We are all different. I hear my words in my brain as words said but I do not hear them in a voice or my own voice. They are just thoughts that are there in sentence form. This is how I think.

I have another mode that I call survival mode. No thoughts just actions and more animalistic. I prefer the thinking mode.

I don't know if this is related or not, but I was equally shocked to learn that about a third of adults have no capacity for abstract thought, and most of the rest have only varying degrees of capability.

"The research demonstrates to us that only a few (about 10%) of the adult population are ever fully equipped with formal operational thinking skills – whether or not they have received any higher education. Between 30% and 40% of the population lack the ability to engage in this type of thought completely. The remaining 50 to 60 percent have some formal operational thinking skills ranging from barely demonstrating that they have any to usually, but not always using them." [hethoughts.wordpress.com]
