I'm always thinking if this is what it's about. There's no radio static up there, I just find the idea of constantly talking to yourself and not just letting your thoughts flow to be overwhelming.

I feel like it can definitely feel overwhelming sometimes, especially if I’m trying to focus and there’s just a bunch of stuff going on in my brain.
But at the same time, my inner monologue isn’t just that. It definitely feels like a whole other world up there and that’s why I don’t think that I would ever choose to not have one, given the chance. Because sometimes I’ll be upset about this or that, and I’ll just kind of zone out and my brain will just be playing my favorite song and stuff, and it just serves as my escape for things that I don’t wanna feel.
But then again, it’s probably a lot easier to focus if I didn’t have all the noise in my head. Because I had midterms the other week, and it was a lot harder to focus because I was thinking about random things. -
Thinking about random things doesn't change just because you have an inner monologue.
There's just no dialogue to your thoughts is the only difference. -
Oh my bad lol
-
But it’s weird to imagine how people think that don’t have an inner dialogue, because it’s like the only way I’ve ever thought about things. Like I know that other people still think, but I don’t get what it’s like when you can’t hear a voice or see an image (some people with that thing where they can’t visualize.)

Aphantasia is what it's called when you can't visualize things.
I don't know how to describe it well for you. Really quiet. -
You can also literally not be thinking about anything.
I've heard that most people with a monologue never think about nothing. -
Oh man I've done that :0
Sometimes when things are kinda eh I like staring at a wall or ceiling and just blanking my mind like an etch-a-sketch -
It depends on the day.
I either have it constantly, and it's just like a narration as if I was a main character talking to an audience. " Or I have nothing at all, and I'm on autopilot. But if too many people are talking and interrupt my inner monologue, the thought completely stops in it's tracks and I can't remember, like a reset on my brain. -
I do. I'm constantky in my head, narrating what I do, voicing my thoughts, feelings, grudges, sorrows, etc. I'm in my head more than I'm ever present in the moment.
-
i only have one if i force myself like i have to actively think about it to get one
-
or when i’m playing a game and i’m pissed i start hearing the worst insults ever in my mind
-
I have one and it never shuts tf up

I do, but it comes and goes. I almost always read with voice in my mind, but when I have my own thoughts it doesn't always have a voice associated. Sometimes I just process thoughts "fluidly", in a manner I'm not even sure could be put into words, but it's not at all uncommon for them to be inner actual sentences like I'm talking to someone else, but it's just me. Basically talking to myself, but not out loud. I've really never got how some people say their inner monologue is 'incomplete' in that it's partially worded and partially not, where the voice comes and goes even during a thought that would otherwise be a sentence, I feel like if my mind did that, that would bother me a lot. When I have an inner voice it's almost always the same as if I was talking out loud to myself, but only in my head. Sentences and everything. Sometimes I trail off, sure, but we do that in actual speech too.
