INTRAPERSONAL
COMMUNICATION
“ Knowing yourself is the
beginning of all wisdom.

―Aristotle

5
The Latin prefix intra- means within or
inside. Intrapersonal communication
then means talking to oneself.

Some label it as inner talk, inner

monologue, or dialogue. Psycologists
call it with other names such as self-
verbalization or self-statement.

?
“ DO YOU FIND IT NORMAL
TO TALK TO YOURSELF?

7
 Moreover, engaging in inner speech
such as fantasizing or daydreaming is
not bad as long as you are able to
distinguish it from reality.
8
For instance, if you find yourself talking to yourself,
there is really no need for you to answer back.

You talk to yourself because you think that there is

the need to:

Boost your confidence when you are nervous to

speak in front of an audience

Apprise yourself that you perform a good job

Console yourself that you did a task poorly

 Intrapersonal communication involves the use of
language and thought to communicate with oneself.
It includes an individual’s internal thought process,
rationalization, and reasoning. This piece explores
the advantages as well as the disadvantages of
this form of communication.

11
Advantages of Intrapersonal
Communication
Self-awareness
It allows the person to be aware of every
aspect of their own personality. Through
introspection, the person becomes aware of
the qualities that help shape his personality
which in turn makes him aware of his
motivations, aspirations, and expectations
from the world. If one’s understanding of
self is absolute, it would help in easily
communicating his wants and needs to
others.
13
Self-confidence

A self-aware state makes one secure

and increases confidence

14
Self-management
The fact that one is conscious of the
indwelling strengths and shortcomings,
it equips him to manage his daily
affairs efficiently using his strengths to
the maximum which in turn
compensates for his weaknesses.

15
Self-motivation
The absolute knowledge of what one
wants out of life will enable the person
to strive to achieve those aims and
goal while continuously motivating
themselves

16
 Focused
￮ The qualities of self-motivation
and self-management will help
develop deeper concentration and
direct his focus towards the task
at hand.

17
 Independence Adaptability
Self-awareness The person is highly
allows the person adaptable to his
to be independent surroundings as the
knowledge of his own
qualities allows him to
confidently and calmly
take decisions and
change his approach
accordingly in response to
situational stimuli.
18
Disadvantages of
Intrapersonal
Communication
 Introverted
Since the person prefers working
alone, he is perceived as shy or anti-
social by others.

Wrong assumptions
Since there is absence of a feedback, that
is, the conversation is in a one-way flow, it
could lead to the development of
misconceptions and faulty assumptions.

Incorrect decisions
Prejudices formed based on wrong
assumptions made by an individual could
lead to incorrect choices or decisions.

20
 Categorical thinking
There is a possibility of an individual
categorizing and viewing certain
individuals or events with a biased
opinion causing one’s thought pattern
to be one-tracked and lopsided.

Over-thinking
Over analysis of situations and prolonged
thinking about them will lead to the
imagination of unrealistic and unnecessary
scenarios, and in extreme cases, may
even lead to self-doubt.

Arrogance
Due to an independent nature and
specific approach towards an issue, one
may be incorrectly perceived as being
arrogant. This is further reinforced by
one’s tendency to pay attention to every
21
minute detail.

COMMUNICATION
The Latin prefix inter means between, among,
and together. An interactive exchange takes
place as interpersonal communication takes
place. However, as it occurs, a transaction does
not necessarily take place since it can only be a
simple transaction such as greetings, getting to
know a person, or ordinary conversations. This
may also occur in dyads or small groups, also
known as group communication.
