This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon of self-talk and inner speech from psychological, cognitive, and social perspectives. The research explores why people talk to themselves, the role of this process in cognitive and emotional regulation, and its positive functions in everyday human experience. The article demonstrates that self-talk is not a pathological behaviour but a natural and beneficial aspect of cognitive development and self-regulation.References
