If more people would be willing to honestly
admit it, we'd all discover that this is not entirely uncommon. Nor does it indicate that the majority of us are
delusionally unhealthy. Who among us has not heard the words of our parents, teachers, friends,
whomever, echo within our heads from time to time?
Some of these dialogues can be
comforting and even constructive. Others can be damaging, or simply a waste of time to ponder. Others, especially when these snippets of conversation
audibly escape our lips, can be downright
weird. For example: a parent scolding a child...
Parent aloud: "You'll put someone's eye out with that thing!"
Parent to self: "Whoa! Mom, get out of my head!"
Go figure...
