  A monologue is and actual voice talking in your head, I think.

  Never experienced it so 🤷

    That’s correct. If I’m actively thinking about something or especially going over and processing some information, I do it like I’m expleining the thing to someone else in my head, using an actual voice in my mind.

      So that simulated voice of yourself saying something inside your own mind, that’s “inner monologue”?
      @lepinkainen@lemmy.world So you don’t have that? What happens in your mind when you imagine yourself explaining something to someone?

    What is reading like for you? Do you not hear the words you’re reading in your head as you read them?

      Its actually wilder than that, some people have aphantasia where they can’t imagine shapes or forms in their mind. If you describe a dog, they do not have a mental image of the dog.

        I have thoughts that I hear, but I can’t picture images in my mind. Like I know what a dog looks like, but I can’t see it
