Psychologists recommend against this because ‘talking to yourself’ is connected to a lot of positive mental health.

Notice young children talking to themselves in their own little world as they start to grasp and build their ego.

There is quite a difference between talking to yourself out loud and constant mental chattering.

Psychologist also encourage mindfulness/meditation to calm your mind, which is more what I'm trying to get at.

There seems to be a transition in the young between when they talk out loud to themselves and then when they bring the voice inside.

Interestingly, some people do not have an inner voice...
