It Turns Out � People Who Talk To Themselves Aren�t Crazy, They�re Actually Geniuses
�If I were my purple nail polish, where would I be hiding?
I say to myself as I am searching through my room.
�Aha!
There you are, you wedged yourself behind my dresser.�
I talk to myself often, I don�t mean just mean inside the privacy of my own home.
I talk to myself while I�m taking a stroll down the street, or when I�m in my office.
One of the times I�m most likely to talk to myself is if I�m shopping.
Thinking out loud helps me remember what I�m thinking about.
It helps me to stay on track.
It also makes people look at me as if they may need to restrain me soon.
Crazy people are the ones who talk to themselves, right?
They�re usually conversing with the voices in their heads.
If you�re yammering on to nobody in Shoprite, everyone is bound to think you�re a mental
patient.
I�m sure many people have seen me wandering down the streets of NYC and thought out loud
�I wish someone would paint that, it would be so much more appealing.
I�d paint it, if I had the time, I would paint the shit out of that thing!� Well,
the joke is on the judgmental people giving me a side-eye on the train.
Talking to yourself, it turns out, is a sign of genius.
The smartest people on earth talk to themselves.
Look at the inner monologues of the greatest thinkers.
Look at poetry, at history!
Albert Einstein talked to himself, he wasn�t an avid social butterfly when he was growing
up.
He preferred to keep to himself.
Einstein.org reports that he �used to repeat his sentences to himself softly.� Talking
to yourself makes your brain work more efficiently.
In a study printed in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, psychologists
Daniel Swigley and Gary Lupya hypothesized that talking to yourself was quite beneficial.
We�re all guilty of it, whether we admit it or not.
We might as well celebrate it and study the benefits.
In one experiment, Swigley and Lupya gave 20 people the name of an object (like a loaf
of bread or an apple), which they were told to find in the supermarket.
During the first set of trials, the participants were bound to silence.
In the second set, they were allowed to repeat the object�s name out loud as they looked
for it in the store.
According to Live Science, test subjects found the object with greater ease when they spoke
to themselves while searching.
Saying things out loud sparks the memory.
It solidifies the end game and makes it tangible.
However, talking to yourself helps you only when you know what you need to find.
Speaking the object�s name out loud is helpful only when you�re familiar with its appearance.
According to Lupyan� Speaking to yourself isn�t always helpful, if you don�t really
know what an object looks like, saying its name can have no effect or actually slow you
down.
If, on the other hand, you know that bananas are yellow and have a particular shape, by
saying banana, you�re activating your brain to focus on these visual properties and help
you find them.
If you know what you need and verbalize its name, you will raise your chances of finding
it.
Children learn best by talking to themselves, babies learn to speak by listening to grownups
and mimicking the sounds.
We need to hear our voices to learn how to use them.
According to Live Science, �self-directed speech can help guide children�s behavior,
with kids often taking themselves step-by-step through tasks such as tying their shoelaces,
as if reminding themselves to focus on the job at hand.� Think about all the munchkins
you know.
Haven�t you seen them talking to themselves while they play with a toy car or favorite
stuffed animal?
A toddler will remain better focused by talking through his problems.
If a small boy is playing with his toy cars, he might say, �The small car can fit through
this garage door, but the big truck is too big.� All while testing which of the cars
fit inside the toy garage.
By doing so, he remembers for the future how he solved the problem.
Talking through it helps the child make sense of the world.
Talking to yourself can help you organize your thoughts.
Hearing issues vocalized calms the nerves and then one can focus on the tasks at hand.
Psychologist Linda Sapadin believes talking out loud to yourself helps you validate important
and difficult decisions.
�It helps you clarify your thoughts, tend to what�s important and firm up any decisions
you�re contemplating.� Everyone knows the best way to solve a problem is to talk
it out.
Since it�s your problem, why not do it with yourself?
Talking to yourself helps you achieve your goals.
Making a list of goals and setting out to achieve them can be hard to do.
It can be overwhelming.
Talking yourself through those goals is a much steadier way to achieve them.
If you walk yourself through the process, each step will seem less difficult and more
concise.
Things will suddenly seem less impossible, and you�ll be less apprehensive about diving
into the problem.
As Sapadin puts it, �Saying your goals out loud focuses your attention, reinforces the
message, controls your runaway emotions and screens out distractions.� It puts things
in perspective and grounds you.
Talking to yourself means that you are self-reliant.
Like Albert Einstein, who �was highly gifted and acquired early in his life the ability
to exploit his talents,� people who talk to themselves are highly proficient and count
on only themselves to figure out what they need.
We �crazies� are the most efficient and intelligent of the bunch.
We take the time to listen to our inner voices, out loud and proud!
