  1. I wanna know is. When people say they have an internal monologue. Does that mean actual full sentences non stop? Like I can visualize in my minds eye. I can talk to myself in even didferent voices. Yet at the same time I don't need either to function, remember, or do tasks. When I go do the dishes I might just say "do it lazy." Picture my sink, then go and do it. Then while I'm doing it start thinking in partial words, snap shots, or more likely than not. Flowing songs in my head while thinking in pictures. This is most obvious when in a flow state playing a sport or instrument. I don't need to visualize to catch the ball, or run and juke. Or start flowing notes that come to me in the moment when jamming on an instrument. Hard to explain, but do you guys really need to say everything out loud (in your head) everything you gotta do? And for those who only think visually. Do you constantly always have to visualize everything? My mom has Aphantasia. So she only has an inner monologue. She says she thinks she can visualize when she dreams. I find that interesting as I can have incredible dreams where I have an entire made up life with a stranger. Know their name, our relationship, and even have a job I don't have in real life. I love my mind. I can make entire movies in my head. You'd think that means I could remember stuff better, but it doesn't. My mind is filled with random shyte. Also it is so hard for me to make my mind blank.
