anyone else find "talking to themselves" stops mental stagnation?

deadsponge

currently loving it, saying whatever i want to myself, talking utter crap

had to get out of this place twice today as was driving me insane, just stagnant and felt my personality just not there

but had a long walk, got back, and talking utter idiocy to myself. "sign of madness"? nope, a sign that most people arent worth talking to i think lol.

    The way I stop it at night is with audiobooks as they seem to blockout my thinking.

    i do the same, audiobooks at night, fall asleep to them

    it distracts my mind and i focus on it instead, just has to be at the "right" volume otherwise its too distracting.

    even if music with an "aggressive"(most of what i listen to is) sound, calms me a lot
