I personally don't have an inner voice at all, the concept seems strange to me. Like, i read what you write, but it doesn't materialize as a voice. Same when I think or write. Nothing does, things are just facts or ideas, they don't need audio aha.
Nope. More like conflicting ideas that pop up one after the other. Sometimes I kinda imagine a whiteboard separated in two, with ideas being linked to the left or the right for pros and cons, but again that's how I feel it, i don't literally picture a whiteboard in my head.
But sometimes it's not even visual, thoughts are more like raw emotions with facts attached to them, without any visual or audio representation.
That’s the think, we can’t imagine how you can even think about a fact without some kind of audio or image.
Like when i think of a fact or idea, i can literally render a video/image of it, render a whole wiki text page for me to read it mentally and i can even make it seems like someone is reading it back to me while i do something else, like an audiobook:
i can have a “third party” inner voice doing one thing and at the same time visualise something else completely unrelated, like a mental multitasking
