Do you have an inner monologue?

Saw a video that said 50% of people do not have an inner monologue. I honestly thought everybody had one. I have one. It is my voice and I can talk and say things in my head. If I want my voice to have an Arnold Schwarzenegger accent I can do it the same way I can try to talk out loud to try and sound like Arnold. My wife told me she does not have an inner monologue and I had to explain what it was. Basically saying things inside your head that nobody else can hear.

Yep. 50% of the time it's my thoughts, in my own voice. The other 50% it's a song. There's ALWAYS a song on the cranium radio.

My inner monologue loves to fire up at 0300 when I need to be asleep.

I'm convinced anyone who doesn't have one is an NPC.

Yes, I just have to make sure the external PA is muted for 90% of the monologue. I honestly wonder if the majority of the 50% are men?! This seems like something men do more than women. Reminds me of the "I bet he's thinking about other women meme" where the husband is having an internal discussion of some off the wall topic while the wife gives him the stank eye.

I do. It's in a Venom / Batman voice. I tell myself to hold the rage in. Everyday.

Apparently a significant portion of the population actually thinks more in images than in words. Not sure if that’s the 50% without an inner monologue, but my brother is one of those people.
He tried to explain what it’s like, but i literally could not imagine that.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure it's Rodney Dangerfield's ghost trying to take me over.

I have an inner playlist. Around 10-15 songs that are triggered at random times.

Inner, outer, and sometimes third-person. Idgaf. Helps me think.

I am always thinking about something… is that an inner monologue?
My brain never shuts off.

I have friend that is a CPA that does not imagine pictures or scenes when reading books? Just the words on a page. I wonder if it’s a CPA thing.

Always use a soft A, even in your inner monologue.

Both sort of I guess…
I’m vv skeptical by nature and tend to analyze ppl and situations -so I’ll entertain a thought and then expand on the possibilities / meanings.

Been hearing this alot lately and just don't believe it.

People who are not able to have inner dialogue with themselves makes me nuts.
They are just reactionaries who wonder why the can't work out problems or be creative.
Inner dialogue just takes practice.
