Thinking: try to see what happens when you turn it off.

I have a (completely unproven) hypothesis that a lot of the self-talk we experience is a direct reaction to the fuckcluster of sensory overload you get from living in cities.

this supports my anecdotal experiences. the volume of internal self-chatter is cranked up way higher in both amplitude and neuroticism when in a noisy urban setting. chatter doesn't cease in more serene settings but it's quieter and less neurotic.

My internal chatter stops nearly 100% if I'm away from people. Literally 100% if I have no impending tasks. Around people/at work, it's constant.

I need more training. Getting it to turn off around people is possible, but extremely hard to maintain. It's a massive behavioural improvement when you do.

(Mind you, this might be reversing the arrow of causality - it's possible it's what it takes to turn off the internal chatter that also improves well-being and action.)
