There were five to start with, but I invited a sixth. I’m not sure what I would do all day without the voices in my head. It lends a new perspective to consider that a “normal” individual might not have access to an inner dialog. So you could have a pleasant voice, a crazy voice, a depressed voice, an evil voice, or a nagging voice. Quite the opposite, in fact, as my psychology education strongly suggested that our inner dialog is often the root of many mental health problems. I didn’t think my internal voice was a design option. And on some days I have to remind it to use its inside voice. How do they think? Decide? Or, more importantly,-judge others?ĭescartes said, “I think therefore, I am.” And while we may assume other creatures “think,” without language, I’ve always considered the uniquely human version of “thought” to be inseparable from “words.” I can’t fully wrap my head around the idea of a silent brain. In the business of my daily life, I consider internal dialog as the essence of “me.” It seems that inside their heads, they don’t talk to themselves. I read several articles recently that revealed some people do not have an inner voice.
