In certain circumstances, being caught talking to yourself is embarrassing. It makes you look like you’ve lost your mind! Generally, it's understood that we speak to communicate, and doing so without it being directed at someone or not being heard by anyone defeats the purpose. However, this isn't true. Speaking serves other functions too.

How many times have we been looking for our keys and have asked ourselves, “where are my keys?” Saying it out loud helps us find them because it reminds us of what we’re looking for, and we don’t lose focus. And that's just one example.
