Before starting a conversation, I usually run a sort of simulation in my head beforehand, to know where the conversation might lead and what I should think of beforehand.

I’ve gotten good at creating different “paths” of the conversation too, so I can anticipate different outcomes and go with whichever route has manifested.

Usually my thoughts are neither words or images. I really cannot describe what form they take, but the closest I can get is that it's like how, in a conversation, your brain conceptualizes what you want to express next before you choose which words to express it with. Take that intangible form of ideas and just, never put the words to it even though you know exactly what it is

[@shadowsneak100]

Yes! This! I have an inner monologue to help with stringing sentences together when I need to write something out but most of the time I feel like my thoughts are very much just spaces full of intangible things.

[@cottenedkeys]

I think it's the unsymbolized thinking

[@Laura-kl7vi]

It's funny...you say " it's closest how when your brain conceptualizes what you are going to say before you choose the words...". For me, I don't "conceptualize" before the words come. The words-which are my inner monologue-come, and I say them. Or, if it's during a complex communication, I immediately hear words as my inner dialogue in order to conceptualize, then I may somewhat modify by choosing words more carefully. Where I trip up is that I just want to blurt out what I want to say without having to change it to fit the social situation. It takes effort.

​@Brandon Smith its weird. I never understood it until i got a TBI but now i see both worlds. Basically for me instead of having words to describe what i want to convey to others i just have a feeling inside. I can feel the meaning of what i want to communicate but i just cant come up with the words to do so. Imagine that feeling you get when you know right from wrong then trying to explain that feeling, where it came from and why you have it without being able to use words.

Inner monologue and Inner feeling. I can sometimes feel the emotion of having something, or doing something, before actually being in that situation. Which makes me feel more prepared to confront stressful situations or the like before they actually happen, to the point where once the real deal is taking place, people ask me why I'm not nervous about it. I reply to them "I am", while keeping to myself: "it's just that I've had this situation happen a lot of times in my mind before this moment."

I'm an inner monologue person but when I start to get tired it dulls down to visual thinking and eventually to just having emotions over things that I'm thinking about, yet I'm so tired I often don't know what thought evoked an emotion. I feel like a lot of people have the same thought process however they feel embarrassed about it and never admit it. it's like having somebody call you out for having a long face, and you brush past it but internally you snap out of a trance where you feel upset for no current reason, which makes you even more upset and defensive

[@hiya569]

I agree mostly with that

[@jJust_NO_]

yes.. its less energy consuming to talk visually than arranging your thoughts articulately. more so trying to think productively like philosophical abstractions and whatnot.. emotions are thought creations too. you think in feelings and it needs a honing of your attention to grasp the nebulous component of emotional tone and articulate it in words, the whys, where and what. its fastly created sometimes and gone before you make aware of it. its called in short as a mood. a cloud of judgement. and there is another more mystical feature of our existence you can tap as well. its telepathy. i can sometimes see the 'aura' of another person and feel what his/her mood is. i can sense them without verbal communication. it could be just my imagination but ive been proven wrong time and time again because i get confirmation through them afterwards. its fascinting. being a psychic is a real damn thing.

Recently I have been seeing a therapist, I actually have 1,2,3 and 5. It's not fun in my case. No one understands you and a lot of the time your different way of thinking is seen as a social issue cause no one will or wants to put in the effort to actually give a shit and try to understand you. Which over the course of 20+ years and an extremely horrible childhood equals a person with very very intense thoughts and feelings good and bad with extreme creativity and artistic skill but who is also trapped in something my therapist has revealed to me as being a "Paracosmic fantasy" (its fucking trippy and i thought everyone could see what I saw when I closed my eyes growing up, but they dont) with barely any real friends, too many emotions and thoughts to deal with, and heightened mental health issues. Because I can visually, verbally, emotionally and physically experience my own thoughts, I'm hyper aware of every little thing and am in a constant state of sensory overload. The paracosm in my head is so fucking vivid that I have full conversations and friends who live in an ENTIRE FUCKING UNIVERSE my brain has created for me to escape the real world, and because I can think the way I do I can genuinely experience that place as if it genuinely exists. The people I know and thier stories, the world in my head.. you will never know.. and if your wondering yes, Medication is coming soon. There's alot more to this that what I've said, alot of these things I'm just putting together myself with my therapists help. Of course my situation may be different to others. But for those of you who are wondering, take a person who thinks that intensely, put them in an abusive household for 20 years and what you get is a mentally ill loser with no friends, an overactive brain, living in a fantasy world brought on by a combination of thinking that intensely and not getting the stimulation and support needed for that to become a positive trait or a tool to be used in a productive manner. Now I just have a basket of mental illness and complete control of a nonexistent universe that is entirely made up in my head. Sometimes it feels like this one is the fantasy world, most times I wish it was. I wish I could meet others who can think like I do, maybe then it wouldn't be such a painful ability anymore.

[@internetfasting80085]

Thats also a psychological exercise called "role playing", only instead of the trope in cinema of couples pretending to be the other, it is literally just you pretending to be different versions/emotions/states/stages of yourself. Which is weird as for the longest time such depersonalization, compartmentalization, and splitting of consciousness was labeled a disorder (schizo/DID, MPD, etc). Although, with modern neuroscience, we already know the sensory & thought matrices of brain can be "rewired" into each other for senses (tasting colours, seeing sound, hearing a touch, etc) sooo, tehcnically, the engine can be in the trunk, or under the hood, or, technically, spread out through the entire vehicle...which it also technically is (otherwise cars couldnt accerlerate or be driven direcionally @ all).... most of this devolves into semantics & nostalgic "a priori" abstractive "symbol"(language) base encoding (how we learned letter as runes for sounds, and then letters into words, words into stories etc).

In my head there is nothing going on, if I look at someone and they have a ring on there left ring finger, i know there most likely married without thinking about it. ill just look at it and know. If im doing math, i dont think to myself "15x3, hmm 10 x 3 is 30 and 5 x 3 is 15 so the answers 45" i have to solve it on paper jf i dont know it from memory because i cant really think about solving it.

[@deweymccall2023]

50% inner speaking. 50% in feeling

[@achillesthighs]

It sorta depends on the subject, like, if im trying to figure out which direction I'm supposed to go to, I definitely think visually. Otherwise, I have an inner monologue. The weird thing is, they never overlap at a given time.

[@powderedwater4742]

its weird for me, I usually just know what Im thinking. like I dont need pictures but I can imagine them, and I also dont need dialog but when I do think words, I know what my thought is already but I still just feel like saying them in my head. I dont think "I need to go to the store" I just know it. I feel like most people do this but language has become so integrated in human life that most people also just think in words without realizing that they dont need to.

[@oldclips_edits]

Definitely inner speaking I talk to myself in my head it’s why I never feel alone

[@andreasandersen7809]

The one I do most effortlessly is inner dialogue, but I can do all off them at the same time! Usually I can visualise things and look at text, feel feelings, smell and feel the wind and have a dialogue describing and talking over it if that makes sense! It’s really confusing, and it gets supercharged if it’s something emotional from my past I visualise 😊

[@surrealistgirlx]

Very cool!

[@plazima]

Oh my goodness you scared the shit out of me

[@meridian5952]

Before I learned to talk, I had no inner dialogue. I had become frustrated with communicating in words, so to get better at it, I decided to translate as many thoughts into words as possible to get better at communicating. Now I have an inner dialogue, but I occasionally struggle to translate certain thoughts into words.

[@heathenthatheretic5960]

Can I ask, when did you learn to talk? I don’t want to assume anything

[@LetsPatchItUp]

All these decisions BEFORE you learned to talk? Amazing! I'd love to know more. Can you please clarify or expand on this?

[@hggs4466]

Before having an interior monologue I would translate my thoughts verbally without caring about how others felt about them now I have locked that up inside my head so I have no struggle understanding my thoughts also helps I have an immense vocabulary

[@heathenthatheretic5960]

@Patcharee Boyd I asked the same question 4 hours ago

[@Forsen807]

When did u learn to talk that’s crazy

[@JokerChany]

I think mainly with words and occasionally ill think images. The inner person is honestly the most chill guy ever

[@yeetmeister8996]

I tend to monologue with myself when I need to communicate with different parts of myself internally, which sounds weird, but I feel like there’s another conscious entity in me that isn’t exactly the speaking part of me that I occasionally need to order around cause they’re being unhelpful. Then when I’m thinking about going to brush my teeth, it’s more like: “Brush teeth.” With the non verbal thought that once I’m ready I’ll get up to do it. When someone tells me to remember something, I visualize a video in my head to remember it. So I’m a bit of a mix I guess.

[@ragilespir9328]

good for you, it's a more advanced technique than just simple monologue. There's also the technique of becoming that conscious character, which is so much harder but really rewarding.

[@boogiedown_]

Definitely an emotional feeler / unsymbolized. I never understood what people meant by "visualize it in your head" because I can't lol, nor hearing yourself think

[@ampersandellipsis747]

how do you read anything with visuals in it? Like if I said "The scene is set in a tranquil countryside meadow, bathed in the soft, warm glow of the setting sun. The sky is a canvas of pastel hues, with shades of pink, orange, and lavender merging seamlessly, casting a gentle, ethereal light over the landscape." you wouldn't see or hear that out loud?

[@victorgoth6178]

​@@ampersandellipsis747exactly, we cant hear or visualize anything in Our heads, but we can still think and hear I World describe it like that we experience it but IT gets processed instantly

[@danielledula715]

Yes, we can only think the thought of that scene but we can’t actually see it

[@danielledula715]

I’m an unsymbolized thinker which makes even more sense knowing that I also have aphantasia (no ability to visualize). Feels like I’m going through the world missing a piece of my brain or like some part never got connected. Craziest part is to realize other people think and go through life with such different experiences and realities.

[@Bucket0fLynx]

I’ve been trying to figure this one out for a while. I’ve got ADHD so I’ve got multiple dialogues but I remember things through emotion and feeling however I also seem to have a strong image focused mind but I’ve got aphantasia so I can’t actually visualise the images but I can like feel them? Idk man it’s a mess

[@BlitzMaul]

You have a strong image focused mind but you have aphantasia? lol I don't get that

[@marufernandez3012]

​@@BlitzMaul I'm assuming it's self diagnosed

[@Bucket0fLynx]

@@BlitzMaul yeah it sounds contradictory when you say it like that. Ig it is though. Idk how to explain it

[@Faesharlyn]

The impression of the thing, how it feels in the hand, how it smells or how the body feels when using it but not a visual image?

[@BlitzMaul]

@@Faesharlyn Read what you wrote with no context lol

[@DesertRose63]

💯 % inner dialogue at all times. My voice, if that makes sense. I've been that way since my 1st memories. I think out loud, which I've also done since childhood. I remember hearing my mother's "frequency" sound in my head when she was coming. If I had to explain it, its' similar to tinnitus ringing. I visualize pictures easily in my mind. Are we all just freakin' weird?

[@OrionDoesThings]

I'm a mix of roughly equal parts speaking, seeing and feeling. They can sometimes overlap but it's very rarely all three at once. The wierd part is that the inner monologue from a third person perspective about 50% of the time, like there's some semi-omniscient narrator talking through my thoughts, feelings and actions inside my head.

[@jacobbarton6689]

i have an inner monologue, but i also visualize the things i think about (or talk about i guess) in my head. I ask myself questions, answer the questions, and imagine myself doing things all in my head.

[@Stroke999]

I'm definitely a visual thinker, if i think about something i usually create a 3D interactive rendering of it in my mind, even if it's just numbers, words or physical properties of something I've never seen before. Quite bizarre but useful.

[@Newfiecat]

You're probably really good at those puzzles where you have to flip a shape around in your brain!

[@PizzaFruitMan]

I'm low key jealous of people who hear someone in their head. A nice smooth voice actor speaking out loud my thoughts would be sick.

[@shivanshlolayekar9668]

Idk about other people, but that's not the case for me. It's just, my voice, and nothing else :/

[@SilverKnucker]

It's interesting to think about this and how people like me, with DID figure out what is us or an alter. Also in this mix is the absolute lack of visual thinking/memory called aphantasia. (Which I also have)

[@BryanGC]

I experience both inner speakings and seeing all the time. So for example, I need to buy some groceries, so I sit on my desk chair, thinking about it, talking to myself about what I need to buy, imaging the route to the store, walking inside, and checking on each aisle the stuff I might need or not. It goes on for some time, then I stop and start watching a movie and decide to order the groceries online bcos I remembered I have extreme social anxiety and the idea of just going out and stumbling with someone terrorizes me LOL

[@DawnFury5076]

Inner monolog, Inner seeing, sensing, and inner feeling. I was super shocked that other people don't think the same way.

[@jungsa4691]

I think it's a matter of development. You most likely have inner monologues if you happen to train it by thinking through things as often as possible, as if you were having a conversation with someone smarter than you in your head

[@dnellbuck1896]

I wonder if the inner monologue percentage correlates to the percentage of people who read a lot.

[@wirthsanderson9415]

I feel my thoughts because I make up arguments in my head just to win them and feel justified😂

[@ThatUnknownDude_]

My inner monologue is accompanied by an Image generator that generates the image/view of whatever i want, alongside my inner self listening to my Spotify playlist 24/7

[@spartanjr711]

I'm definitely 50/50 with inner speaking and Sensory Awareness

[@arabelleq7381]

I talk to myself with thoughts but can see and make up images in my head and see things while also thinking verbally about them.

[@Cherno35]

I don’t talk in my head, it’s more pure unfiltered thought.

[@puppynuppy2figure]

I just always process everything at all times and keep tabs on everything sometimes i think a phrase or a sentence, and sometimes i dont

[@Adamizer-2000]

Inner monologue and sight for me.

[@wednesday55]

To make a decision, I see and feel what that experience would be like, decide if I enjoy that feeling, then gather up the motivation to follow through with it. Sometimes I get caught in a loop of seeing and feeling the experience, but can't pull up the motivation to initiate the sequence that would make it a reality. So sometimes I have inner dialogue pep-talks with myself to help gather up the motivation.

[@SpinoStorm]

I feel that my thoughts are a mix of 1, 2, and 3 with the inner monologue taking most of the space, about 90% while the imaging pf different object take up about 7% and the emotions taking up about 3%. I also feel that my inner monologue can be a mixture of me talking in first person and in third person when thinking about groups or situation. I love thinking about this because it's so unique and everybody has a different experience!

[@downwithtrudeau]

All of the above. I use to be more of an inner dialog kind of person but after a TBI im more of a inner seeing/ inner feeling person

[@MrLump]

I have all of these, really depends on the scenario. Like I’m not having an inner monologue while driving as I’m focused on the road, but super alert to sensory stimulation and feelings of emotions.

[@spfadden082711]

Im 100% inner monologue with talking in my head. Like everything is planned out in my head with words.

[@PurpledzIsPurple]

I always have an inner visual representation of something with things like, e.g pathways, layouts etc. Especially when needed to invision something in a different location or spot than it already is.

[@aintapuppy]

Definitely a mix of internal monologue and emotive feeling for me

[@MelonSiggi]

I tend to (probably at an unhealthy amount) hear, see and feel (emotionally) my internal monologue to the point where i've kind of made a whole new world with it's own scenarios purely out of boredom. Glad to know that i'm not alone in this haha

[@我让它发生]

I feel like if I am thinking of the future I'm imagining it like a movie , with dialog and everything , and sometimes even music . But when it comes to what I'm feeling right now it's just speaking , but often if I'm alone I just speak out loud , it helps form more cohesive thoughts .

[@jinijinxer97]

So according to this video, I have these inner experiences : 1. Inner speaking 2. Inner Seeing 3. Sensory Awareness. Its so cool to see there are other types,

[@William_Niceton]

i have all of them, some times its scary 😨 sometimes i can't control what im thinking

[@cocoguardian6679]

I read my thoughts silently. Sometimes i read them with my real voice in my head

[@trentorn1217]

I have a mix of speech, picturing words, and sometimes images. It's like a narrated book with pictures.

[@sparejunkaccountbecauseiam1308]

I inner monologue a lot, but not constantly. But something I did notice from this is I do FEEL my thoughts a lot. Like I'm making a book and when I'm writing out a characters emotions and expressions I recreate it through myself kinda on impulse to get a feel for it.

[@Emberz_hollow]

I just speak in my head like I'm talking aloud with seeing "myself" from behind, or at least, my mental interpretation of myself.

[@the_worst_of_friends924]

I always considered inner visualization to be my imagination while the words I’m constantly thinking to just be my thoughts.

[@docfluggy2069]

I only have inner dialogue thinking. Whenever I screw up or say something stupid and there’s a dead silence, I often but not always, think about the person I was talking to thinking about the screw up and then most times I think about them thinking that I’m thinking about them thinking of my screw up. If it doesn’t make sense have the other internet strangers in the comments of this comment explain it to you.

[@MusicToMyEyes7]

sometimes i have random conversations with myself in my head. I’m seeing some people who say their inner monologue is a random person but mines just myself ig

[@OrbitTK]

My inner monologue is ME, but somehow we react or think differently? 😅

[@josep8437]

I personally do inner speaking and seeing, a whole sequence of detailed thoughts appears in my mind like a PowerPoint presentation.

[@amberbrar6055]

I get mostly the images in my head accompanied by dialogue and also mixed with feelings (mainly if I wanna think about it or not)

[@Dyzinel]

I have a mix of the first two. Every word on this message was first said in my mind, whilst I pondered as to send'em or not. Additionally, I also envisioned other people reading it on their mobile as they furrow their brows.

[@ITSJUSTRUNO]

I've noticed that inner monologue can get me some useful stuff like straight up blocking migranes by saying to myself "you don't feel that"

[@rhiannonhannan76]

I’m everything except for the ‘unthinking’. My shrink asked me about my inner dialogue so I’ve discovered that my mind is always talking & visualising & sensing & expressing physically. I am BPD with intermittent Type 2 Psychopathy so extremely affected by external factors this my mind never switches off and I now just try to isolate from society as much as possible to minimise the ‘noise’.

[@takeru1686]

Inner feeling and visual, I don’t usually hear a voice in my head but I can if I want to

[@castingspells_cz]

Mostly inner monologue, but sometimes a mix of visual and monologue too. I can even makes scenarios in my head with more than one character. But when I visualize something I can feel it and see it but cant really focus on individual objects.
