What's the difference between an internal monologue and just thoughts?

[โ€“] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

A monologue is and actual voice talking in your head, I think.

Never experienced it so ๐Ÿคท

That's correct. If I'm actively thinking about something or especially going over and processing some information, I do it like I'm expleining the thing to someone else in my head, using an actual voice in my mind.

So that simulated voice of yourself saying something inside your own mind, that's "inner monologue"?
@lepinkainen@lemmy.world So you don't have that? What happens in your mind when you imagine yourself explaining something to someone?
