Do you have an inner dialogue?

Yes, pretty much non stop. This is an interesting topic because I tend to overthink certain situations, but it seems the inner dialogue is directly tied to self awareness. And some people just have zero self awareness but are still functionally ‘normal.’ Are they the ones who lack inner dialogue?

I break the 4th wall like 16 times a day.

My inner monologue is incessant. I’m never not hearing constant chatter in my head. I have a friend who does not have an inner monologue. She described her thoughts as pictures rather than words. I get pictures, as well, but I can’t imagine thinking without words.

Press Maravich, Pete's father, said he dreamed in Serbian, the language of his youth.

I would imagine impulsive, fly by the seat of their pants, people don’t do this.

Research suggests that 30% to 50% of people regularly experience an inner monologue or inner dialogue

I have a hard time comprehending that only 30 - 50% of people have no internal dialogue. What's going on in the majority of people's heads? Nothing? How do you solve a problem or make a decision without an internal dialogue?
