In ancient times, people considered their inner voice to be the echo of the devil. They fought with it and tried to silence it. At the same time, some people considered it a source of wisdom and tried to listen to it

Self-absorption and self-deprecation causes insecurity, and an intrusive voice in our head can even indicate certain mental disorders.
Although it seems impossible to control the chatter in your head, the
author
