Have you ever tried talking to yourself? Seems like a ludicrous idea, but i actually tried it after coming across a link through a shady website, and i have to say, it was quite a pleasant experience.
The conversation was very interesting, we shared a lot of ideas, had the same interests, went through a very similar past. We had a lot in common! Very refreshing.
But at some point, i started to argue with myself. About things i should be doing, but I’m not. About things that i do too often, when i should not. Things got very heated, and we both said things that we came to regret, but in the heat of the moment i guess we got carried away, it was just too emotional.
Many might argue that this is not a normal behavior. Some might go as far as to call it insane, but you know what? It was one of the most productive talks I’ve ever had. And now that some time has passed, i actually grew very fond of this person, who was only trying to help me figure out what’s best for me.
On some subliminal level, buried deep down, nailed in a dusty coffin, we all know what’s best for us. We just choose to not see it sometimes, because we are too tired, too stressed, and too exhausted to deal with our own issues. But i promise you, if you take some time to have these dialogues with yourselves once in a while, not only will you enjoy it, but it will be productive, and you will find peace.
Don’t be afraid to talk to yourself every once in a while. Google it, it’s not that uncommon, and it actually works, if you let it. Just allow yourself to get past that initial shock, and actually absorb all what you have to inform yourself about.
People are always complaining about not having good friends. About people being shallow, having no time, not giving genuine advice, not investing time and just all out not caring. I’m all for being outgoing, and enjoying people’s company. But once in a while, when you are faced with a difficult situation, and you really need solid advice which you feel you are not getting, you need not worry. Deep down, you know what’s right.
To get your much needed advice, you need only to look into the mirror…

I loved reading this! I have done this before myself, but I haven’t ever heard about someone else’s experiences with it. Great post!
Thank you Robert, and you are definitley not alone in this 🙂
What a great post!
You can never find a better person than ” yourself” to give you the best advice and look for your benifit. Don”t get me wrong there are many people out there that have the best intentions to help you overcome certain situations. But never will
You find someone’s that can be 100% in your shoes and no one will know what’s best for your as much as yourself. At the end there is no experience like another! Yourself will give you the unbiased most honest an maybe even hurtful opinion that no one else can provide.
Taking it a step further, listening to your own voice, literally your voice opens up a conversation that surprisingly will give you the most creative, radical, yet logical ideas and solutions to any situation you are going through. You will discover your hidden capabilities. Let it out. Believe it or not, only yourself can tell you what will make u happy, what will satisfy you and tell you what you are truly capable of accomplishing.
On the other hand, you shouldn’t rely on yourself to only solve problems. Look in the mirror an don’t be Afraid to give praise to yourself when you’ve done a good deed. It’s is the biggest confidence booster as “yourself” is the only person that will give 100% unconditional honest and trustworthy opinion.
Personally, I talk to myself everyday. I am my own best friend in most situations. I take in ideas from others to develop my own while not letting decide for me. And its funny but that also means the sometimes I get into disagreements and fights with myself as you have mentioned above.
Ahmad, good job with the post. Theres so much to be said about this. People really need to learn to trust themselves and create a relationship with there inner selves. At the end, Who else can know them as much?!
Thanks Lama, i do agree people definitely need to be more in tune with their own emotions and feelings.
on another note, there’s nothing wrong with getting advice from friends too, sometimes you need an outside perspective… it’s about finding a balance, and paving your own path, so to speak 🙂
great post !!! i absolutely agree with the concept of having a discussion with oneself !! that guy can actually hit you where it hurts most and sometimes that is exactly where you need to be hit !!!
and one more thing !!! remember that you are not there jst to piss yourself off. every once in a while after yo have done wtvr u consider as good give urself a wink and a smile !!! trust me it feels awesome
agreed 🙂
