I'm somewhere between the top two, but I rounded up for the purposes of this post. -

@ottaross I went occasionally as while the running monologue is always going it only occasionally becomes vocal. Then usually whispered under my breath although sometimes I yell.
My partner has noted that she knows when I'm thinking hard about somethings as my lips move. Also I'm just noting that I tend to subvocalize has I type posts.

@Chigaze interesting - you make me wonder if people's responses would be different between working on a virtual thing (computer/smartphone) versus physical (building/making/wiring/plumbing).
Maybe good for a follow-up poll.

@ottaross As I just fixed a homophone error in my post I have other wonder if the reason I'm prone to them is that I'm typing what I hear in my head rather than the word separate from what it sounds like.

@wedge I agree. Particularly when stumped on a problem, it seems to help to talk it out.

@ottaross Only when I'm swearing at the thing or trying to coax it. It never listens to me. Banal repetitive internal monologue is constant. The more monotonous the task the dumber and more repetitive the monologue is.

@ottaross Somewhere between occasionally and constantly.

Sounds like about half of us talk to ourselves, and the other half do it a bit or not at all.
Thanks for weighing in everyone! Glad to hear I'm not the only one nattering away to myself while working alone on stuff. 🤭

@ottaross Could be, but it could also be that half of us talk to ourselves, and the other half don't listen to themselves.

I recently realized that the surveillance eavesdroppers are not getting much info from my microphone and it was a pleasing thought.

@ottaross It's estimated between 5 and 10% of people have no internal monologue so I'm betting those people at least don't talk to themselves.
Or maybe they vocalize more as they can't in their head... -

I remember hearing somewhere that the concept of reading silently was 'invented' within human memory. Like a few to several centuries ago, before which reading universally meant reading aloud.

@ottaross Definitely plausible. When literacy was uncommon I could see those who could read reading for their friends and family.
