Well then how is inner voice different from silent reading. Someone is narrating it in the head right. Even the tiktoker who is shown is silent and letting a simulation of inner voice speak in the video right?
Well Doc - I have DID - Dissociative Identity Disorder (would love your thoughts on that) and while I will let the audience google that and what it means, anytime I think of the “inner monologue” that I have, I just have to laugh at it because it could be me, could be an alter or maybe even an alien at this point 🤣. My inner monologue is more like a board of directors 🤣 🤣 🤣. I am in treatment and on the “organizing” end of this disorder so I just laugh at it now & make silly jokes. The benefit of having DID? I can throw myself a surprise party and be genuinely surprised 🤣!
@@beastshawnee I think it depends on injury I get massive migraines. Does my inner monologs go rogue sometimes? Yes those are called 💫intrusive thoughts💫 I got my TBI 5 or 6 years ago, but generally thoughts remain the same sometimes they are nice sometimes they aren't that's normal though...at least for me ^^
I actually have whole conversations with myself in my own head as if I’m on some kind of podcast 💀 it’s kinda like therapy. Helps me sort my thoughts and emotions
I have a lot of conversations, but I also find my inner voice legit lecturing me and yelling at me sometimes. Who here has heard their inner voice sigh in absolute frustration at whatever you're doing/saying? 😂
@exoticmonkeymanneNot really, its still you, its just kind of like youre discussing things or narrating things to yourself. Maybe other people do feel like their inner monologue is a companion, but for me personally, it just feels like I'm listening to myself speak
@exoticmonkeymanneinner monologues are really nice, and yes it can be your companion depending on how it is. My inner monolgue at the moment is my friend that will help me in life no MATTER WHAT.
@@dnellbuck1896I think that everyone's inner voice, (if they have one, seeing as some people don't) is the real them and what they are actually thinking and want to say. We of course can't always say what immediately comes to our heads since that would get us into trouble a lot of the times and hurt other's feelings. My inner voice also uses some colorful language, and I think things that I can't say out loud.
What I found works quite often is focusing on some real life object, like the pillow you're sleeping on and on just that. You can also try shushing your inner voice through.. another inner voice?
@@yxumei literally have to quiet it like a toddler like i literally just think “shut up no thinking!” to fall asleep. or just repeat to myself sleep sleep sleep
I always assumed most people experienced an inner voice, but it seems only some do. For me, this internal dialogue is incredibly valuable. It allows me to vividly imagine scenes from novels, complete with unique voices and appearances for each character. I can even "sing" along mentally, hitting notes I couldn't physically reach, pushing the boundaries of my vocal abilities. This inner voice is invaluable for rehearsing speeches or recalling information. Solitude never feels lonely because I can engage in internal conversations, creating a sense of companionship within my own mind. I struggle to comprehend life without this internal voice and can't imagine what it's like for those who don't possess it
Totally understandable! It feels like without the inner voice there, you might not be able to connect with yourself on a deep level or find companionship with yourself. Sometimes going though voice switching makes it feel too noisy inside though and there's this urge to voice aloud or even mouthing. It's utterly incredible how we can seem to think and interact in different ways after all! 😆
For me my inner voice changes. If I am listening to someones video with captions and then mute the video, the inner voice has the voice of the person who was originally reading out the video. But it sounds like me when im reading something I wrote myself, like I am right now.
@@PleaseLookAtMeICraveAttentionExactly! I am currently reading my comment with my own inner voice but if I'm already listening to someone talk their voice is what I hear reading.
Thats how internal monologue works. If you feel like its someone else's you might need help. I say might because some people have internal monologue with another voice its pretty crazy
@@bugra-yildirim Yeah I am like that, I can change the voice to who ever I want but it is still me. It also doesn't need to be voices it can be sounds and music. Honestly being able to change my voice in my head might make me bad at impressions because I sound 1 to 1 in my head but when I try to speak that way there is a massive disconnect.
I'm very confused I thought everyone has that inner voice... in my case my inner voice can change the accent/ language and voice according to my convenience for example if my dad sends me text my I hear that text in my head in his voice and I can also make up scenarios and images of whatever i listen to and then answer accordingly for example I'm multilingual so if someone is talking to me in English then I make up images of it then translate it to other languages... idk if you understand me or not ...is it only me??
@@joltingonwards2017this is possibly the most terrifying thing I've ever heard. That sounds like being trapped in a prison, no voice and no visualization. I can't even begin to think about how I'd process even rudimentary ideas without the ability to visualize and walk through the process visually in my mind, nor how terrifyingly empty that sounds.
There are meditation techniques that aim at that. What it comes down to is: Do something that makes you focus on one thing and you won´t think about other stuff. Basically meditation makes you practice being in the moment, being absorbed and immersed in an activity. Maybe try this for a couple of days. Important: If you get distracted (and with most meditation techniques you will), guide your thoughts gently and with kindness back to your focus. Don´t judge, just observe.
Sometimes I think of something funny I did with my friends, and I recall it so well that I actually laugh, just imagine how funny the original moment was
I have both. I think with both an internal monologue and with pictures. More abstract thoughts and newly created ideas seem to form with pictures first, then later get tuned into words.
@@whilliambergenwall8137 actually no, it doesn't, I just space out and stare at one thing and eventually I stop thinking, my eyesight will go a bit blurry and sound becomes quiter, and then I can't hear a thought in my head, sometimes, it's honestly rlly nice lol It helps me reset my thoughts if I ever get to overwhelmed!
My inner monologue is always running a powerpoint presentation with slide transitions describing why its always my fault and therefore am not allowed to be happy
@@A_Pink_Fish I can imitate sound and voices, but I don't hear other voices as if one is talking to me. All my inner monologue is done manually. I hear that some have their inner monologue be like a version of themselves talking to them, but mine doesn't work like that.
@@roxywyndhamyes exactly, it's like reading out loud not someone reading to me, but if I wanted, I could imagine various voices I'm familiar with reading it to me or just me reading it to myself in said voices
I have an internal monologue and visualize everything very clearly when it is read or described. I loved reading as a kid even though it took me way longer than a lot of people, because it was like watching a movie in my head. It made miscasting in adaptations more jarring well into my early adulthood.
My inner voice be saying the most horrible sentences known to man that would make hitler and Putin disgusted,so of course the outer voice is the real me
@@adamnave1078i believe I had a dream like that too but it was so long ago the feeling is sort of dull but to me it feels like a dark pit of nothing with a little bit of depression that you don't really feel but you know is there
It's odd to think people can't hear themselves in their heads. I talk to myself literally all the time in my head. Helps me think stuff through Jesus, glad to see other kindred spirits 😅❤️
Because of my anxiety I’m constantly having to talk through situations and conversations that I anticipate happening. Helps me feel prepared to deal with them.
EXACTLY. It's still so weird to think how some people can't hear music in their head. I CONSTANTLY have a song (or multiple) in my head but I couldn't imagine living without it. I love my music!
@@Hopehollenbeak6790same 😂 sometimes I’ll be grooving or head-bopping to a song playing in my head without realising it. It’s wild that so many people don’t experience that haha
It still baffles me everytime I'm reminded that there's people out there who don't have an inner monologue. Im an avid daydreamer, that voice is my narrator, dawg. I can't imagine not having it. 😵💫
I never realized that someone might not have the inner voice. To me it's just "thinking". Like when you prepare your speech or you are planning what you are gonna say when you're late or forgot homework. You know - any random basic thing. It's not like we need to create those thoughts for everything we do (i e. eating) but creating possible scenarios in your head, for example, of what may people say and how you would reply... and even when writing down this comment here i am using this "inner voice" you could say. These are just thoughts. Reading this comment without saying words out loud is the same. If you are reading this - you are using your inner voice. If you are writing something - you are using inner voice while writing, to form a sentence that will appear once you write or type it. It is therefore hard to belive that some people don't have this. And interestingly enough english is not my native language but when i spend a lot of time in social media that are in english, my inner voice tend to stay english (my thoughts are in english). Sometimes i notice it, sometimes i don't. Sometimes i swap between the two languages in my head. Propably because i feel fluent enough in english that i can replace my native language in head. However it is worth mentioning that babies don't have the inner voice - since they don't know any languages to begin with. And that is to say i don't know when i started having this inner voice but propably it was once i was fluent in basic polish (my native language) and i was able to speak normally and express my needs and emotions. That is to say i belive once you start thinking on your own (as you grow and mature) you start having thoughts - the inner monologues. This is why i was surprised to hear some people don't have it. It is as if they stayed babies in their heads. Either people don't realize they have inner voice or they troll us or... well they are the babies.
@@biology9810 I'm talking about the conscious feeling of emotions and thinking without words. For example, when you are hungry, do you think with words, "I need to go to the refrigerator," or do you just go to the refrigerator? It's such a trivial thing to do that you don't need to speak in your mind to do it.
Even funnier, after many years of this thing i think there's another one i "simulate", and its not mine but it comes from that girl i wasted (kinda) my whole childhood on, experiencing the strongest feelings in my whole life, living that through, just for her to be married on my former best friend :) I can hear her voice loud and clear, i know it better than anyone's, i know what she likes and does not, and its like a different person thats always with you, watching and living in your head. Damn, if there are people in my dreams, shes always there, and it feels like shes not an "npc" there but an actual living person who most of the time just doing her normal things, experiencing that imaginary world with me, and even talking to me sometimes, asking about how its going etc. Its so strange.. its ten years since I last met her irl, and i don't think of her usually, at all, but she's always in the back of my mind, another voice, lovely, calm and helping me get through any unfortunate situation. And that even now, when I'm living with my wife since 2020. We've never talked about it cause i don't want to upset her, but i think it's just a part of me now. Like my usual good old inner voice.
@@KageToHikari_CG way to one up me, nah but I kinda know how you feel. My brother helped me through a lot of problems in life and now that he's gone, I always here his voice giving me tips and guiding me through life.
@@Floppy_Fish33 the most bizarre thing about it she kinda reminds me shes there, when i forget. Like, i read or see NOTHING about her in months, and SUDDENLY, in the middle of the night i see her again in those mental locations i build in my dreams (intelligible dreams are super rare for me, i don't remember anything but darkness in the morning, but when i get dreams, its vivid dreams often, actually, with big and well-structured locations and whatever), and she's always the only one "clear" there, with face not blurred out and voice not being like a general "humanlike" buzzing which i get often when i really know I'm dreaming (and i usually know) and analyze what i see or hear. In one of those she literally said to me "this dream is ours, you know? I see it too." right before i wake up shocked about what happened because that was really SUDDEN and unexpected to hear. I never forget those and remember them in all the tiny details, even after 8-9 years. But yeah, that was the first time, now it doesn't make me throw back to reality, maybe because I'm just used to that. I mean, knowing your dream is just a dream and you can shape it like you want, an infinite sandbox, in which you still need to be careful not to destabilise and ruin it too early. The only thing i can't control in those at all is her.
I use to read the "how to train your dragon," books to my son, about a few minutes into it the Irish/viking accent would pop up out of the blue. Explain that one, we do have Irish in us but how do we know what it's supposed to sound like.
You know, that's why most of the time I read manga and comics. The voices and action that I imagine is usually better that what I watch in anime and cartoons
THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll play a whole damn movie in my head while reading. I'll read 50 pages without realizing, the whole time reading unconsciously, while playing what I'm reading as a movie in my head. Most of the time, reading is better than movies. Swan Song by Robert McCammon is phenomenal. Also, The Dark Tower series by Stephen King is amazing.
If you think in pictures you see a whole object as one. If you can't think in pictures you instead think of the object by analyzing how each part works or connects to another thing in the world. So when you think of something it's more of how it interacts with things in life. So you get a better sense of how things work down to the little details. Not saying people that see in pictures can't do that but it's first nature to someone who cant think in pictures since it's the only way to think of objects.
Outside cuz I can think about doing something all I want, but unless I physically do it, it won't happen and I control the outside voice better than the inside
Bonus question: Can the people that can't hear voices in their head listen to music in their head? I have the voice and often times will have a song playing in my head throughout work
I love that the entire human race can be separated into 2 categories flawlessly. The first one is "What do you mean some people process their thoughts as sentences?" The second is "What do you mean some people don't process their thoughts as sentences?"
I sometimes do and sometimes don't. I guess a good way of looking at it is that I monologue when I'm actively focusing and visualize when I'm more going with the flow
@@denzelherrmannever happened with me, as soon as I see some descriptive words, it instantaneous creates a mental image of it. (Or it got developed automatically) And i developed this process after watched that show called "GENIUS" on netgeo graphic channel when I was young, the specific episode was about *Einstein* the way he can visualise his thought experiments lead me to develop it as well
My inner monologue is just me talking without actually talking. It helps me walk through more complex thoughts and hear what something sounds like before I say it.
I do that a lot in the "background" (I also have an inner voice on top of it) but it's frustrating because I sometimes have trouble forming those thoughts into words so I can actually share them.
I literally have conversations with my internal monologue everyday. We discuss about my goals, my feelings, if I am doing something right or wrong. It's good to have a friend in my head, who is in fact myself 😂
And when I'm too tired sometimes I just straight up talk to myself, cheer myself up and stuffs. Or if I have enough caffeine running in my blood and in best condition, I'll have full on debates with myself
that is not inner voice my man, your inner voice is just you speaking to yourself but without making sound. what you are talking about sounds more like dissociative identity disorder.
@@danilooliveira6580this isn't DID at all, this is a form of auditory hallucinations. DID can show symptoms similar to auditory hallucinations, but it's characterized by literal dissociation between the two (or more) different identities present in the patient. What that means is that the memories of one of the identities would not exactly align with those of another. There's not enough information from just this comment to say that this person has DID. -i study psychology and work in a psych ward
@@HeterosexuaI not all people with DID are the same, sometimes they can share memories at will, and sometimes they can internally talk with each other. -I dated someone with post-traumatic DID and we talked a lot about her condition. but I didn't say they have DID, I said it sounds more like DID than inner monologue because they said the voice has its own personality. but could very well be auditory hallucination as you said or straight up schizophrenia.
same, ill like have an inner monologue and i read everything in my voice. Also yknow how some ppl talk to themselves? I do that, but in my head. Like full blown conversations in my head 😭
My brain functions with my internal and external monologues separately as if they're two different people, this allows me to have physical self conversations, wich just sounds like I'm talking to myself when I'm actually engaging in a very entertaining activity
I only recently found out that not everyone has an internal monologue and it blew my mind. I've had it for as long as I can remember and I literally cannot imagine living without it.
It’s not as uncommon as you think, basically 0 animals have an internal monologue but you can tell they are thinking. But agreed I can’t relate to that either.
It is a bit weird. Because what if you have a eureka moment and you’re not quite sure how you got to the answer. Wouldn’t it feel like some unknown outside being just gave you the info? Or at least be concerned if this is a original thing you just know now?
I have a very VERY active internal monologue. Literally every thought is a clear sentence or weird in my head in my own voice. Somehow I can even recall music perfectly too and I don't know how that one works
@@JavaJackBdo you lack what others list as “intrusive thoughts” cause I fs do. My guys always goin nuts up there but majority of the time these “intrusive thoughts” are just me doing me if that makes sense? Idk I just found out not everyone has the little voice in their head as thoughts so I’m confused
Saying there is 'the real' personality doesnt sit well with me. Labeling your personas as real and fake always meant rejecting some part of you. Everything about me is the real me. My persona as childern of my parents, employee of my company, or even just some stranger walking down the road is all part of me and i dont want to reject any part of it
30 years ago it was called 'self talk' - because it was how you spoke to yourself in your head... Our inner thoughts set the tone for the activity or days tasks... When we hate our job we have a tendency to repeat 'i hate my job, i hate my job' over snd over again in our head while we get ready for work and on the way, setting ourselves up for failure. Heres an experiment - every morning tell yourself "I LIKE MY JOB" over and over again for a week...And see if you do not start getting up easier, getting off to work on time and actually enjoying whatever it is you do. Chances are the job wasnt that bad, but the same way we can convince ourselves we love our job we can also do the opposite. ❤
Uuuuuu thats sad… because you know thats schizophrenia. Unless you think with that voice in your mind of course, but if you don't do it on purpose, that's not good.
@@aidenlakata7662 he wrote that the voice does not shut up. In the video he said that you can do it at will, not that can torment yourself day and night with that.🤷♀️
@@uxhebxjebrkzfbe5900 Nah schizophrenia is when you hallucinate hearing and seeing things and genuinely believe they're real. Getting into debates with yourself is totally normal. It's like how cartoon characters have the little angel and devil on their shoulder whenever they consider doing something.
Yeah I know what u mean it’s not much of 2 different voices but it’s the same voice being like is this a good idea? Yeah it is why not,- but like is it I could do something rllyyy stupidddd idk if that’s what u mean but I kinda get it
I never even considered that some people might NOT have an inner voice. It just seems natural to me to read things in my head or construct my thoughts as sentences. My inner voice is even speaking these words as I type.
I didn’t realize that some people didn’t have an internal monologue until I realized that my kid has aphantasia about the time he was 8. When I realized that he can’t visualize things in his head (which is a big part of my thinking process) I started reading about the different ways people think and found out that some people don’t have an internal monologue. It makes sense, though, that as different as we all are that we would think differently too.
Dude when I internal monologue I constantly refer to myself as “we” and Ive just noticed I’ve subconsciously considered myself a dual consciousness for years 😭
@@dave7922im pretty sure thats normal and just how it is. I think “we” not for any other particular reason other than it is me, and I am me, we are both me, just imagination
@snowpools8498 It's like music. I can hear certain songs perfectly in my mind - the vocals and each instrument - but of course, I cannot recreate those sounds myself 🤣
Sounds like you have a lot of intrusive thoughts then. They are usually a result of accumulated overwhelming resentment that comes with a sense of lacking control or even helplessness in life. There might be a lot of unprocessed (unfelt and unexpressed) anger toward other people (hurt, sense of betrayal, dissapointment, loneliness) or yourself (shame, guit, hopelessness, powerlessness, self-hate). If you are currently in an abusive environment, maybe you can look for ways to change your environment and temporary cut off contact to people who are harmful to you, to get a new perspective and rest your overactive nervous system. (This is step 1) If you are currently in a safe environment with supportive trustworthy people around you, then your intrrusive thoughts are probably a result of some past trauma and emotional wounds that linger and come up from time to time to remind you that it's time for some internal healing work. (this is step 2) There are many ways for inner healing, depending on your circumstances, there is no one right way, even though some people seem to be very adamant about certain procedures. If you have the resources, you could try psycological therapy (and there are various modalities of that), there are also sensory therapies like EMDR or biofeedback for psychosomatic issues, there's many kinds of meditation (Dr. K from HealthyGamerGG talks to people online and always recommends to them a personalised meditation at the end of a talk), many people go to church to self-reflect or for communal support, for others going on hikes in nature is very healing, some people love gardening and walk barefoot to find peace, some people find healing in art and music, some talk to friends and comiserate over issues and brainstorm ideas to solve them, for some people physical activity is the key to more peace and happiness (intensity of activity has to be adjusted to certain health needs and fitness level, from gentle yoga, tai-chi and stretching to intense weight lifting and martial arts, with everything in between like running, dancing, swimming, biking, skating, parkour, gymnastics), some people find healing and companionship by adopting a pet (nurturing animals with issues can be especially rewarding, because you have the opportunity to take in a creature in need and see it heal in real time, so then you can allow yourself the space for healing) and finally some are healing by being active in online communities or support random people by offering kind words and ideas to address someone's suffering ;) Negative and violent intrusive thoughts are totally something you can heal, I'm certain of it, because I've experienced them and noticed that they are only active when I'm in danegerous situations and at risk of assault and abuse, around people who are toxic to me, in unhealthy and exploitative work-environments or when I neglect my own needs to the point of utter depletion and serious health issues. Btw - learning about healthy communication and boundaries also helps to improve interactions with people and knowing who can be trusted and who shouldn't be trusted. Good Luck! :)
My internal monologue is literally just like I'm reading aloud or speaking. I can even feel small movements in my neck, jaw, and so on as though my body is miming speaking while i think.
@@Cain1500 as in match tone? like youll match talking softer or maybe deeper to other people? (i do this, it feels weird to use my deeper voice to talk to a quiet girl especially if the rooms quiet)
I honestly thought everyone had an inner voice that speaks to them! I can’t even rationally accept people don’t have one. How do they think without one? 😳
People keep saying like “this explains so much about our world because they probably don’t think” like come on all humans think… I don’t have an internal dialogue, I think things without hearing anything in my head, I ask questions to myself by thinking, not an inner voice, thinking doesn’t require speech, but I guess it’s easier for some people. Also internal dialogue has nothing to do with intelligence, as I am a very smart student and counsellor to my friends, and my best friend is too but she has an internal voice
Seems that way for me too. I think of it as my “central self” and if I’m drinking and feel an impulsive thought it usually says “I know you might want to say or do that, but that doesn’t align with your real values”
Same for me, that's why I can't get dead drunk. Everytime I get drunk my inner voice takes over and controls my body as well, which is why I can sleep with half-conscious (including standing asleep) as well
The best version of this I heard was a description on Torah discussion by Rabbis. It was a little anecdote in a book. The sentence was "Two Jews, Three Opinions." I laughed out loud, because that is EXACTLY what my mind is like. I can see both sides, and also have my own opinion, and I can argue all the points against each other, all in my own head!
I can even have a multitude of voices all ring out. I had pictographic memory when I was younger...but now... it's just like an extremely faded picture.
Or I create dialogues in my head between an imaginary me and an imaginary friend that I'd like to share these thoughts with but am too afraid to do so in real life
@@lynb87the words are like super fast. At least for me. If I were to say out loud "I need to get groceries" while thinking the same thing, the internal sentence would always finish first.
@@lynb87How do you think the concept of "I need to get groceries" without having the words "oh crap, no food for lunch. Ugh, gotta go out and get groceries again. Ugh, that's so much effort. Do I have time after work today? Wait no, D&D is tonight. Can I hold out until tomorrow? Hmm, let me see if there's anything in the fridge I can eat." go through your head?
I'm one of the weird ones with aphantasia. I also don't have an inner dialogue. I think thoughts, but there is no voice speaking them. They're just thoughts. I would describe them as intuitive, if anything. If I am struggling with too many thoughts, I just say them aloud, and I can organize my thoughts that way. As for aphantasia, I can't see or imagine mental images. An analogy I was given is: it's like a computer with a broken screen. All of the information is there, but I just can't see it. I can still imagine sounds, smells, touch, and taste if I've experienced it before. Everything is dark when I close my eyes or red-orange if I'm facing a light source.
I feel like people without internal monologue might think we are crazy hearing that we talk to ourselves. Its just extremely useful for working out problems or sorting out our thoughts. I also talk out loud too when the internal voice isn't enough.
@@MyemnhkI don’t hear a voice but I talk to my self you can think about it as if you know ASL so you don’t hear a voice but the information still is transferred best way I can describe it and I can’t tell if he’s joking but I can’t give a good description about anything including family members faces
Not only do I have an internal monologue, I hear music too. Sometimes a song will start playing just by hearing or reading a word that reminds me of that song.
My inner voices and my outer voices doesnt know whose the real one so i decided wait who IS REALLY DECIDING AHHHHHH AHHHHHH I have calm down a bit but I will have a rap battle and whoever wins is the real one
@@praya88Well.. I can change my voice in the head and do all sorts of voices. If I want a pleasant one, could easily shift to any pleasant voice I've heard in the past.
Hold on, I've always thought I have an inner voice, but these comments make me feel that you guys ACTUALLY *HEAR* a voice in your heads. I can imagine voices and images and whatever but if I stop actively imagining a voice, there's nothing really. I do monologue with myself but it's quiet
I can remember episodes of tv of play them like little re runs in my head. I have an inner monologue and decent imagery as well. It makes me day dream alot because i can imagine conversations from the past and see all kinds of potential outcomes aswell as imagining future conversations and wonder how they might play out as well with out comes for realistic do ridiculous depending my mood.
@openotsorryu can treat the monologue voice as a quieter normal. Cause That's how it works and btw that's why u can't use your inner in the same time as normal
I've heard some people have their inner voice as someone else's voice and I don't know how that would work because mine is just kinda my voice but quieter and such.
Yeah. And honestly I wish I could have a better ship, not one that falls apart at 28 despite the effort I put into it (although now most effort goes into piloting it)
To me, I always considered my inner voice to be my conscience. When I’m considering options or about to do something spontaneous a strong voice pops in my head making me reconsider, or stick with, choices I’ve made. A close example would be pictures we see of a devil on one shoulder, and an angel on the other, having a conversation together. If I was asked to describe the voice (male/female, low/high tone, etc) I wouldn’t be able to do it though. It’s just there, saving me from situations on multiple occasions. Like car accidents and falling objects, things I’m too poor to buy atm but I really want it, bad people, etc. I can’t picture myself still being alive today without having “the voice”.
I hear my thoughts with my own voice inside my head. I also have incredibly strong visualization. I assumed this is how we all are. I learned differently a few years ago. Our minds are amazing.✨️
Yeah, I'm the same way and I thought so too for a while. I remember hearing about folks who can't see pictures in their head. Sometimes I get visuals of shit I never thought were possible and mainly now, it's just full on fighting game images. I've been obsessing over making this game, I can't do it myself so I take notes and use AI to help flesh out shit. Like idk how to put it, I see full on movement systems, magic systems, camera movement, detailed fight scenes all as if I'm watching a real game but it's not real..yet..lol and it all happens so fast, I have to focus a bit to purposefully bring it back up. I feel like Neuralink is gonna answer more questions that we can even think of. We'll figure out how every possible variation of the human brain works. I'm so excited. I go on tangents a lot, sorry.
@RavenMaria-ri5re well it depends, how are you seeing it? Is it a think or person in a dream? Short answer, yes, sometimes. I met an awesome girl in my dreams once, she seemed chill and fun as the same time, big Curly hair, beautiful light brown eyes. She may be a real person in a different universe. May be a person from the past or future. Or even someone I could have met in an alternate time-line.
If I watch something emotional, I can play out an original scene in my head with me implanted, playing out the event like a real memory and emotion. If I let myself get into the day dream hard enough, I can start shedding tears of emotion as if I really went through it. Then I snap out of it KNOWING it’s not real. I can play whole songs in my head if I memorized the lyrics like a radio, especially if I have a song stuck in my head at the moment. I can hear a shadow version of myself in my thoughts that’s watching and giving subtle critiques and review throughout the day but it’s not a separate person. It’s like a mini extension or backdrop version of myself.

Well Doc - I have DID - Dissociative Identity Disorder (would love your thoughts on that) and while I will let the audience google that and what it means, anytime I think of the “inner monologue” that I have, I just have to laugh at it because it could be me, could be an alter or maybe even an alien at this point 🤣.
My inner monologue is more like a board of directors 🤣 🤣 🤣.
I am in treatment and on the “organizing” end of this disorder so I just laugh at it now & make silly jokes.

I always assumed most people experienced an inner voice, but it seems only some do. For me, this internal dialogue is incredibly valuable. It allows me to vividly imagine scenes from novels, complete with unique voices and appearances for each character. I can even "sing" along mentally, hitting notes I couldn't physically reach, pushing the boundaries of my vocal abilities. This inner voice is invaluable for rehearsing speeches or recalling information. Solitude never feels lonely because I can engage in internal conversations, creating a sense of companionship within my own mind. I struggle to comprehend life without this internal voice and can't imagine what it's like for those who don't possess it
Totally understandable! It feels like without the inner voice there, you might not be able to connect with yourself on a deep level or find companionship with yourself. Sometimes going though voice switching makes it feel too noisy inside though and there's this urge to voice aloud or even mouthing. It's utterly incredible how we can seem to think and interact in different ways after all! 😆
Considering 90% of my thoughts are never spoken out loud it’s safe to say the “real me” is my inner monologue.
Lmao same

@@bugra-yildirim Yeah I am like that, I can change the voice to who ever I want but it is still me. It also doesn't need to be voices it can be sounds and music.

Same. My 2nd order thoughts and conscience does present itself sometimes. And there are the rare I trusted thoughts
I'm very confused I thought everyone has that inner voice... in my case my inner voice can change the accent/ language and voice according to my convenience for example if my dad sends me text my I hear that text in my head in his voice and I can also make up scenarios and images of whatever i listen to and then answer accordingly for example I'm multilingual so if someone is talking to me in English then I make up images of it then translate it to other languages... idk if you understand me or not ...is it only me??

There are meditation techniques that aim at that. What it comes down to is: Do something that makes you focus on one thing and you won´t think about other stuff.
Basically meditation makes you practice being in the moment, being absorbed and immersed in an activity. Maybe try this for a couple of days.
Important: If you get distracted (and with most meditation techniques you will), guide your thoughts gently and with kindness back to your focus. Don´t judge, just observe.

I never realized that someone might not have the inner voice. To me it's just "thinking". Like when you prepare your speech or you are planning what you are gonna say when you're late or forgot homework. You know - any random basic thing. It's not like we need to create those thoughts for everything we do (i e. eating) but creating possible scenarios in your head, for example, of what may people say and how you would reply... and even when writing down this comment here i am using this "inner voice" you could say. These are just thoughts. Reading this comment without saying words out loud is the same. If you are reading this - you are using your inner voice. If you are writing something - you are using inner voice while writing, to form a sentence that will appear once you write or type it.
It is therefore hard to belive that some people don't have this.
And interestingly enough english is not my native language but when i spend a lot of time in social media that are in english, my inner voice tend to stay english (my thoughts are in english). Sometimes i notice it, sometimes i don't. Sometimes i swap between the two languages in my head. Propably because i feel fluent enough in english that i can replace my native language in head.
However it is worth mentioning that babies don't have the inner voice - since they don't know any languages to begin with. And that is to say i don't know when i started having this inner voice but propably it was once i was fluent in basic polish (my native language) and i was able to speak normally and express my needs and emotions.
That is to say i belive once you start thinking on your own (as you grow and mature) you start having thoughts - the inner monologues.
This is why i was surprised to hear some people don't have it. It is as if they stayed babies in their heads.
Either people don't realize they have inner voice or they troll us or... well they are the babies.
I even picture my internal voice to have a whole body, she's me but she a lil sassier 🤣🤣

Even funnier, after many years of this thing i think there's another one i "simulate", and its not mine but it comes from that girl i wasted (kinda) my whole childhood on, experiencing the strongest feelings in my whole life, living that through, just for her to be married on my former best friend :)
I can hear her voice loud and clear, i know it better than anyone's, i know what she likes and does not, and its like a different person thats always with you, watching and living in your head. Damn, if there are people in my dreams, shes always there, and it feels like shes not an "npc" there but an actual living person who most of the time just doing her normal things, experiencing that imaginary world with me, and even talking to me sometimes, asking about how its going etc.
Its so strange.. its ten years since I last met her irl, and i don't think of her usually, at all, but she's always in the back of my mind, another voice, lovely, calm and helping me get through any unfortunate situation. And that even now, when I'm living with my wife since 2020. We've never talked about it cause i don't want to upset her, but i think it's just a part of me now.

@@KageToHikari_CG way to one up me, nah but I kinda know how you feel. My brother helped me through a lot of problems in life and now that he's gone, I always here his voice giving me tips and guiding me through life.
@@Floppy_Fish33 the most bizarre thing about it she kinda reminds me shes there, when i forget. Like, i read or see NOTHING about her in months, and SUDDENLY, in the middle of the night i see her again in those mental locations i build in my dreams (intelligible dreams are super rare for me, i don't remember anything but darkness in the morning, but when i get dreams, its vivid dreams often, actually, with big and well-structured locations and whatever), and she's always the only one "clear" there, with face not blurred out and voice not being like a general "humanlike" buzzing which i get often when i really know I'm dreaming (and i usually know) and analyze what i see or hear.
In one of those she literally said to me "this dream is ours, you know? I see it too." right before i wake up shocked about what happened because that was really SUDDEN and unexpected to hear.
I never forget those and remember them in all the tiny details, even after 8-9 years.
But yeah, that was the first time, now it doesn't make me throw back to reality, maybe because I'm just used to that. I mean, knowing your dream is just a dream and you can shape it like you want, an infinite sandbox, in which you still need to be careful not to destabilise and ruin it too early.
The only thing i can't control in those at all is her.
Same that's also how I convince myself to do things I don't want to
Reading books with voices you imagined for characters is amazing
Yessssssss!!!!!!
I mean I think this is the way people read books, but If someone reads a book without this it is kinda sad.
I use to read the "how to train your dragon," books to my son, about a few minutes into it the Irish/viking accent would pop up out of the blue. Explain that one, we do have Irish in us but how do we know what it's supposed to sound like.
You know, that's why most of the time I read manga and comics. The voices and action that I imagine is usually better that what I watch in anime and cartoons
THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll play a whole damn movie in my head while reading. I'll read 50 pages without realizing, the whole time reading unconsciously, while playing what I'm reading as a movie in my head. Most of the time, reading is better than movies.

Bro, thinking in pure visualization is a super power, y'all with this type must be super smart at math and good at games i wish i had that.
If you think in pictures you see a whole object as one. If you can't think in pictures you instead think of the object by analyzing how each part works or connects to another thing in the world. So when you think of something it's more of how it interacts with things in life. So you get a better sense of how things work down to the little details. Not saying people that see in pictures can't do that but it's first nature to someone who cant think in pictures since it's the only way to think of objects.

It is a bit weird. Because what if you have a eureka moment and you’re not quite sure how you got to the answer. Wouldn’t it feel like some unknown outside being just gave you the info? Or at least be concerned if this is a original thing you just know now?
I have a very VERY active internal monologue. Literally every thought is a clear sentence or weird in my head in my own voice. Somehow I can even recall music perfectly too and I don't know how that one works
No way someone doesn’t have an inner voice that’s where my best conversations come from

Is your inner voice like a different person in your head?
@@sweetmissirish Depends from person to person, but for some, yes it is.
The inside voice is the real me, I can’t act like myself outside of my body
Soooo if the voice tells you to do something realy bad is it also real you?
@@sirius1233 well considering that my inner voice is literally just my thoughts, then yes it is

Idk I just found out not everyone has the little voice in their head as thoughts so I’m confused
@@aidenlakata7662 yea my “intrusive thoughts” are kinda like that.
@@JavaJackB good to know
the inner voice is the real me, the outer is just my projection of it covered under whatever mask is needed for my current environment
Saying there is 'the real' personality doesnt sit well with me. Labeling your personas as real and fake always meant rejecting some part of you. Everything about me is the real me. My persona as childern of my parents, employee of my company, or even just some stranger walking down the road is all part of me and i dont want to reject any part of it
Think again
This is my answer ❤
fr? for me they both me, but just because i think something doesnt mean i have to say it... i wouldnt call it a different me tho... its the same me.
you're wrong. there's no real and fake. You merely adapt to your surroundings. All of them are equally real
I actually imagine YOU narrating it your voice has just become that ingrained in my memory at this point
Plot twist, I imagined your voice narrating the sentences
😂😂😂
Same!!!
Same

same 😮
my inner voice is almost 24/7 and with focus can immitatte other people's voices and hold a side in a conversation
same! i can mental-mimic voices of pretty much anyone after a short while. it's good for reassurance when youre feeling down, i find :)
I also mimic all kind of voices with my inner voice 😂
I can replicate any voice in my head instantly
I can literally replay songs
I can play music inside my head, and I do the conversation thing on accident sometimes when I'm practicing debating a topic
My inner voice is the real me. My outer voice is just a sewage overflow
Fuck I feel that one. Explains why I talk to myself.
30 years ago it was called 'self talk' - because it was how you spoke to yourself in your head...
Our inner thoughts set the tone for the activity or days tasks...
When we hate our job we have a tendency to repeat 'i hate my job, i hate my job' over snd over again in our head while we get ready for work and on the way, setting ourselves up for failure.
Heres an experiment - every morning tell yourself "I LIKE MY JOB" over and over again for a week...And see if you do not start getting up easier, getting off to work on time and actually enjoying whatever it is you do.
Chances are the job wasnt that bad, but the same way we can convince ourselves we love our job we can also do the opposite.

"Congratulations" bro I live 24/7 listening to my own dang voice and he won't shut up

Do they ever agree?
i’ve heard that having two voices is a sign of schizophrenia
@@uxhebxjebrkzfbe5900 Nah schizophrenia is when you hallucinate hearing and seeing things and genuinely believe they're real. Getting into debates with yourself is totally normal. It's like how cartoon characters have the little angel and devil on their shoulder whenever they consider doing something.
Yeah I know what u mean it’s not much of 2 different voices but it’s the same voice being like is this a good idea? Yeah it is why not,- but like is it I could do something rllyyy stupidddd idk if that’s what u mean but I kinda get it
I'm the same. Never a day goes by without a few debates between me, myself and I.
I never even considered that some people might NOT have an inner voice. It just seems natural to me to read things in my head or construct my thoughts as sentences. My inner voice is even speaking these words as I type.
Ikr
I didn’t realize that some people didn’t have an internal monologue until I realized that my kid has aphantasia about the time he was 8.
When I realized that he can’t visualize things in his head (which is a big part of my thinking process) I started reading about the different ways people think and found out that some people don’t have an internal monologue.
It makes sense, though, that as different as we all are that we would think differently too.
The outside is nothing but a refined character based of the inner voice
It's a checkpoint the inner you comes back to every morning.

Sounds like you have a lot of intrusive thoughts then. They are usually a result of accumulated overwhelming resentment that comes with a sense of lacking control or even helplessness in life. There might be a lot of unprocessed (unfelt and unexpressed) anger toward other people (hurt, sense of betrayal, dissapointment, loneliness) or yourself (shame, guit, hopelessness, powerlessness, self-hate).
If you are currently in an abusive environment, maybe you can look for ways to change your environment and temporary cut off contact to people who are harmful to you, to get a new perspective and rest your overactive nervous system. (This is step 1)
If you are currently in a safe environment with supportive trustworthy people around you, then your intrrusive thoughts are probably a result of some past trauma and emotional wounds that linger and come up from time to time to remind you that it's time for some internal healing work. (this is step 2)
There are many ways for inner healing, depending on your circumstances, there is no one right way, even though some people seem to be very adamant about certain procedures.
If you have the resources, you could try psycological therapy (and there are various modalities of that),
there are also sensory therapies like EMDR or biofeedback for psychosomatic issues,
there's many kinds of meditation (Dr. K from HealthyGamerGG talks to people online and always recommends to them a personalised meditation at the end of a talk),
many people go to church to self-reflect or for communal support,
for others going on hikes in nature is very healing,
some people love gardening and walk barefoot to find peace,
some people find healing in art and music,
some talk to friends and comiserate over issues and brainstorm ideas to solve them,
for some people physical activity is the key to more peace and happiness (intensity of activity has to be adjusted to certain health needs and fitness level, from gentle yoga, tai-chi and stretching to intense weight lifting and martial arts, with everything in between like running, dancing, swimming, biking, skating, parkour, gymnastics),
some people find healing and companionship by adopting a pet (nurturing animals with issues can be especially rewarding, because you have the opportunity to take in a creature in need and see it heal in real time, so then you can allow yourself the space for healing)
and finally some are healing by being active in online communities or support random people by offering kind words and ideas to address someone's suffering ;)
Negative and violent intrusive thoughts are totally something you can heal, I'm certain of it, because I've experienced them and noticed that they are only active when I'm in danegerous situations and at risk of assault and abuse, around people who are toxic to me, in unhealthy and exploitative work-environments or when I neglect my own needs to the point of utter depletion and serious health issues. Btw - learning about healthy communication and boundaries also helps to improve interactions with people and knowing who can be trusted and who shouldn't be trusted.
Good Luck! :)
@@Seamannonwow. You out here straight giving life advice. Good job.
Yes, well in my case, probably several life sentences.
Only one? Lucky
My internal monologue is literally just like I'm reading aloud or speaking. I can even feel small movements in my neck, jaw, and so on as though my body is miming speaking while i think.
My internal voice can make it so that usually when I hear someone’s speech close by, I can feel how they’re talking and mimic lots of speech that way
@@Cain1500 as in match tone? like youll match talking softer or maybe deeper to other people? (i do this, it feels weird to use my deeper voice to talk to a quiet girl especially if the rooms quiet)
I breathe out the words my inner voice is speaking
You're narrating it in my head with your voice
I honestly thought everyone had an inner voice that speaks to them! I can’t even rationally accept people don’t have one. How do they think without one? 😳
I hate to say this, but accepting that perhaps they DON'T think would explain a lot about the world.
People keep saying like “this explains so much about our world because they probably don’t think” like come on all humans think… I don’t have an internal dialogue, I think things without hearing anything in my head, I ask questions to myself by thinking, not an inner voice, thinking doesn’t require speech, but I guess it’s easier for some people. Also internal dialogue has nothing to do with intelligence, as I am a very smart student and counsellor to my friends, and my best friend is too but she has an internal voice
a better question to ask is how do they read books without talking out loud??

My inner voice stays sober when I'm drunk and makes sure I keep drinking water.
Seems that way for me too. I think of it as my “central self” and if I’m drinking and feel an impulsive thought it usually says “I know you might want to say or do that, but that doesn’t align with your real values”
I wish my inner voice was as sensible as yours. The mfr seems to disappear I am drinking 😂
@@itsabellsss I mean, If I got too deep into it mine would probably vanish too, but I just don’t have any plans to ever go that far.
Mine is like: “bro, that vodka feels so good, lets get more”
Same for me, that's why I can't get dead drunk. Everytime I get drunk my inner voice takes over and controls my body as well, which is why I can sleep with half-conscious (including standing asleep) as well
My inner monologue can actually become inner dialogues and even a full on board meeting...that I can control.
I have held "court" in my head before, weighing pros and cons 😂
@@yoshi6421Kaguya-sama lmao
The best version of this I heard was a description on Torah discussion by Rabbis. It was a little anecdote in a book. The sentence was "Two Jews, Three Opinions."
I laughed out loud, because that is EXACTLY what my mind is like. I can see both sides, and also have my own opinion, and I can argue all the points against each other, all in my own head!
I can even have a multitude of voices all ring out. I had pictographic memory when I was younger...but now... it's just like an extremely faded picture.
that’s how i felt when i learned people saw things in their heads
I constantly talk to myself in my head. I am like my own best friend

Or I create dialogues in my head between an imaginary me and an imaginary friend that I'd like to share these thoughts with but am too afraid to do so in real life
I can't even imagine how someone could not have an inner voice
That's my question. How do you think without words? Do you just have an abstract feeling for "I need to get groceries" instead of the words?
@@00jyjsarangdoes all your thinking require words? Doesn't that slow down thinking?
@@lynb87the words are like super fast. At least for me. If I were to say out loud "I need to get groceries" while thinking the same thing, the internal sentence would always finish first.
@@lynb87How do you think the concept of "I need to get groceries" without having the words "oh crap, no food for lunch. Ugh, gotta go out and get groceries again. Ugh, that's so much effort. Do I have time after work today? Wait no, D&D is tonight. Can I hold out until tomorrow? Hmm, let me see if there's anything in the fridge I can eat." go through your head?
I'm one of the weird ones with aphantasia. I also don't have an inner dialogue. I think thoughts, but there is no voice speaking them. They're just thoughts. I would describe them as intuitive, if anything. If I am struggling with too many thoughts, I just say them aloud, and I can organize my thoughts that way.
As for aphantasia, I can't see or imagine mental images. An analogy I was given is: it's like a computer with a broken screen. All of the information is there, but I just can't see it. I can still imagine sounds, smells, touch, and taste if I've experienced it before. Everything is dark when I close my eyes or red-orange if I'm facing a light source.
Whenever i read someones text i have their voice narrating it for me
i don't do it with texts, but I can sorta mimic other people's voice in my head
I can do it out loud with some peoples voices
I DO THE SAME THING!! I thought I was the only one lol. My other thoughts are in my own voice, but texts are the voices of the people who sent them.
I do that too 😂 it makes it easier to understand tone. I do it when I read as well.
Yes me tooooo but if I want to talk like them I can't.
The ending of this video reminds me of CGP Greys video "You Are Two". Thank you Dr. Karan!
I’m shocked others don’t have an internal monologue. I talk to myself in my head ALL THE TIME
I talk to myself AND carry on virtual conversations with others who aren't there.
Yes, all the profanity and obscene words all goes to the inner monologue and my mouth says nice things.
I feel like people without internal monologue might think we are crazy hearing that we talk to ourselves. Its just extremely useful for working out problems or sorting out our thoughts. I also talk out loud too when the internal voice isn't enough.

To me, I always considered my inner voice to be my conscience. When I’m considering options or about to do something spontaneous a strong voice pops in my head making me reconsider, or stick with, choices I’ve made. A close example would be pictures we see of a devil on one shoulder, and an angel on the other, having a conversation together. If I was asked to describe the voice (male/female, low/high tone, etc) I wouldn’t be able to do it though. It’s just there, saving me from situations on multiple occasions. Like car accidents and falling objects, things I’m too poor to buy atm but I really want it, bad people, etc. I can’t picture myself still being alive today without having “the voice”.

@RavenMaria-ri5re well it depends, how are you seeing it? Is it a think or person in a dream? Short answer, yes, sometimes. I met an awesome girl in my dreams once, she seemed chill and fun as the same time, big Curly hair, beautiful light brown eyes. She may be a real person in a different universe. May be a person from the past or future. Or even someone I could have met in an alternate time-line.
If I watch something emotional, I can play out an original scene in my head with me implanted, playing out the event like a real memory and emotion. If I let myself get into the day dream hard enough, I can start shedding tears of emotion as if I really went through it. Then I snap out of it KNOWING it’s not real. I can play whole songs in my head if I memorized the lyrics like a radio, especially if I have a song stuck in my head at the moment. I can hear a shadow version of myself in my thoughts that’s watching and giving subtle critiques and review throughout the day but it’s not a separate person. It’s like a mini extension or backdrop version of myself. If I sit for a minute and think of where I lost my keys, I can picture or play a small snippet video in my head in reverse to remember where I was and what I was doing. But it’s not like Sherlock Holme extremes where I go into a mind palace and remember every little details.
I do. And it's constant. It's my voice, but it's still there. Everything is narrated all the time by my voice.
