Do you have an inner monologue?

Mine fucking loves to talk and show me things and I can never shut her up

But apparently some people don't hear - or even visualise - their thoughts. This is called aphantasia and I'm not gonna lie that sounds fucking wild to me. Imagine having a quiet mind.

If you are one of these people who doesn't hear or see their thoughts, what medium(s) do you think in?

Inner monologue? All the time and it can be tiring.

A friends daughter was recently discovered to be dyslexic and one of the pointers was that when she reads a novel, she has no pictures in her head in relation to the story. Pictures with the story help but ordinarily it's just words

I'm so sorry. Did I say that out loud?

My understanding of Aphantasia is that it refers to not seeing mental images (which I pretty much don’t have), and doesn’t suggest the lack of a inner monologue, (which I have constantly).

I say 4 words out loud daily if that counts its kind of a mantra now to ground me but often can be seen mumbling or having full convos with myself

From what I read, the lack of visualisation goes hand in hand with lack of audio. Ie "lack of fantasy"
