Apparently people have inner monologues..?
I don’t have an inner monologue, i just found that out today that people have inner monologues I thought that was a thing only in manga and movies. I think me subconsciously hearing a voice in my head 24/7 would make me have a psychotic breakdown

Wyn you guys don't narrate everything you do... I love doing it makes me feel like I'm a fictional character
This probs should’ve have been a question lol
But wdym narrating ur life is that an intentional thing or is that subconscious my mind is empty lol
And I was wondered what it would be like to NOT have the inner voice, like I’ve heard people say they don’t have inner monologue but HOW DO YOU FUNCTION WITHOUT THAT? (Respectfully asking) like even as am I typing, there’s this person narrating…sometimes this voice gets so loud I’d have to physically tell myself OUT LOUD TO SHUT TF UP! can you please tell more about your experience?
Idk my mind is empty i live on but i just don’t hear a voice in my head it’s not there im not talking to myself i daydream sometimes but there isnt anyone there even when in typing stuff out or doing things it’s silent, even when reading sometimes I have a voice in my head when starting to read a story but when I’m in the zone there’s no inner monologue reading the story or when I’m thinking
I have thoughts sometimes? but I don’t voice them to myself
I put on background noise and focus on the video I’m watching or whatever I think that’s how I cope when im doing work I’m not going threw the steps with myself or voicing anything like they do in manga lmao I thought that was crazy people actually have conversations in their head like that, that doesn’t happen to me it shook me lol
So you’re in a hyper focused mode….most of the time? Like what you do when you actually wanna talk to yourself? Do you have to voice it out? Do you wanna have an inner voice? Like does it hamper you in anyway not being able to have that or it’s peaceful instead? Sorry if it’s awk…..just curious
I’ve always assumed that everyone who reads as a hobby develops inner monologues.
Girl i dont have one either but it drives me crazy cause i used to, and now i feel like a robot constantly dissociating T_T
Gurl same after this post I feel like a zombie now lol
But if there's no voice in your head, how do your thoughts work? Like my thoughts are just me talking in my head.
Idk I think I still have thoughts but I’m not voicing my thoughts to myself
Even when typing out I’m not saying the words in my head
I have at least two voices in my head all of the time (sometimes it's like having a conversation, sometimes it's just different trains of thought), often music, and sometimes background noise that isn't fully formed words just idk floating ideas. It's all happening at the same time, like layers that move closer or further away from consciousness lol
I still don't understand how people without an internal monologue think. I know they do, I just don't know how it works lol
That's normal.
Isnt that.. a form of mental illness?
Wdym u guys don't talk to urself I actually flirt with myself in my head
that is so real...
I talk to myself.
I not only talk to myself, I create fictional people in my head to argue with sometimes too.
actually, in middle school, I imagined an entire older cousin who would sleep in the same bed as me just to talk.
As someone who talks to myself from the moment I wake up all the way until I go to bed as if there’s another person living inside my head….I thought that was normal-
