Absolutely.
I usually say everything I'm about to say before it comes out of my mouth.

Honestly, it's a little more slow and bassy first.
I just feel like I sound like a crimean criminal so I try to make it a little easier to hear aloud.

Esp. since American.

Always been this way. Even when I was like 9 or 10.

For those of your who don't, how do you think? How do you make decisions? Is it all based on impulse?

This has all happened before.
It will all happen again.

usually more of an open-ended internal conversation

only when I'm reading stuff in my head honestly. everything else happens as I do it. think of it as an online video game, you don't plan things out loud before you hit the keys you just do.

Internal AND external. Fun tidbit, there's possibly a brain region thing that causes some people to be better able to process thought engrams when they vocalize them.

More fun is various forms of afantasia. Some folks can't "hear" sounds internally that aren't in their own voice, others have a complete inability to create mental images.

I knew of both, I do not. It must suck to have to actually say everything you're thinking in your head. Also I imagine thoughts get churned out slower with that type of thinking.

I have more than one internal voice so nah it's fun.

Just always arguing with myself.

Honestly, though, I don't think I would be able to survive without being a druggy.

But how do weigh pros and cons in your head before making a decision? How do you choose what to do without thinking it through first?

I've seen this before. It has to be an elaborate troll.

That sounds like a light or early form of schizophrenia.

I do think it through, but there's no words.
My thoughts just "happen" no words involved. Honestly it's kind of hard to explain.

the same way you drink water or take a deep breath. sure maybe if it's something that life altering you have some introspection, but having a narrative constantly go through your head sounds like absolute hell.

A. I am schizophrenic and yes it's light.
B. BUT I mean I'm just representing my different options and direct want/need for them with the same vocalized oppinions.

I'm just really really REALLLYY conflict prone.

>I think it's more boarderline personality disorder than schizoaffective.

You're an NPC, of course you can't explain it. None of you NPCs ever can because you just do whatever you're programmed to do.

Not if you like words.
Your viewpoint is sort of reminiscent of a cat if you were to explain some level of like competitive athletics to him.

He doesn't get it, but it doesn't change anything.

Like explaining Nihilism to a priest.

Unlike I'm not actually schizo, but nice try.

interesting, I had heard that the internal monologue is actually more rare. it certainly explains why there are so many people who can't seem to think before they speak. they really do need to talk in order to work out issues, which makes it even more sad that society is built in a way where we just have to hide our emotions and play nice all day.

My niece lacks one. It sometimes makes her look dumb but she's not at all. She understands basic ruby script and she's in the 3rd grade so that says something I guess.

when you type on a keyboard do you physically have to think of where every letter is and then say to yourself "ah the letter f" before you move on to the next letter in the word? Most people just have that sort of thing to muscle memory. I'm saying thay life's not so deep that every menial task deserves a narrative.

No SCIENCE! whatsoever, but there's anecdotal evidence that visualizers are more likely to be artistically inclined, more emotionally driven, and more credulous. Maybe your thought engrams are more malleable? Open minded in the truest sense -- open to asequential thought, open to novelty, but open to others so open to manipulation.

No, unless:
1. I am simulating a conversation in order to formulate what I want to say/should have said or recalling past conversations/things I've read.
2. Thinking about a complex enough topic/topic I am not familiar enough with and I need to think in examples
3. Attempting to understand a new topic, after I do and if the topic is simple enough, I can suppress the monologue and handle it faster.
4. [I screw up and want to swear/tell myself I suck] or praise something but not out loud.

The monologue is faster than I could speak but slow enough I could understand it if I heard it at that speed.

Sometimes I spontaneously start to do it again without needing to, this is annoying and slows my thinking down and sometimes hard to kill.

This was also in the thread I found that first one. It's far harsher, but has a point.

people who have this constant narrative: how do reflexes work for you?

>recalling... ...things I've read.
I meant trying to recall something with the exact words I heard/said/read it.

Reflexes? They come. And I think about them and decide whether or not I want to act on them or not. How do you decide to act on them?

I talk to myself basically every minute I'm alone. My brain isn't talking otherwise, it's just noise. My IQ is 126 for reference

Here's the last one. I just can't believe this is real.

The cartoon of that guy in his profile is doing the NUMALE open mouth fag thing.

Spontaneity is a better word for it. This just happens more or less for everyone.

I hear nothing. Just my thoughts floating around. Trying to put it into words is hard.

>Discovering object permanence as an adult
That must be one hell of a reckoning. The guy went through every stage of child development through sheer fucking will.

Most of them are kinda obvious and done before I realize what's going on. You don't stay in something that hurts (heat, pain, or otherwise) and you usually try to get out of the way of something. Most of that is involuntary so I imagine you don't really get something thought out in time.

make some tulpas to have more arguing partners

My dad is a high school teacher, and he was surprised to find that many of his students had no internal monologue. He'd be in the middle of a lecture, and suddenly Tyrone would blurt out "damn, I wanna apple right now..." And he would just marvel in disbelief.

It's fucking mind blowing. This is either an epic troll or one of the most profound psychological discoveries in history.

yes, the majority of people have an inner monologue

Can you imagine images? Music?

As far as I can tell, yes. I've heard people justify it as "living in the moment" but lets be real, its knuckle-dragger syndrome. Knee-jerk responses to everything, literally everything. Protoplasmic behavior that has somehow, inexplicably, through sheer force of will, has managed to become bipedal.

this is last week's reddit content
fuck off back there

Is this something he always noticed or is it more recent?

Yeah but nigga you gay.

That's some 'shit that never happened' story dude.
Don't believe his horseshit.

This is looking more and more like an assumption than a fact.

He's been teaching since '86 and its always been a thing, but he sees it more and more recently, and its becoming increasingly prevalent in those you wouldn't expect (white people).

this is looking more and more like some sorta Yas Forums bullshit designed to inconspicuously hate on groups of people

I bet it's because of JEWS.
Right?

Yeah, that really happened.

Nah it's the difference between blinking/breathing manually and letting it happen. Some people just autopilot through their lives and some people have to argue the cost benefits of using their right hand or their left hand to jerk off.

Yeah, it's like being a 'sunny weather' person.
Like I get it but it's not appealing.

Two of the three images I posted were from reddit. But I do tend to agree, it's hard to believe.

People wouldn’t post anything but hard facts here.

I wouldn't say that. I think its more to do with lack of parental involvement at an early age. Kids aren't getting the one-on-one stimulus they need at home, and they certainly aren't getting it in after-school programs, daycare, etc. Kids need to be challenged early, taught critical thinking at a young age, otherwise they learn little more than reaction in self-preservation.

And often when working in a complex topic, there is something I would have to sacrifice lots of time and effort into if I were to put it into words, strongly encouraging me to attempt to suppress the monologue.

you've gotta learn to speed-read your internal monologue. There's a difference between thinking in linguistics and waiting for your internal voice to finish a full sentence before acting on it.
