@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.

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.

@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...

@Chigaze interesting.

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.
