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 streamhttps://ryanandrewlangdon.wordpress.com/2020/01/28/today-i-learned-that-not-everyone-has-an-internal-monologue-and-it-has-ruined-my-day/ …

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 you turn it off, is it replaced by something or just silence? Can you do stuff with it “off,” or do you have to turn it back on to do the dishes, drive a car, etc?

Not for dishes or cat, only verbal tasks

maybe this is why meditation appeals more to some. they can't turn it off (easily) and they are going crazy!

not even kidding. i'm not a meditation expert but whenever I try it it feels relatively easy to turn down the volume of my thoughts. when i read about meditation people make it sound like this crazy hard thing to do. the monkey mind!

I can turn it off with some effort, but I can usually hear my own voice very clearly when thinking
