Since people can function normally without voices in their head then those voices aren't your logical thoughts, it is that simple. Instead the thoughts are stuff you can't express or picture, its just thoughts, but I guess that noticing them could be hard if you think that your thoughts are just some internal monologue.
Edit: For example, when you are running, do you tell yourself in words where to put your feet or how hard to push or when to slow down or speed up? Pretty sure you don't, that wouldn't be fast enough. Most thoughts you have aren't represented in your words, and some people have basically no thoughts represented as words, they are just pure thoughts like how you place your feet when you try to avoid some obstacles etc. Or some people might think "left right left right" as they are running, but those words aren't how they decide to put down their feets.
- pixl97 4y agoI believe you're conflating a number of neurobiological systems regarding thought in our bodies. Like, talking about components like running that tend to exist further down in our animal brain, or even 'keeping the lights on' systems like making sure our internal organs are up to the right thing are going a little too low level. When it comes to higher level thinking that particular concepts, when presented to the human mind, can change how it thinks. Now, what I don't have in front of me is a study that says people without a voice think differently and come up with different solutions for some types of problems, maybe it exists out there if someone wants to search it up.
