SOME PEOPLE DONT HAVE A VOICE IN THEIR HEAD?( I have a never ending internal narrative that goes on and on about raccoons and lasagna and I wouldn’t change a thing
There are people who are clearly normal, like me: Let’s pause for a moment, shall we? So those of you who do can take a moment to discuss it with yourselves.
There are literally thousands of comments, retweets, and likes on Kyle’s post. How is that even possible? And I’m not the only one with questions. I didn’t actually believe that when you ask someone what they’re thinking and they respond with “Nothing,” that they are truly thinking NOTH-ING. I mean, what’s going on in there? Are you just listening to yourself breathing? Do you have moments of complete and utter silence? Is your mind blank? And this isn’t the way everyone’s brain works? How can you NOT have an inner voice? I stood in front of that display case for at least a minute arguing with myself.
#DOES EVERYONE HAVE AN INTERNAL MONOLOGUE FULL#
I have a running commentary from sun-up to sun-down.Īt the grocery store yesterday? I had a full on debate in my head over whether or not the brand name free-range eggs were really worth the 10 cents more than the no name brand. I have conversations with myself in the car, in the grocery store, lying in bed.Īs I write this? I’m also having a secondary conversation going on in the background of my mind about whether or not I’m going to make tacos even though it’s Taco Tuesday, but I’m so sick and tired of tacos. “Fun fact: some people have an internal narrative and some don’t”įun fact: some people have an internal narrative and some don’tĪs in, some people’s thoughts are like sentences they “hear”, and some people just have abstract non-verbal thoughts, and have to consciously verbalize themĪnd most people aren’t aware of the other type of personīecause my inner voice? Never shuts up. In a mere 240 characters, some guy named Kyle from Seattle, WA, with the twitter handle, has made me rethink everything I thought I knew about thinking, and now my brain hurts.
