It was recently brought to my attention that most people don’t. I find that…literally impossible to believe.

So, do you have an inner monologue? Do you talk to yourself? Do you get lost for hours in your imagination? Just spend time thinking? When you read, is there a voice that reads the things or do you just…see the words or something.

    I have a really strong inner monologue, it's like having someone else read every thought I have through a set of bone induction headphones. It sounds different than my actual voice too, more of a GAE or Great Lakes accent and it takes on a very similar cadence to NileRed or Chinese Cooking Demystified on YT whenever I'm reading instructions/following a process. No clue where it got those traits from, seeing as I've never lived near that the great lakes and the only other accent I picked up as a kid was a strong Canadian one.

      My inner voice is how I think I sound like. It’s so what I’m used to that when I record myself or hear myself in a recording I have to mentally prepare myself. I hate my actual voice and wish my inner voice was the real one.
