Who do you speak to ?

Lately noticed this trait:

When we have something to communicate, even though we feel we are trying to communicate to the person who is standing opposite to us or the person who is on the other side of the chat or on the other end of the phone line, I trust we are not exactly trying to communicate to the other person but instead communicating those ideas to ourselves.

I think we perform this kind of communication to check if our theories are being accepted by the person opposite to you and if there's an acknowledgment 'we are happy that our theories are being accepted', if there's no acknowledgment 'we grow curious to find out what part of our theory is wrong'.

At times, 'we want to be proven wrong'. When proven wrong, it gives fresh impetus for us to look at things in different way and thus try to understand life/theories in different perspective.

No wonder, we are always keen to communicate our thoughts to someone or the other and yearn if our thoughts will be accepted, if not yearn to understand or know the reasons why those thoughts are not accepted and thus, keen to correct ourselves.
