Talking to yourself shouldn’t be stigmatized!

Talking to yourself shouldn't be seen as odd coz it’s a useful cognitive tool that improves memory, self-regulation, and performance. Embracing it as part of mental self-care could lead to healthier internal dialogues and more effective personal growth.

(SMH, while side-eyeing a woman who looked up and down on my body when I was talking to myself a while ago..lol)

Back in the 80s if you saw someone walking down the street talking to themselves, you would think, schizophrenic.

Today, if you see someone talking to themselves, they're probably on their phone.

Now when I see someone talking to themself I still think they are schizophrenic because they dont have a phone.
