In self-talk we cannot be objective, for all self-talk is reflexive, self-referential. If our self-talk is in keeping with addictive paradigms we are bound to be mislead and make repeated mistakes. If self-talk is focused upon self justification we are bound to be mislead by our failures to deal honestly with mistakes made and attributed to others. If self-talk is focused upon self defense we are bound to be lead into alienating ourselves from others from whom we might learn how to escape our addictive paradigms and the paradigms' tendencies to lead us into repeated mistakes. If our self-talk is focused upon self pity we are bound to convince ourselves that we are essentially victims without power to take care of ourselves in healthy ways; so our self-talk of self pity leads us into being dependent upon others who should wisely care less for us than we do ourselves.
