[QUOTE="Bagpuss, post: 9615972, member: 3987"] Okay after listening to Hank I don't think I have an internal monologue most of the time, until I try and put ideas into words. I mean as I type I am thinking about the words, but really only because I am typing. I'm not really hearing them before I type them however they just seem to flow after each other. I do occasionally think in words, but more it's nebulous concepts until I need to formulate them into something more concrete. I can switch off completely think about nothing, just focus on breathing for example and the experience of that, no words going on at all. Most of the time I am living in the now, I experience the moment, without some inner monologue describing it or thinking words about the future. I have a concept of the motivations and goals of the NPC in my head and then I think as that character would think, and the words just come out like when I speak myself. Maps I doing some artistic process imagining the image I want to create and then making my best attempt to put that down on paper or in photoshop. I am not thinking "I need to pick a 2B pencil, draw a line here" in my head I'm just doing it, although is that what people with internal monologue are thinking, or are they sort of talking to themselves, "I think a town would be right here." As they draw a town? Or are you thinking about completely unrelated stuff. [/QUOTE]
