RE: Are Most People Talking To Themselves All The Time and Hallucinating That They're The Ones Creating Their Thoughts?

in #psychology7 years ago

The answer to your question is: yes, kinda.

We're not the source of our thoughts, we're the monitor of our thoughts as they arise from the subconscious.

It's true that most people aren't aware of this. However, since we're not the source of our thoughts, we can't talk to ourselves. We can only listen. Our conscious awareness is completely silent.

Sort:  

I agree, technically talking to ourselves isn't actually talking to ourselves since we don't really exist, and whenever you go up one level to try to find out who is the watcher, watching the thoughts, the self goes up another level, always evading our grips

Spoiler: We're like a container that can't perceive itself except through it's contents.

Damn, that's an interesting way to put it
