Unironically talking to yourself

Long periods of isolation dwindle your vocabulary and that in turn reduces your range of thought. If you would hypothetically spend your whole life in the wilderness, day in and day out focusing on preparations for the following day without allotting time to focus on mental development and speech (for reasons above) you're pretty much fucked as a civilized man. And even then, no matter how hard you try to preserve your knowledge, your intellect, the time will take its toll.

Your personality, your ego are not immutable. The thing that you can truly preserve are, perhaps, only your core beliefs. The rest can be taken away from you by force of man or nature. And that is fucking scary. So you'd better be off thinking how you can avoid getting stranded at the first place, the rest will come by itself.
