It's so trippy to me that some people don't have an inner monologue, i still don't really understand how it works

You’re a WOW (worn out woman) who says we need to POP (protect our peace)!

sometimes I wish I didn't have an inner monologue so I could just learn to shut the fuck up

Wow, not having an inner voice is crazy for me. I have full discussions in my head with me, myself and I. As a very introverted person I would be so lonely if I couldn’t hear my thoughts 😵‍💫 wait maybe I’m introverted because I already can talk to myself .. ?! 😳

Without an inner dialogue, who corrects you when you’re alone & wrong? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔

I've heard about Aphantasia as well, the inability to visualize things in your mind. That, and having no inner monologue sounds so weird to me, especially the latter. Like, how does someone read for example?

Everyone has an inner dialogue but by calling it "dialogue" we place a limitation that it follows the structure of spoken language. It is not: it is us communicating in concepts and ideas with ourselves. If people were capable of communicating mentally, that's how it would go.

Have you heard of aphantasia? I don’t have an inner monologue and I also have aphantasia. It’s interesting that it’s uncommon

I don’t have an inner monologue as such, I don’t hear things, I don’t see things, I don’t see images or colours or hear my voice talking to me, but in still plan things out. They’re just...silent thoughts?!

I still have anxiety and overthink things and sometimes my brain won’t shut up at night, but it’s not actual noise. Just silent thoughts rolling by.

Is there a way to unsubscribe from the emails where I don't get any content because I'm not a paid subscriber? I love getting the morning newsy but all the extra emails are a bit of a faff!

Omg Luce no I couldn't sleep so I was reading the newsy at stupid o'clock in bed (4ish? am) and absolutely LOST IT at:

I’m especially concerned with ‘men wiping it on anything they can.’ Don’t do that.

Thankfully my partner is a heavy sleeper lol

Anyone else have an inner monologue that is a convoluted mess of dialogue, images, colours, feelings, and sounds? To be honest it is like having the Tasmanian Devil whirling around my head. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤯
