I do either, depending on the situation. For me, verbalizing things, internally, is like writing things down - it allows for more organization and review. (Consider https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging)
It's clear to me that the main ideas come non-verbally first, and then I translate into words.
- vidarh 3y agoI will have conversations with myself, but it's clear thoughts also form without verbal translation. Interestingly another distinction when it comes to inner life is whether people have a monologue or multiple voices. I only have a rather incessant monologue of myself narrating and practicing things to say or going over multiple sides of an argument in my own voice. It only ever stops when I sleep or meditate.
