I've got an inner dialog going on all the time. Sometimes it's self-criticism, which I'm trying to break myself of, but often it's the self regulating, like stay calm, have some grace, keep on going, like with physical exercises, stay on task. Sometimes it's me getting better, so like don't expect perfection, good enough is good enough.

The past few years, I've been asking myself every few minutes, "Is this what I really want to be doing right now, or should I be doing something else?" I find this helps me stick to activities or pass times that either give me joy, help my sanity or make me money.

When it's not thoughts in my mind, I nearly always have a song in my head, over and over all day same song, but it's usually a good one!

About the only time it isn't going on is when l am playing music. Sometimes l wish it would SHUT THE FUCK UP!

It's always been there, can't imagine being with out it.

This is such an intriguing subject that I did some research on YouTube and found some very interesting videos with people that have this .What’s really unsettling is that these individuals cannot visualize memories. Their thought process is probably alien to anything that we could imagine

My internal monologue is almost perpetual. It is silent whenever I am listening to somebody else.

I keep pets around so I always have the excuse of talking to them when I really am arguing with myself...out loud.

The idea of a completely/mostly silent mind conjures an image of a desolate landscape for me.

I recall many years ago when I use to hang out with a group of guys in a coffee shop, there was one person who never laughed at jokes. I use to wonder about his lack of laughter until one day it dawned on me that he may have been unable to visualise the elements of a joke that combine to produce laughter.

Interesting, I'm more of a freak than I thought. I've always had an internal dialog.
