If 50-70% really had no inner monologue, the article would be explaining what having an inner monologue is like rather than the other way around. - pmb Aug 29, 16:04

An internal monologue is boring. Aim for an internal dialogue. -- nm - crash davis Aug 29, 15:10
I can't imagine this is real. Maybe folks don't understand what is being asked. -- nm - MDH Aug 29, 14:34
Internal monologue. My brain NEVER shuts up. Constant stream of language, snippets of music, etc. Sometimes - TWuG Aug 29, 14:29 4
- Today's random thought that could be described as intrusive (spoils) - Beryllium Aug 29, 14:32 1
  - gah, I gotta get my AppleTV access back. - Jovian Aug 29, 14:34
- What's odder to me us people who don't "see" an apple when they hear the word apple or think about an apple - TWuG Aug 29, 14:32 1
  - right exactly. Like when someone says poop on a stick. - Jovian Aug 29, 14:33
I have a hard time believing this, just because it's so hard me to conceive of what this would be like. -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Aug 29, 14:28 2
- Which? Having or not having? -- nm - TWuG Aug 29, 14:30 1
  - not -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Aug 29, 14:57
My inner voice tells me those percentages can't be correct, and now I'm arguing with myself. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 29, 14:27 2
- right?!? -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Aug 29, 14:34
- Yes, my internal monologue is having the same argument. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Aug 29, 14:33
I tell myself random stories in my head. Does that count? But I don't like monologue my actions. - sycor Aug 29, 14:22 1
- I consider the phrase "inner monologue" to refer to any internal dialogue, but particularly "I" and "we" sorts of dialogue. -- (edited) - Beryllium Aug 29, 14:25
Definitely have one. Can't imagine not having it. -- nm - pmb Aug 29, 14:12
God, it must be so nice not to have one. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Aug 29, 14:10 9

  - exactly -- nm - decline Aug 29, 15:01
  - Lord, fair point. - Dark Callisto 🦊 Aug 29, 14:15 4
    - Although, the real noodlebaker: what if the tinnitus is also imagined? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 29, 14:17 3
      - there is absolutely no way its imagined. and if its not natural, its supernatural or its radio signals from outer space. -- nm - Jovian Aug 29, 14:30
      - Then that inner monologue is a real damn jerk. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Aug 29, 14:19 1
        
        Yup. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 29, 14:21
