I found the revelation that people don't do this fascinating. I guess I assumed it was part of the human experience.
I had a conversation with a buddy of mine about what language he thinks in one time, due to English being a seconds language for him and it is funny because looking back on that conversation we both assumed that internal monologue was just a default.
I did notice a pattern in the minority of people that do not internal monologue, where overwhelmingly populated by females.
- baroomba 7y agoI didn't until some time in my childhood when one suddenly developed (I remember feeling puzzled when it happened, though I don't remember exactly when it happened). I still don't know if mine's "normal" or even how to find that out. I wouldn't say it's constantly active, exactly, if that's what normal is.
- LordFast 7y agoSame here, I first read about this I think a few months ago back here on HN. Prior to this I had made the assumption that everyone has an internal dialogue. I'm 36.
