I do not understand. Can she not hear anything internally? If she recalls any memories does she remember the sound attached to it, like the sound of someone's voice etc? Can she memorise song lyrics without hearing the actually sound? I seriously don't understand. I thought everything we hear gets processed as fast the speed of sound, can she not process sound? How can you not have an internal monologue and not be deaf? How do you memorise song lyrics let tune if you can't internally recreate sound

Ur te ni se fi all day. Dave cant even type himself or shan. Dave is entp shan is estj.

So... are they the ones who are very vocal in bed?...

I think i have between the two. I have to really focus to clearly hear the voice when i read. But most internal monologues are coded images or invisible shapes/ codes. But it can also hurt like real voice when you are too much into overthinking. Maybe i have both. But the voice is very low so i have to use the inner symbols that we still cant vew but sense. But not hearing voices in dream must really be npc.

So they dont have to check themselfs and be like" hey! be nice" or like English is my second language but if I consume English content, I automatically start thinking in English..swearing, criticizing, laughing and on and on.. Weird!

Can you do an interview with someone with no inner monologue and no mental imagery (aphantasia)? It seems like she uses images in place of words in her brain. But what about those without images how do they "think" without words or images?😮

somehow i think i can believe this since it's a woman (can't 100% believe anything they say in front of cam)

I wonder if an internal monologue is hereditary

This guy is just here to be a skeptic lol Idk why he’s shooting down everything you say.

Are they better at recalling stories and memories? Are they deaf in the spirit realm? Are they more likely to listen to a lot of music or less likely to listen to music? Are they more or least susceptible to committing crime? Does it mean they always need to be stimulated since they don’t have a monologue stimulating themselves.

Where is the 50% of people with no internal monologue in this comment section?

Can’t help but feeling like she’s an NPC and this is like asking ChatGPT how it came up with an answer, trying to make sense of it on the go and not actually being self aware 😂

I'm grateful that I have inner speech

What I notice is that I don't feel like I'm the one thinking the thoughts. For example this sentence, I'm hearing it in my head and typing it but I cant really find where the idea starts, it just flows out. It's just like a constant river with no beginning or end. The thought comes from nowhere and then goes to that same place that it came from, which is nowhere. it's just a blip. When I really sit with it, I realize I'm just watching the thoughts go by, it really is what so many spiritual teachers talk about. It's as if I'm the sky, and my thoughts and sensations are simply clouds going by. I think we tend to identify and hold onto these clouds (thoughts and emotions) instead of just letting them go by. I get the sense that there is an awareness watching it all, after all, how else would "we" notice it? WE are that awareness, and it's all the same.

I'm convinced they're demons 🤷🏾‍♂️

I don't have an inner monologue, and reading is wonderful for me - fiction once I get into it is like a movie. I completely immerse into it.

I literally stumbled across your channel! Super congrats! Beautiful wedding🌟💖🥳

This sounds like a form of synesthesia. I have spacial sequential synesthesia and didn't know until just over 10yrs ago! And it blew...my....mind that people do not or cannot visually see dates, visual day, week, month, year, decade structures! Numbers too! I was like so if you have an appt can you not see an almost 3d calendar in your head? People said no! They just know the appointment is on that day ...me=🤯 Zooming in and out of decades Years, century blocks like pulling from a filing cabinet? Most said no and i just was so baffled!!!! I now know that there is a condition where people don't have the ability to visualise and I just find that super fascinating.

Cough.... NPC

It's interesting, I was thinking about this in middle school. Asked some 5 people on the bus, how they think. And I got a lot of funny looks. This was multiple decades ago ...

8:28 i feel like i am both of them. Every time he looked at the camera, i knew what he was thinking 10:45 i am still very confused. I need to sit with myself and talk about this

Matrix is real

I, simply, strongly, do not believe her lol

"Well, I don't think we learned anything. I'm still spiraling out of control... I don't know where we go from here." 🤣☠

those censor beeps were wayy too loud i cry

That is so fucking funny

I have lived several realities in my head and have never felt bored a day in my life. I’m constantly in my head and my inner monologue has never turned off. I’m having the hardest time understanding what she’s describing but I want to understand.

Honestly now I'm more confused as to whether or not I have an internal dialogue. I do not have a voice that I can "HEAR' in my head. There is no voice during my day telling me I'm weak or suck or made a bad decision or anything like that. No voice telling me I should turn left or right. But I do get lost in thought and think through situations and scenarios and imagine what I WOULD say if I were in a certain position. When I write something down, this sentence for example, I am THINKING about how it would sound when I say it as I write exactly how I speak. So in some sense there is a voice narrating this message that I guess???? is mine but it's not like I hear MY voice. I'm moreso acutely aware of the fluctuations and how it will SOUND to say. And then I'll say it the sentence out loud, at times, to confirm that it does in fact sound like I thought it would. I guess I need to do more research on what an inner voice is. I do talk to myself??? Or I do think in words internally but it's not just like ON. I don't struggle to sleep or turn a voice off. If I have a list of things to do I'll moreso picture an image of the thing that needs to be done. To commit something to memory I'll sometimes turn the image into words and actually think to myself, alright first I'll need to do x and then I'll do y but that's only when I want to be sure to get a sequence right and am trying to memorize it. I feel as most times my mind is a completely blank slate just observing the world around me. And i do of course have thoughts about things and have thoughts in words or talk to myself but that doesn't feel more pronounced to me than when I think in any other way. There is just information in my head that is in the back somewhere that I pull out of a file when it's relevant in conversation. I don't have a thought like "Oh come on dude you know the answer to this you just talked to x person about this the other day."

Wow, these experiences are so familiar. Some “tectonic plates shift” inside of me, and suddenly I know something. Putting the complex realization into words takes more time than most people will wait.

I can do both...when reading, it really slows me down if I verbalize the words in my head, i just see the words, mostly a few of them at once and once I see them I get the information at the same time. Most of the time I don't use my internal monologue, I use it when I actually have a talk about a certain subject...like I'm talking by myself, not necessarily with myself... if that makes sense.

That was a struggle session with the volume, due to the awful audio. I thought the content was interesting but damn it was hard to get thru this with headphones on…

I get that this is interesting, but why act so weird about it? Why would it make you uncomfortable?

Load of bs.

I'm saying, "WHAT?" to myself every 3 or so minutes.😂😂😮😮

Okay. So people that say they hit your voices, wonder if there are people that previously didn't have inner monologue, and all of a sudden, just clicked, and now they're telling themselves to go kill somebody, think about it

Is this add or pure ocd. I have same issue with reading and listening. But doctor said it is obsessive renumeration. While I dont have any compulsions like ocd. After watching this I am completely confused. I am always zoning out getting lost in random thoughts and unable to focus at all.

1:21 well i dont think i had an internal because it wasn't always.

My inner monologue has helped me change as a person over my life. It’s helped me be self aware and understand that I have an impact on other peoples lives, not just my own. Are these people self aware????

i want this super power

As humans have developed both carnivorous and herbivorous teeth Could it possibly be that the brain did the same thing. Like a predator vs prey mentality thing? Like how a predator has to think in advance to hunt and and prey relies mostly upon instinct to flee. So maybe some people have developed reflex vs foresight. I have a very hard time understanding how this works. 😅

Maybe they don't have an internal monologue because they lack souls.

I feel like I am a mix but my inner dialogue doesn’t shut up but still have some traits of her. But definitely relate more to the internal monologue.

Thanks for this interview bc I have wondered. My imagination is trying to imagine this state of being!!! And I wonder how boring would it be?

Is it just me, or they adjust attention-seeking? Like, every single one of them?

this must be how some people don't have anxiety about things that other people causes insomnia or drives them crazy. I would love to sometimes be able to just not think. People spend a lot of time trying to achieve an inner quiet, but perhaps these people w/o an inner monologue do not experience the la k of an inner monologue in this fashion.

6:30 I speak multiple languages, and definitely have an inner monologue.. I think in all the languages I speak lol.. I actually swap when I am using a particular language more e.g. if I travel elsewhere and have to speak the different language, I mostly swap my thinking language to it..

bruh this is fuckin me up rn... is it superior to monologuing? are they just just left brain af? idk my first impression was theyre computers with a splash of tism lol legit not trying to be offensive idk how else to say it

I wonder about the level of self awareness of people who don't have an Internal Monologue, I just found out yesterday that there are people who don't have one, it's so crazy to me! But explains a lot about my husband who says he doesn't have an IM and some others that I know.

She just doesn’t understand. It’s simple to see. She does indeed think in her head.
