Do you always have an inner monologue? Can you imagine not having one? Or maybe you've never had an inner monologue and wondered what it would be like? Psych...
If i can imagine a sentence in my head - is that inner voice?
I think that’s the basic idea of an inner voice.
For me it just doesn’t stop, like it’s just a constant flow of thoughts and sentences, sometimes for no reason at all it’ll rehash a conversation from a year or so ago and just get stuck on a loop until I can distract it.
It’s not always negative tho, sometimes it will stay good things, but it’s just frustrating because I have a really hard time concentrating on conversations because one random word will trigger it to go on a tangent.
I kinda think it’s the subconscious leaking into the conscious.
this is where i get stuck trying to define/decide what exactly we’re talking about here.
when I “read”, I can imagine the way the words sound, but i’m just reading, its not a conversation some person in my head is having.

if i can pretend to argue with myself, is that it? or does it have to be like someone stuck in there?
