~50% of people don’t have an inner monologue. do you? when does it happen for you, or is it 24/7?

I really don’t get how people don’t have an inner monologue— do they just hear nothing in their heads? This always fascinates me.

Agree — it’s baffling to me as well

Can either of you describe what it feels like? I don't think I have one.

It's a lot like if you are "thinking out loud" in front of someone – saying your thoughts as they are emerging to you naturally. An inner monologue is like doing that process, but within your own mind. Sometimes you can actually hear the words but often you can just kind of feel them.

So like thinking without consciously choosing to think? Or is it thinking about the thoughts? What might be some words you would hear/feel?

for example with this cast reply I am hearing/feeling the words emerge (including different sorts of options) before/while I am writing it

My inner monologue is constant — sometimes reflecting what I’m doing (writing) sometimes reflecting on the world around me. And sometimes having arguments with people in my head.
