It took me until my mid-20s before I realized that not everyone thought this way.
- findthewords 7y agoI have this "condition". I didn't know it was unusual. I was on propecia (hairloss) medication for awhile, and it took the internal monologue away. I'm now off of it because life was dull and lonely without an active imagination. How curious that testosterone derivative hormones could alter brain activity.
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoI don't talk to myself in my head, except rarely (usually if I'm scolding myself, or trying to do an accent), but I think you'd be entirely wrong to describe me as not having an active imagination.
- psalminen 7y agoIt took me until my mid-20s to be able to drink enough to make this go away (at least for a short time).
- natechols 7y agoThis is among the many reasons why I almost never drink alcohol any more - easier to learn to manage the problem than to wake up hungover every morning.
