Rec | I THINK IT IS JUST ONE TRACK

😃

there is only space for one audio track for voice , so if I am reading the voice speaks the letters. if I am listening to a podcast or anything else the voice reads the sound coming in. Annoying because then I cant do anything else, like I cannot read if someone is talking because the voice gets hijacked . If I am listening I cannot have own word thoughts Also, I have noticed the voice is in english if I am being dramatic, otherwise in my native tongue There are other thoughts not language based, such as conceptualisation of more abstract thoughts, like mathematics or logic, or philosophy in shapes, then there is no voice.

Me but not really

It’s my voice but it’s definitely not me because she refers to me. For instance when I need to get up in the morning it’s like “dude you have to get up you have so much to do and you can’t afford to have a late start.” In other words, it’s never coming through in the first person. So it’s like someone with my voice constantly talking to me I guess. She’s cool though, a little judgy at times, but really fucking funny and I couldn’t imagine living my life without her tbh. The biggest con to an internal monologue in my experience is that I can’t shut it off. And you can’t really ignore it because it’s in your head. It’s insane to me that people don’t have internal monologues, though. Like y’all are just thinking on mute? There’s no one else up there?

i don’t hear my own voice in my head

I don’t really have a distinct internal monologue and def don’t hear my thoughts in my own voice- I’m a twin and my sister does have an internal monologue in her own voice! But it’s hard to explain what shape thoughts take for me- thinking in Vibes or something 😎😎😎

Part Self-instruction, part simulated dialogue

so about half the time my "internal monologue" is my own voice giving myself instructions (ex. "ok, i have ten minutes to spare. what should i do? i think i'm gonna pull up pi.fyi and look at posts until i have to get back to work."). it's not literally me listening to my own voice because i am conceptualizing the voice much faster than i (or any human) is capable of speaking, but it definitely coherently exists in my head as a fleshy .mp3 file, and it is definitely my voice. the other half of the time i am simulating social scenarios in my head. there are a variety of scenarios where i do this: sometimes i am actually rehearsing for a real social situation that is actually going to happen, sometimes i'm merely preparing for the possibility of a social situation, sometimes i'm trying to do a post-mortem on a situation that has already occurred so i can think about how to improve, and sometimes i'm just talking to an imaginary adversary in my head in order to find and plug holes in my worldview / philosophy etc. adding the caveat that if i am alone (or merely think i am alone) the "internal" monologue / conversation frequently becomes an external one, and i am sometimes ambushed by my partner and / or roommates who occasionally hear me passionately arguing with an imaginary person and i've just kind of made peace with the fact that i am going to appear casually schizophrenic to anyone who catches me doing this because i genuinely believe that actively trying to rehearse conversations and arguments in advance is what helped me get over my debilitating introversion to the extent that i have
