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.

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?

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!

Well, I can occasionally get caught up in thoughts and not stop too, but that’s specific thoughts I might be either excited or anxious about. It’s not a permanent thing.
