What does this mean?
- Filligree 3y agoWhat is an internal monologue, exactly? Certainly I've heard to words a lot, but... what is it? That thing. I don't do that.
- yreg 3y agoIt's thinking in words.

- TeMPOraL 3y agoNo, that's called aphantasia, it's orthogonal to not having an inner monologue (the "voice in your head"), and there are in fact people who effectively hallucinate on demand. Which I suppose explains a lot of phrases that make little sense if they're only taken symbolically. Or why some people like long scenery descriptions in books - they can literally imagine it. Unfortunately, I'm aphantasic, so I can't.
- bongodongobob 3y agoDid you get a CT scan or MRI? Or self-diagnosed?
