Congratulations, you are part of the 80%, the normie population. Just the kind to enjoy Vogue and watch dramas.

I had no idea that people genuinely had thoughts in their head like, linear, talking, in their own voice.

 

I wasn't like, baffled when I found out but- I thought it was a joke for a while. Until more and more people started talking about it and I realized Oh okay, this isn't a troll. 

 

 

I have a feeling though that most the people here don't have an internal monologue.

It's like what you type out here and in your blogs, except inside your own head.

Wtf?

You post your internal monologue on this site all the time wdym

She turns all of her internal monologue external. 

If she'd stop talking for a second, she'd probably notice it more. 

 a lot of no internal monologue-ers say they journal quite a bit, and always have been journalers. 

 

I'm, the same way. 

 

I think that when you don't have one, it can be difficult to feel organized about your thoughts and journaling really helps. 

 

Otherwise it's just all floating around up there, in various formats that aren't, as-... um. Linear. 

 

Basically I'm taking the clouds of stuff floating up there, pulling info from it, to make a journal post. Putting all of it into words. Explaining things, etc. Idk. 

 

I think the reason why I journal so much has a lot to do with the fact I can't do it in my head.

I have yet to meet someone without an internal monologue. It's all over their face and in their eyes.

 all the same information is still there but it's just in a different format... 

 

like you might think to yourself literally the words, "I need to go to the bathroom." after experiencing a sense of urgency. 

 

But, I would just picture the toilet I am about to go to, the pathway to the toilet on an arial view like a blueprint or a map, a gif of me opening the door to the toilet, etc. and many other related things to toilets like, images of hand sanitizer and, maybe 3D structures of a kidney. And I'll think about how much water I had that day, images of several glasses of water, or memories flashing of the times I took a sip. Or sometimes even older memories will flash up, all relating to, using the bathroom. The smell of toilets. etc. it Will all be there at once like BAM. Sometimes even cartoons I've watched, involving toilets or, gifs from TV shows I remember seeing- involving scenes with toilets. will come to mind. The words, "porcelain throne" will float through my head. Or, a story I heard a comedian tell once about the time he used a toilet in a Home Depot (childish Gambino stand up comedy) and I will see the images of him, standing on a stage, moving like a movie. The expressions on his face. The sound of the audiences laughter.

I've explained it before to people like, you know those cars that have the "multiple CD" dock thing? 

 

Where you can put into the slot, like 5 or 6 CD's and then they all rotate around in there, you can select which one you want to play? 

 

that's like my head. I usually have 5 or 6 CD's of thought all in there at once, I might switch really quick to the toilet track, and then that switches out and I go back to whatever I was thinking about before usually. Before I had the idea to go to the bathroom. 

 

And I switch around from all those CD's all the time.

This could be more about how much of your internal monologue that you retain after the fact. 

Your memory's kinda funny and prone to impressions as is.

This is interesting, didn't know there are ppl that can't imagine pictures. I can't imagine smells or tastes very well tho, but I can't say I can't do it at all.

 

I sometimes have 3 people internal monologue. The 3rd one is hard to explain, it's like I hear the other 2, but the 3rd is just thoughts without sound.
That being said, I have 2 ppl internal monologue all the time, but I have full control over when it goes and when it stops, some people reported they can't stop it, strange.

Cheery bye!

That doesn't mean you're not narrating yourself to yourself. You just do it like a filmmaker, as opposed to an author.

I have the multiple thought track system in my head, as well. 

When I was younger, things were more like a single movie, with a single soundtrack and a single voice narrating, but as I grew and enjoyed more and more sensation, and learned to pick and choose which yucky parts of my surroundings I wanted to ignore, the montage within became bigger, faster, louder, more colourful. I will often have 2 or 3 songs and several to-do lists all jumbled up in there with w/e my most recent project is. I love mashups and quirky vids like these bc they're the type of trip my imagination goes on when some boring repetitive stimulus threatens to make me start snoring.

 

 

 

lol religious whackjobs and preachy assholes. Just fucking lol

 

The visuals that go through my head are often  a lot like a Primus vid  :D

 

But that depends on where I'm trying to put my focus. What I want to stay with, what I want to ignore, what I love, what makes me feel good, what annoys me. So yeah, there's a ton of shifting emotion up in there as well.

 

I used to use music to study for math and chemistry tests, too  :D
