…to yourself? Somehow this inner voice in my mind is always yapping on and on. How do I make it shut up?
I read somewhere that talking to yourself isn’t an issue, its when you answer yourself back that you need to be concerned. I don’t think I have ever done it,…err… except on a few rare instances when the voice got a bit too honest for my liking.
Before someone suggests ‘zikr’, let me tell you, I do that but my mind has this uncanny ability to compartmentalize the tasks. So while one section is rocking back and forth reciting kalma, the other is busy in its wordly woes as well as keeping an eye out for cuties!
A guy used to talk to himself orally ( not in his mind) so someone asked him why do you talk to yourself all the time
He replied.
"Because I like to talk to only the smart ones"
yep, I talk to myself all the time, not outloud ofcourse. It's a good thing I guess, you sort out alot of issues by yourself without involving someone else. For example, if i m mad at my husband or whomever, I would make a whole argument in my head that i'll say this and I'll say that when i see him, but by the time I am done, I am not mad anymore, and back to my normal self. kapeesh?

Oh I also cook up scenarios in my mind. Its another story that they never materialize... :)
That could be my underlying reasoning.
log pehlay hi pagal samajhtay hain
agar wo aisa samjhtay hain to wo khud bhi pagal hain
