I don't have an internal dialogue, but I do have imaginary conversations and I compose blog posts, thread comments (like this one) and emails in my head quite a lot. But speaking to myself as a separate voice? It only happens when I'm high. Really. I only discovered that a few years ago when marijuana became legal in California. I was worried at first that I was having some sort of mental break, because I'm really not used to having two separate voices like that talking to each other. Then I looked it up and realized that many (most?) people have some sort of inner dialogue. Thank goodness. I truly thought I was losing my mind. I wonder what it is about THC which causes that effect in my brain? Also, I don't drink - I wonder if many people have a voice because they're commonly imbibing, even a little. I would guess my lack of inner voice is why I tend to blurt out what I'm thinking way more than other people. And I'm not one to engage in conversations in a contemplative way. I realize now that many people I've talked to who seem like they're speaking carefully are actually having a whole other voice in their head making observations, etc.
