As for the experience of speaking in monologue, people often notice that speaking without the need to get it out quickly before someone interrupts allows them to go deeper and deeper into what they are saying and discover more about the significance of what they are noticing. Finally, in the spaciousness of a few-minute monologue, participants report being more likely to speak the truth because their thoughts and emotions were more clearly heard and understood, by themselves and by their listening partners.
