currently convinced that ~every thought I hear spontaneously in my head with *words* is a “social” thought/belief
Conversation
words thoughts *can* be more about “real beliefs” or “object level reality”, like if I’m using mental words on purpose to solve a problem or do IFS
but I don’t think that’s true of spontaneous words arisings generally
curious if others disagree

i spent a lot of time talking to myself as a kid so i think it's less like this for me. i could imagine it being more like this for someone who didn't

also a ton of how i learned english was by watching gigantic amounts of TV as opposed to talking to other people. that probably had some kind of effect. maybe closer to TLP's thing about personal narrative
