Something To Talk About

Franklin P. Jones once said, ~One advantage of talking to yourself is that you know at least someone is listening.~ Without a doubt, we all talk to ourselves both inwardly and outwardly on a semi-daily basis, which is considered normal unless you're completely crazy in the head. If you think about it though, aren't we all crazy in the head as its just a matter of the degree of crazy as you converse with yourself with what has happened, is happening or will happen in your life that has you becoming your very own therapist who you don't have to pay a service charge to, which is most definitely a good thing. Let me ask you this question, how do you feel afterwards when you're finished with your one on one session, better or worse?

Women, more so than guys, talk to themselves more nonverbally than verbally, which can be considered both confusing and dangerous. Why? When it pertains to a guy, it can start out general, but then it takes a leap into something so out there that they are blamed for something we've done or said within their own mind. Every guy, whether he is in a potential and/or significant relationship, the girlfriend/wife is staring at him and he knows a conversation is going on in her head about something he did or didn't do that turns into an argument to where it eventually ends in him apologizing. Ladies, now you know why guys like myself are bold or going bald as we pull out our own hair due to not only being so confused but also frustrated as well.

In any case, when it comes to relationships or the lack thereof both men and women talk to themselves when trying to figure out the feeling within their own heart about that certain someone. It would be safe to say that each and every one of us have stared up at the ceiling while in bed and just started quietly talking with yourself to the point where you can't fall asleep because thoughts of him or her have gotten to you in such a way that you start arguing with yourself. Let me tell you something, its not a fun experience whatsoever as you not only lose sleep from psycho-analyzing yourself, but also that particular person as well, which can bring or has already brought many people like myself to the brink of insanity.

Personally speaking, when it comes to thinking up and writing Yodaisms, talking to myself in my head, as well as, out loud is how I do things. For its a process that is both entertaining and interesting for others to where I can get so focused that I don't realize I'm muttering under my breathe or thinking out loud words to say that it's considered a comical situation for my friends who have gotten used to my rain man type actions, but when complete strangers witness me doing it they think I need psychiatric help. Essentially, whether I do or I don't as long as the reader is able to interpret what I've been trying to say to myself in my head then on to paper and inevitably shared for you to read its a personal victory that I can be proud of.

In retrospect, talking to yourself is perfectly normal and healthy as well because you get the chance to go in depth into who you are as individuals. Questions such as: Who am I? What is my soul purpose in life? Where do I belong in this crazy mixed up world? When will my time for true happiness arrive? Why do I always seem to go for the guys/girls who break my heart? How emotionally and physically strong can I be when true love finally comes my way? In the end, each of us will always have something to talk about as we try to come up with the answers to the question we ask ourselves about life, love, and everything in between, which may make perfect sense or no sense at all.
