@bender Well no. Some of us don't. Let me point you at some research on the subject 😅 Some people don't have an inner monologue

@bender So yeah, no, I do not have an inner monologue at all. Most of the time my inner mind is busy just replaying music or visuals (or at least it used to before I lost my sight, these days it just replays visuals and sounds), but there is never a time when I "talk to myself", ever, I don't ever think through something, a problem or an activity and have self-arguments. I just do.

You can basically think of this as pattern-matching. I'm very very good at very fast pattern matching and piecing pices of a puzzle together very quickly, sometimes with very little to go on, it's often gotten me into a lot of trouble at work in my career because I can make a lot of assumptions very very quickly.

Most of the time, I take a very very long time to do anything. If I say, for example, "I'll build an IRC Web Client", that may not happen for weeks, if not months, until my sub conscience has has time to process everything. It's like basically a "feeling" of internal readiness. I never talk through it, never actively think about it, it just happens.
