Internal monologue
Do you have one? I recently found out that some people do not and that blew my mind. I can’t even imagine it, really.

@Imsleepy Yes thats makes sense especially because I am often far too verbose, but when thinking internally words are just too slow. I dont need words.
My mind will go something like. Lots to do, busy, sleepy, pretty hair, whats in freezer, cook chicken, whats that smell?, is he home yet, call mom all in like 5 seconds. I can't even make words that fast. Its just thoughts with no articulation. Its hard to explain but I can think all of those things with no words in mind.
In fact in order to specifically remember things I sometimes speak aloud or mentally slowly think words because I think really fast and will forget things sometimes and not be mentally present.
