Do you have an internal monologue?

Question

Not sure if this was posted already/allowed, but I found this so mind blowing 
How is this??!! Do you read everything you text or read out loud? Sometimes me imagining things helps me...
Question for whoever doesn’t have internal monologue; 
You don’t ever daydream about anything? Does this imply you don’t have a photographic memory? Or you do and your mind just spells it out in a sentence? If I forget something, the object or whatever I forgot will continuously run through my head until I do it

Accepted Answer

I don’t understand how people don’t. Mine never shuts the fuck up.

Answer

Yeah my brain ain't ever shut the fuck up. Got that internal monologue plus a song playing plus probably something else 😂 I understand the concept of not having an internal monologue but it's impossible to actually imagine

Answer

This was posted before, but it’s a really interesting topic! i guess it just got removed because it’s not much of a “controversy”, but it’s a lot better than what’s been posted recently 😩

Answer

I'm practically narrating my entire life in my head

Answer

I just learned some people can’t smell something that isn’t there. 
For instance... I can smell my old lavender plants thinking about it. They’ve been dead in another state for over a year now.

Answer

Y’all comments on this post have me rethinking life.

Answer

I don't have a visual mind at all, so it honestly confuses me when people say they have a photographic memory or can see objects. Or even alot more than a single object. I can only see things when I dream. I believe most people aren't visual thinkers.
So yes, I hear my own voice in my head and I also have conversations with people like friends, family, or my spouse in my head. Things ranging from myself saying, "Where did I leave my keys?" In my head, to having long conversations about different topics. Especially when I'm trying to work through a problem. Usually with the long conversations I'm talking to "someone else" even though it's still just in my head.

Answer

I’ve daydreamed my entire life since I was a little girl, and have kept myself entertained whenever I was doing anything by playing out scenarios in my head. I could do it for hours. I honestly couldn’t imagine my life as a child without being able to visualize anything. I mean does someone who doesn’t have internal monologue ever reminisce about their childhood? Do they ever look back and see themself as a little kid?? 
I have so many questions 😭 even when I was pregnant I could somewhat visualize what my baby would look like and so on￼

Answer

Mine doesn’t stop I swear I have a radio show going on in my head because I can hear my voice talking in my head and then I’ll have different songs playing in my head too 😂

Answer

And also, no! I’m not really aware of my thoughts at all, they’re way too fast for me to actually “follow”. I didn’t know people really had a voice inside their head! I wonder if it correlates with talking to yourself, which i’ve never done but a lot of my friends do
