Understanding the Voice in Your Head

The internal dialogue most people experience is often perceived as a negative force, not necessarily aligned with one’s best interests. Personal anecdotes illustrate how this voice can lead to self-doubt and hinder social interactions, particularly in formative years. Recognizing that this voice is not truly oneself can be liberating and shift the perspective on its influence. Instead of seeing it as a friend, understanding its nature helps in creating a healthier relationship with this self-talk.
