    Like I pointed out in the mugging example, it’s entirely optional. It can just get out of hand sometimes lol.

    I say that as someone with an extremely active internal monologue.

      Sounds like others’ are more active than yours. People in this thread talk as if theirs never stops.

        Mine never does unless I actively focus on it, like through meditation. But it’s still me lol, the alternative is what’s called schizophrenia.

        I can’t speak for everyone, but in my case, yes, I can control the voice just like I can control my physical voice. Sometimes they’ll be automatic, yes, but that’s no different from your way of thinking while doing some chore, like washing dishes.
