enesekõnede
Enesekõnede, a term derived from Estonian, refers to the act of speaking to oneself. This can manifest in various ways, including muttering, whispering, or even engaging in full conversations with oneself. The practice is common across different age groups and cultures and is generally considered a normal human behavior. Enesekõnede can serve multiple purposes, such as self-reflection, problem-solving, or as a way to process thoughts and emotions. It can also be a tool for memory recall or to rehearse upcoming events. In some instances, enesekõnede might be louder or more frequent when an individual is experiencing stress, excitement, or deep concentration. While typically harmless, excessive or highly disorganized enesekõnede could, in rare cases, be associated with certain mental health conditions, though this is not the norm. Psychological research suggests that self-talk can positively influence performance, mood, and self-regulation. It is an internal dialogue that helps individuals organize their thinking and navigate their experiences.
