I have aphantasia, no visual mind images, and was thinking about the cartoon representation of the devil and angel battling on the character's shoulders. I learned counting sheep meant actually watching sheep in their mind. Could it be like that? I'm debating if I have an interal monologe. I can "speak" words in my head. But I wrote this comment without planning and just wrote it down as it came to me saying each word in my inner voice as I typed it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] NihilsineNefas@slrpnk.net 1 point 5 months ago* I'm by NO means a normal person, but I can have full conversations with imaginary people, and if I try, I can put that part of my own thoughts I'm 'talking to' into either a setting or a person I know's body, at which point the me in my head talks to them like I would talk to that person. It's like rubber ducking but in my own head. But in terms of arguing with myself about things, I do it a lot when I weigh up pros and cons of doing something, different 'parts of me/my brain' giving differing opinions to come to a decision. I mean this with no jokes or puns, but I can't imagine having aphantasia, though that's partially because my work and hobbies revolve around (that pun was intended) a lot of mental manipulation of 3d objects to understand how things work. permalink fedilink source parent
