my inner monologue only ever says "anime is real" and "dios mio la creatura"
Sometimes I refer to myself by my full name. Like
God dammit FBI Special Agent Dick Dribbles, why can’t you stop posting your sack on Twitter???
Yes, all the time. I mostly use we, as if I was my brain talking to the rest of me, I like it.
I'm a "we" user myself. Referring to me and the imaginary person i monologue to constantly.
I generally alternate between "I" and "you".
I also use third person occasionally, idk what's up with that
I'm not a wordy thinker, generally. If I do use words to frame my thoughts, it's usually as a sort of third-person narration, like a novel.
Do you people literally have words running through your heads whenever you think? That's so hard for me to understand.
yeah, I'll use we and refer to myself by name sometimes. but I'm somewhere on the plural spectrum so this is more typical.
Mostly "you" I think, maybe "I" sometimes. Don't think I use "we"
I think like 4000 billion things a minute and like half of that is thinking about finding a shoegaze wife and the other half is a litany of "I should..."
I need a girl that will kick my ass. I'm changing to find a hardcore girl
"We" but I'm hella neurodivergent so I regard my brain as a separate, distinct entity from myself
I don't typically think verbally. I'm much more of a feelings/instinct kind of thinker. But when I do, I guess now that I think about it it's typically "we." Maybe something like 60/40 split we/I. But low sample size, cause like I said, those sorts of thoughts are not typical.
Reading is kinda weird, because I feel like I hear a voice, but if I think about it for five seconds I realize that "voice" has no qualities I could describe and therefore ... probably doesn't exist? Usually, anyway. Dialogue sometimes has clear voices, if I have a good idea of what the character should sound like. I'm extremely good at visualization in pretty much every way, like if I want to imagine something introduced into the real world (like, on top of my desk for example) then the image I create is typically only a little bit less clear than if it were really there. Like maybe a little fuzzy or shimmery in a sense, like it might not stay 100% clear for more than a couple seconds. And that level of detail takes conscious effort / concentration. Strangely enough, despite being very good at that in theory, I don't visualize very much while reading. Things kind of happen in a shadowy ambiguous void that's constantly shifting.

I think that's normal, and I think it's impossible for anybody (even highly visual people) to fully imagine a new world from scratch while reading a book, IMO. I only imagine the parts that are actually detailed in the book, and the rest I kind of just sub in some setting/building that I remember from my own life, or a video game or something.
I also have no internal monologue. Voices while reading depends on how fast I'm reading, and how much I'm visualizing. I can sometimes hear an internal monologue while reading, but only if I'm reading slowly, and even then it comes at the expense of understanding/visualizing the material. Basically I can only do one at a time.
I feel that I'm very good at visualizing images and motion.
i sometimes just debate myself with different languages in my head in order to practice speaking skills lol
so czech voice will be like 'you silly doof mao & stalin > else'
and english (very anglo) voice will be like 'no you see eugene v debs was a world renowned woman, light itself'
Definitely "you" for me a lot of the time. My brain gets to be an "I" every once and a while but mostly it's talking to me, trying to coach the executive dysfunction away.
Of course, this does not work.
