The following are the
different types of intrapersonal
communication:
Internal discourse
Solo written communication
Solo Vocal communication

which are done entirely within the mind of the
individual.

writing that is not intended for others. Writing in
one’s diary and journaling are examples of solo

communication, which involves writing, solo vocal
