My internal monologue has no sound, it’s just raw words. Not text, just the concept of words.
My thoughts can have a voice if I give it one, but not by default. Usually things only have “sound” in my head if I’m playing a song in my head or something.
For me no inner voice of any kind. It’s just sort of there. No minds eye either.
If anyone wants to look them up they are called Aphantasia (no pictures in mind) and Anendophasia (no inner voice).
I have a minds eye and can give my thoughts a voice if I choose, but they aren’t there by default. Interestingly though, I am a parent to a child who appears to have aphantasia.
This is me too. Though I can generate an inner steam of words, those words have no audio qualities and are purely conceptual. They also come “after the fact”. I’m thinking of words, rather than words being the medium of my thoughts.
I’m trans. Born male, transitioned female. I’ve always had a female inner monologue. Nothing like what I sound like out loud.
That’s interesting. I’m also transfeminine, and my inner voice sounds like however I think I sound at the moment. Like, it transitioned with me, and also changes when I’m sick.
It usually sounds like me. I can hear it in someone else’s voice if I’m thinking about something they said or might say. I can use other voices too, or make one up, but that takes more effort.
There’s also one that feels like a ghost of my real voice. That’s the fastest one to think in. It’s very neutral and colorless (for anyone else who thinks of voices in terms of colors).
It’s mine, always has been. Always knew it wasn’t god speaking to me.
Unfortunately it’s also self-loathing. I’ve spent years retraining it / myself.
My internal monologue adopts whatever voice end accent fits the situation and what I am thinking about. Otherwise it is mostly ethereal and has no sound unless I think about it and give it a “voice.”
It sounds like how I sound to myself when speaking, but not how I sound listening to a recording of myself.
It also sounds different if I’m reading someone else’s words.
Mine takes on elements of whoever I’ve been hearing a lot of lately. Had Dexter’s voice when I was watching the show. Had Serj Tankien for a bit. It varies.
I sound more confident in my head than when I actually say things out loud, I wish my outer voice was just as confident as my inner voice
Usually sounds like Jay, from Jay and Silent Bob.
It doesn’t have a sound, it’s just the words themselves.
I know this is impossible to describe like explaining vision to a blind person, but how does that work? I can hear mine and can not hear someone if I’m thinking hard enough
Maybe I do hear it in some sense, but in my head it doesn’t seem to have the sound of a voice in the sense that you hear Professor Farnsworth’s distinct voice when you read, “Good News, Everyone!” My own thoughts don’t seem to have a sound. Maybe it’s just a neutral sound that doesn’t seem to be a sound because it’s my own thoughts, I dunno.
It sounds like a pirate which is me.
It sounds like me, and it’s judgy
It doesn’t sound like me, It (usually) sounds like a man, (which I’m not) but it also sounds female sometimes (but also not my vocie) It must have something to do with the fact that I don’t like the sound of my voice. The inner monologue also goes back and forth between the languages that I know.
Same here to some degree. I can make it lower-pitched, and it still feels natural, but not higher-pitched without focusing hard for some reason.
It’s abstract and doesn’t sound like anything. I’m not literally hearing anything just like I’m not literally seeing anything either when I’m visualizing things despite my ability to do so.
Me, absolutely me. Full on audio, my voice. Not all the time, but a lot of the time.
