For verbal intrapersonal communication, messages are formulated using a language, in contrast to non-verbal forms sometimes used in imagination and memory. In a wider sense, however, there are also types of self-to-self communication that are mediated through external means, like when writing a diary or a shopping list for oneself. Some theorists see this as the only form. Its most important type happens purely internally as an exchange within one's mind. Intrapersonal communication encompasses a great variety of phenomena. The term " autocommunication" is sometimes used as a synonym. It may be prompted internally or occur as a response to changes in the environment. Intrapersonal communication can happen alone or in social situations. Some theorists use a wider definition that goes beyond message-based accounts and focuses on the role of meaning and making sense of things. It is often understood as an exchange of messages in which the sender and the receiver is the same person. Examples are thinking to oneself "I'll do better next time" after having made a mistake or having an imaginary conversation with one's boss because one intends to leave work early. Intrapersonal communication is communication with oneself or self-to-self communication. Intensive thinking to oneself is a typical form of intrapersonal communication, as exemplified by Rodin's sculpture The Thinker.
