Talking to yourself is normal. What matters is whether it’s negative or positive

While self-talk can feel embarrassing, and people often associate it with mental health problems, it is pretty common.

It is a typical morning. As you sip your tea in the early hours of the day, you think of the various tasks or assignments you have to get through. Then, you open your phone just to see what’s happening in the world and are bombarded with an alarming amount of information. You end up thinking about things and perhaps may even start mumbling to yourself.
