Huh, unlike aphantasia I don’t actually get what this no-inner-monologue thing is about. I can do inner verbal thought or turn it off like a radio and go verbally silent as needed. And when on, it isn’t a particular voice, just auditory-like stream ryanandrewlangdon.wordpress.com/2020/01/28/tod

I can’t play back full textured voices but I can trace melodies of songs or non-lyrical compositions. While I don’t “hear” it the same way as live, there’s a ghostly trace of the particular voice.
But yeah, I can turn it off. Apparently some experience ceaseless self-talk?

New realization: to the extent I have an inner monologue, it tends to be simulations of things I have to or might say or write in the near future, not “talking to myself” or running commentary on ongoing non-verbal behaviors

when i read your tweets, i do them in your voice. do you think this fits in the “inner monologue”-ing behavior set ?

I wouldn’t be able to that unless it’s someone whose voice has a very exaggerated accent with very different pronunciations from my own

I thought I was the only one: I turn it off for deep work and turn it on when I am bored and need to not sleep

it me. I evidently don't have an "inner voice". It used to bother me, but now I realize that would drive me straight bonkers. I'm happy to have inner mental peace.

Is their friend a robot?
