The voice in your head referring to what your grandmother would say is an example of an internalized significant other, which is a key component of symbolic interactionism. Significant others are individuals or groups whose opinions and attitudes are important to us and influence our behavior, and this internalized voice reflects the influence that your grandmother has had on your life and decision-making process.
