Psychologists began looking into the function of inner speech in the 1930s.
It was the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky who suggested that external conversation can become internalized.
He even proposed that self-talk was highly abbreviated and included a lot of omissions.
Many people use their inner monologue positively as a way to collect and organize their thoughts.
So, if you have no inner monologue, should you be worried?
Studies show that some individuals never experience it at all, while others only experience it occasionally.
Interestingly, researchers atHarvard Universityhave found that visual and verbal thinking are highly linked.
In fact, people with a clear inner monologue typically have stronger mental visuals to accompany their verbal thoughts.

I genuinely have full conversations with myself in my head.
Id get so bored if I didnt have an internal monologue.
It still amazes me that many people think like that & not in concepts like me.
Thoughts are thoughts for me, separate from words or images.
People really think in sentences??
?
