tfw you don't have an internal monologue...

Me neither. Well, sort of. I kinda have a dialogue in my head where I say what is on my mind while talking to another person. But even if get an internal monologue, it's detached if that makes sense. It took me throughout my life to only realise recently that most people have internal monologues, and a lot of people don't like it.

Studying the inner monologue, or lack thereof, is actually a newly emerging study. There is newly coined term for someone with little to no inner monologue but I forgot what it is called. Anyhow, a study found that those with little or no internal monologue tend to be forgetful, because they don't repeat what they have to remember in their minds. Which explains a lot why I am forgetful.

My internal FM mostly plays music unless I'm thinking of something to say.
