福克斯新闻 压力山大? 试试用第三人称对自己说话

Talking to yourself in the third person. Yes, usually people would associate that with excessive hubris¹ or arrogance² even, but researchers at Michigan State and the University of Michigan have found that talking to yourself in the third person can trigger a part of your brain that associates it with the way you talk about others and after emotional experiences, using third person language helps you distance yourself from something traumatizing.

Other parts of the study also found that talking to yourself, whether first person or third person, can generally reduce levels of anxiety during periods of stress.

用第三人称对自己说话。没错，通常人们都会将这种行为与过分自恋甚至是自负联系在一起，但密歇根州及密歇根大学的研究人员发现，用第三人称跟自己说话能够刺激大脑认为你是在别人说话，在经历情感波折的时候，用第三人称对自己说话能够帮助我们从创伤中抽离出来。

该研究还发现，自言自语，无论是用第一人称还是第三人称，一般都能够在大家有压力时帮助大家减轻焦虑感。
