Today I had two hours of afterschool detention, for falling asleep in English class. I had told my sister Mary beforehand to tell Dad to pick me up at 4:30 when she got home. My dad has one of those jobs where somedays he'll got off at 3, somedays he'll get off at 7, and somedays there's not enough work at work for him to even go at all. I decided to take the chance of Dad getting home late because the school bus that arrives at 4:30 only goes within a mile and a half of my house, making me arrive there around 60.Well, I was sitting on a stone bench out in front of the school listening to part of a Baptist choir rehearsing at 5:30 and Dad still hadn't picked me up. And that's when other people started arriving. Apparently, an awards banquet was being held for seniors in the cafeteria, the entrance to which is conviently placed about 4 feet from the bench.Well, having near to 700 people pass by you, with you being the only one wearing blue jeans, not to mention the youngest one, is a very weird experience. Although I didn't manage to get out any Hellos or Heys, I did say a few What time is it?s and even two Can I borrow your cellphone?s.I ended up staying past 7:20, and now moved from the bench, still had to watch everyone leave and move around a couple of times to keep out the way of people taking pictures. Dad picked me up around 7:30, making a total of 12 hours I stayed at school today, losing blood circulation to various body parts various times.

It might be weirder when people do, one time I was sitting and eating a pizza when some guy asks if he could sit at my table. I let him and he just sat staring off into space as I wolfed down a pizza.

When I finished he said "thanks for letting me sit here"

I was like "no problem" then left and never saw him again.

Sorry for co-opting this thread, but I read this recently: https://ryanandrewlangdon.wordpress.com ... ed-my-day/

I was wondering how many people here don't have internal monologues?

I think I do some of both. I remember exclusively having a monologue style thinking process but now I find it easier to feel my thoughts and then write/type as I think to help keep track

When I'm tyring to think of a solution to a problem I'll often sort of feel my thoughts and write them down while trying to think of what tools to solve it with and then monologue the actual implementation of the solution

Yeah. I was going to research it this weekend. I always knew the development of an inner monologue is considered one of those growth milestones. I never wondered what percentage of people went life without it. There's someone here who studied psychology (and probably graduated by now), but I'm blanking on the name. I can almost see the avatar..

Sometimes I think in interpretive dance. Every time I walk into a room I strike a pose or do something with my body to signify that I am happy with the current state of affairs.
In public I usually just make the thumbs up a lot every time something good happens. But I keep it to myself. I don't raise my arm or anything. And in between rooms/completed tasks, cool music plays in my head.

Apparently it's the next stage of development that comes after inner monologue. I was really surprised when I learned not everyone grooved their way through life like I do.

This distinction seems to be too binary to me. I know at least two persons who have this inner dialogue constantly and basically can't stop to verbalize everything in their head, whereas I only do it when reading or actively pondering.
As an example, I can just watch my cat for minutes and feel happiness and smile, while my ex would literally have a "the cat is so cute. Now it licks its paws. I like the cat" inner monologe going on etc.
She could not understand that I can "think nothing".

I imagine those that see words are the ones that end up with flawless spelling.

My monologue only does sentences at a time, but I don't need it to drown things out.

Do I REALLY suck? That's up to you to decide.

Retiring from LSG's and Mish Mash, for the most part. If you want to contact me, I suggest going outside and enjoying what the world has to offer, instead.

Definitely DID suck, in the end...Probably.

Huh, inner monologue is basis of life to me.
As I type this every word is sounded out in my head.

I suspect everyone does it, but are not aware of it. Sometime I'm not. In social circumstances for example.

And the "voice" (tone, pitch) change depending on the circumstances, my mood .
I would say it comes from reading a lot, and "acting out" the characters dialogue, the narrator in my head since young.

Marker of control freaks, introvert tendencies in my case I'd think. Comes in (bad) rhymes when I'm angry or amused. With music in really dramatic dreams.

Edit: though now I've read the post kk linked, I understand the no inner monologue thing as well. In so called neuro excercices (memory games, mental calculation etc that you find in brain training apps) the answers come without me sounding the whole operation out in my inner voice. I actually perform worst if I try to sound out every numbers in mental calculation tasks. Also sometimes I just get image. That's when, I suspect, my mind is too tired, or doesn't have the words to express the thought. The verbalizing part is then a secondary effort to describe the thought.
