Do you have an inner monologue?

If so, is it asking you deep questions or narrating your life?

 

[Nebulous]

I do have an inner monologue. Its not asking me deep questions or narrating my life. Its more like me talking to myself in my head. Thinking things out before talking.

 

[Elvira]

Inner voice, but no narrator.

 

[PGen98]

I do, but it's not a pleasant voice.

 

[Nebulous]

I do, but it's not a pleasant voice.

 

[PGen98]

Well, more self harm than harm to others, but yeah...

 

[Nebulous]

Yeah right, you'd murder us all if you had the chance.
.....just kidding.

 

[PGen98]

I can't harm my Nebby or my Webby or anyone!

 

[Nebulous]

I can't harm my Nebby or my Webby or anyone!

...include @PGen98 in that list!

 

[PGen98]

[Crys]

Yeah. No, not really. I feel it's more like...aww yeah!

just without Brad Pitt's voice.

The topic of inner monologues is really interesting. Some have said that something like 50 to 70% of people don't have an inner monologues. Which is astounding to me, I can't even conceive of what it would be like to function like that. For myself I very much have an inner monologues. One which is experienced as containing multiple points of reference. Which is helpful when I am trying to learn theory. But at times it can also be through imaginary internal conversations with people I know.

I am thinking those without inner monologues just do everything based on instinct and gut reactions, kind of like an animal does? I dunno

Yes, my anxious brain is my inner monologue.

 

[Nebulous]

Yes, my anxious brain is my inner monologue.

Are you always anxious?

 

[Dee]

Are you always anxious?

Yes, I have generalized anxiety disorder and am on Lexapro. It doesn't get rid of the anxiety completely, but it tones it down a lot.

I remember someone on social media once mentioning how they think more in terms of visuals. I wonder if for a fair amount of them they are simply more outwardly focused and in tune with their environment and/or senses. I have seen people asking about it on some groups I am in on Facebook and from the opposite perspective they express that they are genuinely confused as to how someone can have an internal monologue.
