I think you'd be surprised. I never knew that internal monologues were a thing until there was a HN thread about it and a lot of people had them and a lot of people didn't. I always thought it was something that we did in TV shows or books to give you a sense of what a character was feeling, I didn't know this was an actual literal experience people had. I can certainly have an internal monologue, in the way that you could put on a puppet show. I can conciously think to myself 'self, this is self. Clean your car out' I can form the feeling of those words in my head. But there's nobody 'saying' them if that makes sense. I'm playing back a design of my conscious self.
