I personally do have an inner monologue, If you don't have one my question is how do you think to yourself?

[Simslover92]

I think any writer would. Heck, I think most people do but especially writers. When I'm at work I'm often having intrusive thoughts about my annoying coworkers and how they get on my goddamn nerves. It's like an episode in my head everyday. There is the loud one, the gossiper, the one who thinks he's funny when really he's not that funny, the player who flirts with all the women on the job, the guy who is one step away from blowing up the office because he's so freaking weird and creepy, and the boss who thinks they do a great job at managing everyone when really they micromanage.

[molonski2]

I thought that was just my old office hahaha.. Don't forget the boss who is an absolute control freak , yet he or she really have zero idea about anything.

[Simslover92]

Yep they are that too!

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Kind of sort of. I'm a 24/7 daydreamer so my mind is already occupied even if I don't have one. I'll sometimes do it out loud and be like "No! No, we aren't doing this, it's this." Like with my medicine today I sometimes almost grab the wrong one and I'm like "No, it's this one, not the other one. We don't need to fall asleep again."

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I have it incessantly but it's not a monologue. It's a dialogue.

A voice: You're a genius! You just did something amazing!
B voice: That wasn't nearly as good as you might think. Lots of people can do that.
C voice: You're just a worthless excuse for a human being.

It's a group chat in my case, not a monologue.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I usually go by the B voice (realist) above. But I like the C voice when I'm doing something stupid and I like the A voice when I'm really motivated.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Lots of people have complimented in the past for being modest but I have an extreme egomaniac inside of me. I just don't listen to it all the time. For example, when I'm cooking and I am trying a new recipe, I do the egomaniac Gordon Ramsay narcissist voice:

"Beautiful, lovely! Ammmazing! That's so great!" As I chop things up and taste things. It helps to motivate me being all egotistical here sucking my own D* if you will.

But then let's say I burn the dish. Now I start listening to the, "You're a moron! You suck! You're so lucky to even have a wife! WTF? You can't accomplish anything!" and I find that brutal voice useful then because it really helps me to burn my mistakes into my mind and learn not to repeat them too much in the future (although I have a tendency to repeat my mistakes so I might need that brutal voice even more than I am using now).

Then outside of that, I use the realist voice which is like, "Meh. You cooked a nice pasta dish al dente at the end but there are billions of people on the planet who can do what you just did. Don't grow a big head."

[worldscolide]

I do.. I've only recently discovered close to 40% of people dont have that. Which means said people have no imagination. Its sad.

[Siri137]

They're not human. They're NPC's.

[worldscolide]

You're absolutely right.

[Chazmatazz269]

I definitely do, and not unlike you i don’t understand how it’s possible to not. In fact, until i read a report on research on the matter and followed up with some moderate fact checking, i would have argued it’s not possible.
I’m certain i’d be generally more content if i could just shut it off. I don’t know if that would also be true if it simply didn’t exist.

[dustybiker2]

I hear my own voice when reading, but not thinking. And not when I have story ideas coming to me. Such as if I am thinking of character conversations. It's more my voice such as when I am reading an authors work.

[IslaTheWitch]

Yep... very chatty and opinionated one... :D

[jennifer_bloom]

I think in silent words and not in spoken voice.

[Aakash_Hangargi]

I think I have quadrale louge I am thinking something and I see that I am thinking
But also at the same time now I am engaged as in what to think the person the thought of what to think then to discuss and observe whether to say it or not.

[FreyaRed]

Yes, the devil and the angel talk to me inside my head. The devil seems to be more eloquent while the angel is a naive retard.

[wiltingrosepetal]

I can hear my thoughts but there isn't some voice telling me things independently. Hence why I don't have any intrusive thoughts

[NamerOfStars]

MONOlogue? There's only one of you in there? I guess that WOULD explain why so much of humanity has such tiny heads...

[strateguy632]

a few times a day like telling myself lengthy plans

[TheSpaceGnome]

Yes, everyone has that. The claim that 40% of the population doesn't is bs and anyone who's going to argue otherwise is a liar.

[itsclearlynicholas]

100cpercent daily I'm narrating my own activities and even in hindsight or after the day in review ahahahaha lol 😃😈😋😋👀👌🏻

[DrPepper12]

I'm told only sociopaths don't. Psychopaths do but unfortunately that voices let's hack that family up and burn down a motel.

[exitseven]

Yes, sometimes the voices tell me to kill, kill , kill.

[Anonymous]

It’s shocking to me to learn that apparently some people don’t have an inner monologue. I can’t imagine how it feels tbh

[Truthatanycost]

It feels completely peaceful, calming and it saves energy. It also creates a better connection with others because you can focus on them when they talk. But I learned how to silence the inner voice so I can choose whether to have one or not.

[ThaMaskedMarvel]

@Truthatanycost, how did you learn to silence the voice?

[Truthatanycost]

@ThaMaskedMarvel I was reading a book called 'The Power Of Now' by Ekhart Tolle and he taught how to do this. Before that point I had spent my entire life with compulsive thought and just thought it was the only way.

[Misscouincouin]

Absolutely!! My life is a movie for me it helps to enjoy life hihi I also have this imaginary camera to talk to when I’m discouraged by people🥳

[Anonymous]

Yes and No. I wouldn’t say I have an inner voice.
It’s more like an inner debate team.

[Goahead76]

I don't understand how you couldn't. I mean do these people have just flatline brainwaves?

[DaBiggestBird]

Many, sometimes they pop up on their own. I use certain ones with each Mode

[ThaMaskedMarvel]

What do they sound like & which modes do you use them for?

[DaBiggestBird]

@ThaMaskedMarvel some voices I use are Donald Trump, George Bush, Bill Clinton, Barack Obamna, Goku, Goku Black, Zamasu, Jiren, Kermit the Frog, Perfect Cell (DAU), Rexy…….

The modes don’t have names yet but if I’m feeling serious or irritated, the voice will change to Jiren usually and sometimes Frieza if I’m roasting someone.

[ThaMaskedMarvel]

What situations do you use Donald Trump, Barack Obama, Goku Black for?

[DaBiggestBird]

@ThaMaskedMarvel Trump = mostly expressing irritation
Obama = Casual talk
Goku Black = Monologue

[lorenzomichael]

no, but I have an Italian text voice. Can you hear it? Lol😂

[normalice]

More of a music video absent lyrics.

[normalice]

Oh, and when I say "music" I mean things like fantomas's suspended animation album. Not anything I could turn into profit by reproducing for others to hear 😅

[NathanDavis]

I have 16 of them

[Siri137]

Yes. Doesn't everyone?

[MemeSupreme]

yeah but it sound different than my voice kinda

[RedInnocent69]

I do. It makes me do bad things.

[mmmBadBoy]

Evet tabikide sen haklisin

[Siri137]

[DishLady]

Yeah.

[laly520]

[Charliefretz329]

[BLP11520]

[Truthatanycost]

That's what I used to think...
