  What the fuck do you mean some people don’t have an inner monologue. How do they… Think thoughts? I literally cannot comprehend how they work through thoughts.

    I’m convinced lots of people actually don’t think

      Literally everyone does this tho. It only feels like everyone else because you can’t be aware of when you’re not thinking.

        No, having kids now I am sometimes super tired only being able to function for the daily activities without much planning and thinking about others. This made me realize this state (or even worse) is probably normal for a lot of people.

  This one I find difficult to comprehend.

  My inner monologue is petty much my entire thought process. How does one think and rationalise without one?

  That should be my next post! 😂 My inner monologue is like words on a page. And again, I can’t see how one could enjoy a novel with the monologue and mind’s eye.

  My inner monologue even reacted to your comment when I read it 😅
