I still don’t know whether that means my absolutely everyday way to think the words I am typing right now, or if some people can actually hear their “inner voice” like in a movie voiceover when the protagonists thoughts are narrated in the protagonist’s voice.
Or do people have a “dialogue” in their heads? I mean that never occurred to me because at least that part of "mono"logue is clear…
Still not specific enough. I may sometimes “think loud inside” i.e. think in sentence form / “I should definitely do this” - and I definitely “speak silently” in my brain when I am typing out a sentence like this one right here - but I think that is VERY much the norm if not impossible not to do - because writing down language requires the language center / processing skills of the brain.
Beyond that, however, I wouldn’t normally comment on what I see / do - because that’s… kinda redundant?
Does it mean there are people who really comment everything in their brains? Like “Mhh… this wall is yellow. There’s a doorframe to my right - the door is made of wood.” etc?
As far as I can tell there are people who have an inner dialogue going all the time but I doubt it’s always so mundane. But I don’t know. I’m more like you ( I think) where I thought these words out as I typed them but will probably go back to more abstract thought with music afterward.
yeah, that describes my thought process well - I am thinking in words while typing (or while reading, speaking, listening, obviously), but in abstract concepts when not interacting with language, but with objects around me.
It’s like talking to yourself, but not vocalizing it. At least that’s how I understand it

Pretty much the inner voice thing. Like you are talking yourself through what you are doing, commenting internally on what you see and stuff.
