I donāt really have a distinct internal monologue and def donāt hear my thoughts in my own voice- Iām a twin and my sister does have an internal monologue in her own voice! But itās hard to explain what shape thoughts take for me- thinking in Vibes or something ššš
Itās my voice but itās definitely not me because she refers to me. For instance when I need to get up in the morning itās like ādude you have to get up you have so much to do and you canāt afford to have a late start.ā In other words, itās never coming through in the first person. So itās like someone with my voice constantly talking to me I guess. Sheās cool though, a little judgy at times, but really fucking funny and I couldnāt imagine living my life without her tbh. The biggest con to an internal monologue in my experience is that I canāt shut it off. And you canāt really ignore it because itās in your head. Itās insane to me that people donāt have internal monologues, though. Like yāall are just thinking on mute? Thereās no one else up there?
i can very very clearly picture entire scenarios play out like film scenes or just conjure up imagery related to whatever's on my mind. but if i'm just thinking random thoughts ("i need to pay my phone bill later" "fuck my stupid life" etc) i don't see anything and just hear my own voice in my head saying it to me. for instance typing this out right now i'm hearing it all in my own voice as i write
I have a pretty constant drone of inner dialogue in my head throughout the day. It narrates every second of every day, and sometimes creeps out through my mouth especially when i'm alone. when i'm alone i start talking to the void like i'm livestreaming or vlogging. i rarely have a moment where i am not talking to myself whether inside my head or outwardly, and sometimes when my ADHD goes into overdrive and I have like multiple streams of thought going at once, I will have to focus on reeling it back into one stream of thought again (kinda like that joe rogen "it's entirely possible" meme lol).
truly Americaās pastime. I was reading in the park earlier and overheard a girl dishing about a breakup to her friend who was kinda implying she was in the wrong⦠and she was like āso did I lie? Yes. But I meant it at the timeā and then explained to her friend how the NYT connections puzzles work. I only hope people are as thrilled when they listen in on my crazy ass. I love being nosy
really just stretching your whole body so intensely youāre using muscles you didnāt even know you had and squeaking like a little mouse. wiggling like a worm on the sidewalk after it rains when you poke it with your shoe, but a little slower. maybe more snake than worm. but to each their own
