speaking alone are:
- Channel emotions. When you are upset or angry, like on a highway that is jammed for example, then you talk or scream yourself, you don't realize, you will calm down for a long time. Yes, that's the benefit, making emotions so fun.
- Become more focused. When someone writes while reading what is written, it will slowly make the brain become more focused on one thing. That is, it also makes the brain's ability to remember to increase.
- Make it motivated. Just as explained by Gary and Daniel, when you are preparing to face something, such as a presentation for example, then you speak for yourself, it can increase your motivation and eliminate the anxiety that previously gnawed at you.
- Makes us able to schedule. What is on our minds is sometimes too much until we think and talk to ourselves: what do we have to do, what do we do, and then what do we do, and so on. By talking to yourself, slowly you will start learning to schedule yourself and organize what you have to do.
- Able to analyze problems themselves. Sometimes when you have a problem, you usually confide with friends or partners. However, by talking to yourself, you will be better able to analyze your own problem situation. You will also speak with your own conscience and find what you really want.
So, take it easy ... When you talk to yourself, you will actually feel a lot of benefits for yourself and may make you better. No need to fear being considered crazy, huh.
