Inner Monologue

Nymzee · February 10, 2020

Up until yesterday I just presumed everyone had a voice in their heads and when reading or thinking they would be talking to themselves in their mind. Turns out I was completely wrong.

Anyone on here not have an inner monologue? Fascinating stuff.

A voice implies one...I've had Southern Baptist choirs going off sometimes.

Sometimes I wish my inner monologue would just STFU

I keep mine busy by always having it consciously thinking.

I found this surprising the other day.

I'm the other way around, I think things but never say them to myself. Can't imagine how strange it would be to hear yourself say every thought

I have a chorus - as in a greek chorus - commenting and arguing amongst themselves. Sometimes they point and snigger.

But how would they know who to kill and how?

I'm autistic so the paragraph about that was interesting but I can't really relate to it at all. For me, every thought is bounced around like a board meeting between me, myself and I, in very verbal English.
I think that may be why I always struggled whenever I tried to learn other languages -- because I never learned the language, I always tried to learn the translation to English and vice-versa. Might even apply to programming languages, too.

If my inner monologue became my outer monologue I'm fairly certain i wouldn't see the week out as a free man.

I don't know if this is an inner monologue so to speak, but all of you speak in an American accent when I read you. @Connor's posts are read in Charlie Kelly's voice. @MarcelsGoat is in Omar Little's voice. @davek is Gilbert Gottfried.
