Inner monologue

My inner monologue is like Slim Shady + Speedy Gonzales drifting through all of my complex emotions. I feel really strongly at all times, and I'm constantly thinking through things, planning things, imagining the future, and wishing for certain things. It's my voice really on the day to day, but I have had really incredible delusions when I've been in amphetamine and/or dissociative psychosis. I really can't describe it, but it gets crazy in there.

It only really stops when I sleep. Even then my sleep is really troubled most times.

I only have an internal monologue when I am modeling conversations or trying to work through something language-related. It is strongest when I'm angry and I find myself talking to myself in several versions of myself that are conversing/arguing through what I'm angry about.

Most of my thoughts are wordless and sort of like a series of conceptual/sensory packages. Or it's wordless logic based, or music-based.

inner monologue for me is two of several characters I created for this purpose discussing a similar situation to which i'm currently dealing with.

otherwise it's like @Xork explains.
nonverbal processing is so much faster and accurate. and it feels more natural to me.

How do you know what you are reading if you don't hear the words in your head??

I can't see the x thing because I'm on my phone. But when I read I recognize words as patterns which I connect to a specific image or concept.

this is really relevant looking at current mind warfare. So apparently a decent percentage of people have no internal dialogue; most people do though. Current cognitive weapons target internal dialogue by disrupting it and attempting to use subliminal dialogue in its place.
 
Something talks to me at times of Crisis, it's not "my" voice but will tell me things inside my "mind" when it is needed.
This "Voice" has kept my alive at times of extreme danger before & helped me out in big ways, some may call it "God" or "Spirits" I guess but I am not here to label whatever it is but it's not done me wrong yet.
 
i have schizophrenia where i hear a lot of voices outside my head... that can go away with some medication, but intrusive thoughts as inner dialogue won't go away with any medication and the intrusive thoughts in my head are actually a lot worse when medicated... not to say medications don't work for some people.

i can actually do impressions of voices in my head that sound just like real people and it's stuff i could never vocalize.. sometimes i can remember people's voices as voices of my inner dialogue too.
