I guess I'm not understanding the differences.
when i read text i dont "hear" anything, i just see the words and know the meaning.
HOW'S IT GOIN? 😉👉👉
Instead I get to have a terrible loud anxious brain day :,)
Dude who's usually doing the internal monologue is in the corner having drained several bottles of hooch.
It's more likely to happen to me when I'm overstimulated

Me: “I love meditation do you love meditation I bet you’re really good at meditation I wonder whether the cat has been let out yet is this Thursday wait focus on what my breathing that’s an autonomous process why do people find this relaxing I get nothing…”
Not to make light of your plight, but are you saying that the first time you hear an idea is just after it comes out of your own mouth? Seriously, I don't understand.
i can think in words if i want to, but i don’t have to, and i don’t do so by default
“hearing” a thought is not the only way to have one, you can also see it, or feel it
I often write a note so after I am out in the garage putzing for an hour and go "what the hell did i come out here to get?" I can look at the note in my shirt pocket and exclaim SCREWDRIVER!
I find this whole topic fascinating. How different people think, process and perceive things in completely different manners.
But you are correct in that i can not imagine how my thought process would work without my inner voice.
interestingly, i had a lot more of an internal monologue when i was very depressed
I dont have loads of my voice overlapping each other in my head, it just feels like loads of radio channels that i get pulled into at random, if that makes sense

Can I trade mine for a non-yappy brain, or at least a brain that isn't like an evil ex-wife? Just transfer my conciousness to it, so my old one can be someone else's problem?
🧠: *plays linkin park on repeat*
I mean... how is that like? Is it just white noise? Are most people really just relaxing without thinking of anything in particular? what do you even do?
Shit I just realized that you probably don't know the answer, either.
We're still recovering from the ice storm. Have a great day🙂
Yes I'm thinky in the dentist chair lol
Am I welcome?
