Do you ever have deep meaningful conversations with yourself, that actually seem like an epiphany at the end?

Question

For instance, and this is just me... I can start getting into a very deep mental or verbal conversation with myself, ask the questions, answer the questions... from my point of view and a third perspective. (Espesically if I smoke weed)

As crazy as it sounds, these are some very useful conversations to have... With yourself!!

They bring clarity, perspective, judgment, and doubt.. forcing you to make rational decisions. Ones that you may have not thought of, or chosen before. Growing, as a person.

I could have done a whole My Take on this subject, to be honest... But I'm not high enough, and in too much pain (maybe I will/should?)

Anyway, let me know what you think... I think this subject is not only fascinating but has so many layers!!

Much love

I do it all the time, if I am making an important life decision. I weigh the pros and the cons in my head and even talk it through. I often do it when I am driving alone, on the way to a jobsite. I even have a little Sony recording device and sometimes go through details if I need to play some of them back to remember where I left off - if it takes longer than a few minutes.

All the time. I think when you smoke weed, do psychedelics or even medatate, you rewire your brain in a way you can communicate with yourself easier.

The anxiety and distractions which cloud your ability to be objective melt away because who can you trust better than yourself?

Every morning I have a cup of green tea and I pace back and forth pondering life. I ask relevant questions and write down my thoughts. Sometimes it will last 60 minutes. I read a lot of self-help and spiritual books and I relate the advice I get from these books to the questions I ask myself.

Yeah, I find it's more meaningful with me 9 times out of 10, than with others who can be all over at times, and need some regrouping and a chill pill lol

coachTanthony · Answer

All the time I like to think things through out loud and it's awesome.

TruthBringer · Answer

Probably more than your average person. That's how I got to learn about myself, my boundaries and my wants. People come and go, even family to some extend. Your whole life, you have yourself only. So why not have conversations about yourself and learn more about YOU.

No, and some may not realize this, but it is in complete silence / stillness of the mind, that epiphany and transformation occur. Internal chatter and conversations with self is common and most of the population have compulsive thought. Ever wondered why you can't stop all thought and have complete silence within your own mind? (it's possible to do though.).

SunnyRS · Answer

I have a lot of conversations with myself and mostly it's all a bunch of crap at the time but sometimes those talks after a few months or years sound great although now that feels too late.
We have knowledge in our brain and it reaches us it's just that when do we grasp it, if it's on time it's like an epiphany but if early or late it's just chatter.

Not really cause I have anxiety lol. A conversation with myself will spiral into a panic attack

Jessica405 · Answer

If I were to talk to myself, I would never get a sensible reply.

Jltakk · Answer

Thats the only way I learn. I sit and review every mistake I made and where I stand as of that day over the course of that day. Epiphanies happen, I course correct the next given opportunity socially. The cycle stops when I am asleep.

Out loud I don’t think so. That’s what crazy people do at fast food low budget restaurants homeless people they talk to themselves out loud. I talk to the Lord Jesus Christ and my relatives.

So I suffer with BPD. I’ve had many of these throughout my life and in therapy, they’ve helped me so much with building true relationships and dismantling my behaviour and toxic traits.
