Intrapersonal communication is a form of communication that happens solely within an individual's mind [1]. Intrapersonal communication encompasses the internal thoughts that one has, including thoughts that arise in conversations with others and ideas that are conceptualized when one is alone [1]. Intrapersonal communication is also often referred to as self-talk and both concepts are often mentioned concurrently [2].

Intrapersonal Communication and Self-Talk

Positive and negative self-talk is shown to be an important aspect of everyday life [2]. Research has shown the inner discussions that an individual has with themselves influences their overall mental health [2]. Individuals with more positive forms of self-talk can encourage themselves through the use of intrapersonal communication [2]. Oppositely, the negative form of self-talk can be discouraging for an individual's intrapersonal communication [2]. People who reaffirm positive life events through intrapersonal communication and positive self talk are shown to have an increased well-being compared to those who engage in negative self-talk surrounding negative life events [3]. Positive and negative self-talk can happen simultaneously and this often has an impact an individuals worldview [2]. The way that an individual copes with their different forms of self-talk from various situations can impact how an individual engages socially with other people [3]. Relationships with family, friends, acquaintances, and strangers can largely be impacted by intrapersonal communication [3].

Intrapersonal Communication in Couples Relationships

There are many ways that an individual can experience intrapersonal communication [4]. This is due to the fact that intrapersonal communication can occur in a wide variety of settings, forms, and frequencies, which impacts people differently [4] . The environment that an individual grows up in and their personality type impacts how each person uses intrapersonal communication in daily life [4]. It is important to note that in particular, there is a correlation between the use of interpersonal communication and the overall satisfaction within spousal relationships [5]. The concept of intrapersonal relationships was first used by Linda Lederman in 1996 to describe the idea of how intrapersonal communication has an impact on an individual's other relationships [1]. Couples who have different ways of communicating interpersonally are likely to engage in negative discourse, due to their different communication styles [5]. With couples who are deeply interrelated with one another, stress can occur within a relationship if each partner's own individual intrapersonal communication styles are incompatible [5]. If both individuals in a couples relationship have similar intrapersonal communication styles, this is often a predictor of a more stable relationship [5]. Intrapersonal communication is an important dynamic within couples relationships and impact the view an individual has on their relationship [5].

Intrapersonal Communication in Online Settings

Online communication can also have an impact on an individual's intrapersonal communication style [6] . Although an individual may go to the internet to reaffirm the intrapersonal conversations occurring in their mind, online discourse can change the intrapersonal communication style a person decides to use [6]. The goals that an individual aims to achieve through their intrapersonal communication can shift through the use of online communication methods [6]. Intrapersonal communication styles can also be reaffirmed in online settings [6]. Individuals can find content on digital forums that align with their beliefs and this can further establish their intrapersonal communication style [6][7]. The intrapersonal communication style an individual uses upon entering online forums impacts the way that an individual communicates online [7]. The varying public opinions that can be shared through an online discussion forum connects back to the varying intrapersonal communication styles meshing and contradicting one another simultaneously [7]. Whether an individual has a positive or negative form of self-talk in their intrapersonal communication development, this impacts the way an individual chooses to present themselves when participating in online discourse [2][3][7].
