Do we speak nothing but the truth when we have conversations with people? Most of us do not speak the truth during conversations with others in our lives. We tend to fabricate stories and make them appear more appealing and favorable to our audience’s needs, just to keep the conversation going. This is because we try to impress others with our stories, seeking their acceptance and approval. Therefore, we believe that telling them the truthful version of our stories may not be well received by society at large.
However, when having a conversation with ourselves, we do not have to worry about the audience or how others perceive us; there is no external pressure. Conversations with oneself are pure, raw, and truthful. Engaging in regular self-talk helps me become a better version of myself, and it’s a habit I don’t want to let go of.
