Yes, and I replay conversations over and over in my head and think shit... did I really just say that?Just over a year ago, I read something that totally blew my mind: apparently less than half of people have an inner monologue?! I do and I always assumed everyone else did too. Apparently some people have only visual thoughts, and/or process information like a computer that directly outputs them. I have both an inner monologue and visual thoughts, but my computer brain has my inner monologue preview its findings before printing, so to speak. I tend to overthink evvvvverything.
I can’t imagine how peaceful it must be to not hear that inner critic all the time, or not get anxiety-brain while trying to sleep, or not have their brains constantly self-correcting every word they’re about to say or write.
