I would give up my mind visuals for your quiet mind!😳

You cannot think a word?

can you hear the beach ?

What about your nightime dreams? Most people don’t easily remember most dreams but they can usually remember a few dreams. In your dream i’m sure you would have the visual and audio of the place and if someone was talking to you, you would be ‘hearing’ it. Basically it’s like experiencing a waking life reality, but more foggy depending on how aware you were and how well you remember the dream. When you say you can “force” the inner voice when your awake that means to me that you do have the same inner audio abilities, but you just use your inner voice much less than others.

You are a real beautiful soul as you are

This! It's like the explanation I tried giving but couldn't put in words for the longest.... I'm like on the near end of aphantasia (like 1/10), I dream and remember but not like others do. I do have an internal monologue though (a very active one).

Monologue, no monologue, pictures, no pictures, visual thinking vs verbal thinking: I can do all these things easily enough. I use whatever approach is best suited to the situation...... And even though this woman regrets that her childhood memories are not as complete or intense as the other "monologue" people around her, the simple fact is that most people can't remember jack sh!t from highschool anyway, after 5-10yrs, and their recall is almost nonexistent.

Imo, I think the best way to explain how she experiences life is like during meditation where you quite you inner voice (stop talking to yourself) and stop imagining things (visualizing images in your head). Instead, you just look around yourself and experience. You know where you are, what your looking at, and you can speak without the need of the inner voice and eyes.

I waited 3 mins and you literally said nothing ... wasted my time

it means ur a npc

You’re probably ultra impulsive and a poor planner

For me I wouldn't say I have an inner monolog, it more like a inner conversation between several internal "people"/"voices". I also can definitely picture things in my head in a low resolution way.

I think that she does have an internal voice. She's just giving herself the silent treatment. She seems nice though. Her inner voice must just not wanna be around people...

It's been a long time since it was aploaded, but YES. It's really really close to my experience. I think of my thought process as a deprivation pool frome stranger things or that water cave in korra. Dark, no sounds, no temperature, no smells just comfy laying in the water. And the thoughts are like ripples. They come when I need them and I feel them, not anything else.

I think it's a matter of being conscious about something happening or not. As an aphant I must have and process the visual information in my head, or otherwise many things would be virtually impossible. I actually do very well in IQ tests that require "seeing" how objects move, rotate and how they look like after that. I can do that without consciously seeing anything, although my logical reasoning tells me that I have to see it in some meaning of the word. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to have a clue. This raises very interesting questions about the nature of consciousness as a whole, it's a bit mind-blowing.

It must be very quiet when you're alone

BE AWARE OF HEMISYNC. I have lost my ability to visualize after listening Hemisync H-Plus - "sensory seeing session" After closing my eyes I saw darknes no mental images.I didn`t realize it from the beginning..... it also had an impact on my planning a day... I diagnosed it and I was surprised that this has a "medical index named: APHANTASIA.Horibble thing -- all is about neurology and neurons connections - I hope the solution could be Psilocybin mushrooms and marijuana. Try mudras, marmas and meditation, neurotransmiters, supplements drugs all... ! Write in the comments what was effective for you.....I wish our all to find the solution and remove the aphantasia from our minds. Kind regards. Konrad

When I was young I don't have inner monoluges but when I got married and gave birth everything's change, I felt lonely, alone and depress and no one can talk to and got into inner monologue but now I want to go back to myself where I only live in a present moment

A writing curriculum that was really popular had lessons that frequently asked students to refer to "the movie in their mind" to help them add details to their writing. I used it for years thinking it was metaphorical, never understanding that people really do see movies in their minds!

Can you dream with visuals?

now ask your self, who modified us and why we dont know about the manipulation that is obvious.

If anything you are just narcissistic. If not then you dont have any of this made up shit

So i. Short if your family disapired you wood not even remember them Sad ...and not only that what are the fealings to them when you cant imagin them at all

As someone with OCD, I’m jealous

Thank you for this. I also lack a minds eye or inner monologue. I've never heard anyone describe this experience-- and I only know that I was different mainly because of going to therapy and getting the feeling that most people have discrete thoughts going on, or.. well I don't know? Not really knowing how to answer some of the questions because honestly, they never made sense to me... thoughts are just not discrete, maybe more like predictive sublimated impressions? I dunno. I read super fast (with great comprehension even), have been considered by the academy to be a very good writer, and think very quickly on my feet.... it's always been a superpower of sorts (it's almost instinctual?). I wish I understood a bit more how it all worked. I am amazed that you have a partner willing to talk with you about these very hard things to articulate because I do believe some of how we can understand our variation is in relationship to the "other."

I can visualize anything on a whim. I am a visual thinker when I want to be and not when I do not want to be. I can think in words or I can turn off my inner monologue. I've honed it to a skill too I can look intently at something distant and visualize what it looks like up close almost like mental binoculars. I guess I assumed everyone operated with some variation of the same, but I now understand there are some who cannot form "visual imagery" at all? I understand if it is not the default mode of going about their day, but that is kind of shocking to me I don't think I could stand it if I couldn't visualize imagery.

Do you see things in your dreams?

BS hypocrite LIAR! There is NO human with no inner monologue.

Who can think about an inner monologue at the same time?

Wait what? You want to tell me that you are not even telepatic?

The most mindblowing thing for me is that there are people who realize this so late in their life. Isn't it something that you should pick up as a kid?

I have the same thing. I’ve been an artist for 40 years…you’re wondering how? I’ve used my materials to inspire me. I use a lot of hand made Japanese paper, lots of colour, texture and design, then my instincts kick in I’m gone….. I also wonder if anyone else is “face blind” as well. I don’t recognize people I know. My daughters boyfriend of 15 years, thinks it’s funny that I don’t recognize him on the bus or when he walk toward me on the street, only after he waves do I know it’s him.

How do you engage in critical thinking?

actually most people don't have an inner voice. I used to think they did but no it's not true. so you are more normal I guess

Just think about a person who had the first inner monologue they probably was called a witch and got killed

I have two inner monologues can actually put myself in a different location i can touch a pencil in my mind and can feel it when i read a book it actually takes me there 😭 i thought everyone had this power

I can't imagine having aphantasia before the advent of porn 😂😂 how are you supposed to get off "on your own" if you can't see/visualise anything???

This is an interesting topic. Almost everything i do has an inner dialog . If i didnt have one i feel like i wouldnt be able to do mostly everything. I can drive without thinking about it, but i couldnt avoid an accident without thinking about the risk in my head. I do have a feeling of what should happen, but its normally combined with inner thoughts.... Like i said if i didnt have an inner monologue i would disregard everything as not improtant enough to remember.

This sounds so depressing!

I understand, and experience, what you mean by "knowing", along with more typical ways of thinking. Often when I'm reading I have the same kind of soundless thought rendering "voice", or internally audible voice voice depending on a lot of factors, commonly influenced by the type or quality of the writing.

...I don't like my mind's-eye/internal-monologue... often times, it feels like a dark version of myself who gets louder the more i care about whatever I'm doing or thinking about... without it, I think I'd be A LOT more successful and happy in my life. it has held me back, made me trip, and crippled me during so many significant moments of my life. and it makes a lot of seemingly common aspects of life a lot more difficult to accept.

Talk about present in the moment !!

Its not Literally a visual picture like the same way your eyes see. Its kinda murky or more like something in between a thought and a picture

My inner dialogue keeps me up every night

Technically everyone sees pictures in their head, reality is nothing but an illusion provided by our brain, we aren't actually looking at anything, we are receiving everything. In a meditative state we can project the image in our mind to the image we perceive with our eyes. Curious if you remember dreams? As they are the inner picture presented as being perceived with our eyes.

girl u are so real i love u 😭 cant believe this video is 4 years old im lowkey like ur clone but a 17 y/o

I can make a video in my mind of posh spice talking like Morgan freeman about the first time she ate ice cream. I can also build models of the inside of things in my mind. I also have to say every word of everything i read in my mind and It's so painfully slow.

Thanks for sharing. This is fascinating to me. It is really sad that you can't see the faces of your loved ones. ❤

“my brain is quiet” is the superpower i’ll never have. my brain seems to live independently of me even though it’s housed in my body. and it never ever shuts up. intrusive thoughts at night? check. self-critical thoughts 24/7? check. endless ideas that build upon each other and interrupt anything that i’m doing? check. all that in my voice and rich in images and sensations. it’s so difficult to focus on anything and be productive.

I found out years ago when I went under hypnosis. I am easily hypnotizable, it's how I quit smoking. Until they try to make me 'see' something, which pops me right out because I can't see anything, even when commanded to. "Visualize yourself on a peaceful beach..." ...I was stationed in Hawai'i so I know peaceful beaches, have a memorybank full of them and I can describe them to you. But ask me to visualize myself standing there and I'm in a dark closet with a list of features; "let's see there's sand....and some palm trees....oh and water gotta have water..." And yet I work in visual marketing and everything I do requires visual imagination. My fingers can make the things my mind is 'seeing', but I can't actually see it myself until I see it on screen.
