Wait, I thought everyone had an internal monologue? This makes me confused and scared; I have to talk through most things I do in my head before I do it, but other people just do things?
Yeah some people don’t. It happens to me sometimes, when I’m not thinking in words, but I usually have an internal monologue. Some people also don’t have any visuals in their heads, like me. It’s called aphantasia
Okay so I literally process every waking thought through an internal monologue and I CANNOT understand people that don't think though a monologue, like HOW? Also I can remember smells and will occasionally have smell nostalgia if I catch a certain scent in the air
I have an internal/external monologue, being an english major and using language as a coping mechanism for trauma (knowing the words for my complicated feelings), I have an internal monologue but honestly I think best while talking. It forces my brain to be on one train of thought for once. In my head I can get pulled off track easily and forget what I was doing. Talking through anything kind of funnels the chaos through to something coherent.
What I find WILD is that speech is so second nature to most of us that we can just start talking and say something coherent without _actively_ considering the words you are about to say. Your brain thinks so fast that you may not even realize what you're saying until it's coming out of your mouth. You can also certainly think about what you want to say before you say it, but you also can just NOT do that and yet you still make words and sentences that make total sense. The human brain is still such a mystery!
“It’s called a trash can not a trash cannot” and yes I have an international monologue I think in story’s never about what I have to do I can also taste things at will
I don't usually have an internal monologue unless I'm thinking about what I'm gonna say to someone. I think in abstract concepts and sometimes it's really hard to put them into words so I have lots of trouble speaking. I also have aphantasia, I can't imagine pictures/shapes of things. I know how they look, I can describe them, but I can't see them. They're just concepts. I would say I can hear/taste/smell things to a certain degree but they're nowhere near close to my real life senses. I'm also mentally ill so sometimes there's just fog 😀
I figured it was because she's a Kiwi and raccoons are a North American animal and it would be very very bad if they ended up in New Zealand or Australia. Just like how I've never seen a kangaroo in person.
I'd really love to see that video about uni and mental illness (specifically undiagnosed ADHD) you mentioned at 11:34. Just as someone who has also struggled with that and all the complicated feelings over 'just scraping by' and the struggles studying like all the other students do
my mind is mostly just an empty black stream with one main internal monolog and several smaller quieter monolog with the occasional picture flashing on the screen but it's almost always just a black screen
I can talk in my head but like it doesn't happen naturally i have to consciously think the words for them to form, most of the time i think in feelings.
I definitely have an internal monologue and I don't understand how you couldn't. I talk to myself in my head constantly. The person I argue with the most is myself. I understand the hearing things in your head and sometimes taste things but not much.
I can't actually experience any sensations within my head, so I really just think in words. I constantly have thoughts running through my head but I can't 'hear' them. Same goes for imagining images- if someone tells me to imagine a beach or an apple or whatever, I can only do that by describing it. I can't actually see it, and if I do it's only for a quick flash and not very in-focus.
i do not, in fact, have an internal monologue. when i’m thinking, if i’m not TRYING to have an internal monologue, i think in abstract feelings and senses. but, like if i’m rehearsing what i’m gonna say or talking to myself or something, then that’s when i think in words. i CAN think in words, but i usually don’t unless i need to. plus like it takes like “translation.” feelings are really hard for me to put into words, since when i’m experiencing them they’re not words. so i have to take my blurry abstract thoughts and try to translate that into words. communication is difficult bcs of this. how can i communicate what i feel if i don’t know how to tell you what i feel?? it’s a struggle sometimes lmao
I’m highly interested in the uni video because I was unable to get through it. I failed miserably and tried to unalive myself multiple times because everything was too much. I had to leave, to my family’s disappointment, and now I’m trying (unsuccessfully) to find a job, but the good thing is that I’m a bit better in the sense that even though I still think of unaliving myself every day, I don’t act on those thoughts as often :)
I absolutely have an internal monologue that doesn't ever shut up (unless I make a conscious effort), but sometimes I do also think in feelings, at the same time that I am thinking in internal monologue-ness. That probably made no sense whatsoever, but here we are.
"One possum meme did sneak it's way in here" Wow, those opossums are sneaker than I thought, because an extra one snuck in. 7:28 & 11:20 Also, I do have an internal monologue, but I'm just as likely to make it an external monologue when I'm alone. However, I do think in images sometimes, mainly when I'm daydreaming, reading, or planning out a specific action, and I do taste things when I'm craving something. It kind of feels like it's on my tongue but also not because it feels clearly in my brain. That's the best I can describe it. Also for me it does go away without having to eat the thing. Sometimes it goes away when I eat something in the ballpark of the craving, like I'm craving cake but I eat ice cream, or when I start craving something else, like I was craving chocolate but now I'm craving a fruit salad, or it just goes away on it's own because the craving was just a passing emotion. Also, when I'm reading a good book, the world pretty much disappears and I'm living what's in the book. Like my brain is still picking up the words on the page, but the words are processed as images and sounds and tastes and smells and whatever is being described. At least until something takes me out of the book like a passage that's difficult to read or something happening outside of the book that demands my attention. It's to the point that I sometimes can't remember if the media I'm remembering was something I read or something I watched.
I also have an internal monologue about everything, and when I'm alone, this comes out verbally and sounds like I'm talking to myself. I feel your sister on the craving bit; I get cravings for sweets, freshly boiled pasta, and even specific songs, so I will end up tasting (or hearing) them perpetually until I go satisfy the craving by tasting (listening to) them for real. I wish I could adjust the volume of the music pieces in my head, but since they're almost always raging song cravings, they cannot be tamed without quenching them XD
I usually have an internal monologue but sometimes I don’t. I also have aphantasia, so I don’t have visuals/a mind’s eye. Along with aphantasia, I have synesthesia, so sorta similar to your sister, but not exactly. I can hear motion, people, words, letters, and sounds (etc) have colors, and letters have personalities. Oh and some sounds hurt (but I think that’s an autism thing)
I do have an internal monologue! Usually at least lol, sometimes it just ends up going into abstract ideas, before going back into monologue of words that I can't quite hear if that makes sense? If it doesn't make sense, same lmao I don't understand it either
My mind super powers is 1. the ability to make awesome music videos in my head 2. The ability to write 5 different stories in my head at once. My super power is probably ADHD. I am physically unable to put it towards school. I cannot and will not if I could.
I somehow have a constant internal monologue and think in feelings, so I always explain everything I do to myself unless I have no idea what I’m thinking about and my mind is blank. Also in my dreams I can’t tell the difference between people who in my mind have the same feeling, it’s confusing
I‘m confused by the meaning of internal monologue, I do talk in my head, but I can’t just hear me saying something. Anything that I hear "in my brain/thoughts" has to be pronounced (if that makes any sense) Idk what it’s like for other people Also, my problem is that I can’t exactly think while or even before speaking, so when someone talks to me and some kind of reply is required, my mind goes blank and I say whatever first comes. It sometimes leads to me saying stupid things that sound mean and/or wrong when I actually didn’t mean it that way 😭 Can’t talk in long sentences bc I forget how I started the sentence / what I wanted to say or I don’t know how to say smth bc there’s no time to think about that
On the internal dialogue and other brain stuff thing: I can do this thing where if I know someone’s voice, I can create basically a mental voice-clone of them. It can also temporarily change my internal monologue. If I’ve been watching a certain creator for example, especially for a long time, I just start thinking in their voice. I can also switch between voices at will. Heck, I’m thinking in Savannah’s voice right now! There are certain mannerisms that I’ll picture visually at times too, but I can’t visualize properly so the more automatic the voice is and the clearer it is the less the visual element comes up. This is partially just how I think and partially a learned skill from ✨maladaptive daydreaming.✨I have to hear what the people in my mental movies are saying since I can’t visualize very well. I didn’t know other ppl couldn’t do that, but apparently it’s not super common?? It’s a very useful skill as a writer, though- I’ve never struggled with realistic dialogue. Also the CRAVING THING, YES. SAME. And I feel things physically when they’re described. You mention brick, I can feel the texture on my fingertips. I’m very sensitive to discussion abt injuries for this reason. Every time I think I can handle listening to that one part of Devil Town v2 by cavetown I am wrong. 😅 Once again, though, being able to place myself into physical sensations at will (including those caused by emotions) is a great thing for writing. As triggering as it can be at times it’s so important to me and how I function on a day-to-day basis, I’d never change it.
I have Aphantasia, which means I can't "picture" anything in my head and all I have is an internal monologue. If I try to "picture" something in my head, all I get is words describing the thing, not an image.
I don't have a monologue like most of the time. Only when I'm very stressed that my brain decides I'm in a radio interview and then I do. Which is also the only time I talk to myself. But I think in feelings as well and I also think in pictures. Also just somewhere in my brain music is always playing but I can't adjust the volume it's just always there
In answer to the questions: 1) This was fun! 2) Frogs please. 3) I have lived alone so long that my internal monologue is largely external as well. (Including in public now - thank you covid lockdowns.) 4) Sometimes I can taste things when I crave them, but not always and not just when I want to.
Heyo !! Internal monologue thing: it kind of just switches between. When I have to DO something (something that I planned), I go through with words. If I'm just doing stuff, I kind of just go with instinct. Yknow ? Like, cleaning a room, I think in pictures and feelings. Does that make sense at all ?
I constantly have an internal monologue I can play songs in my mind but it's really hard to control unless I sing along outloud and without that it either has one part just loop in my brain forever or I forget that I was thinking about that song. I can't smell or taste things in my mind that'd be really cool though. Sometimes I can think with feelings but only if I'm meditating or reallllllllly focused and it's supperrrrr hard.
wait you cant taste in your head?? for me its like i have like a whole second set of senses in my head weird. and its like theyre just pure senses or something like i can taste in my mind but its not with a tongue i can hear in my mind but its not with an ear maybe that ties in to the thing where you cant control the volume in your head
Are those earrings uteruses (uteri?? I have no fucking clue) or frogs in suits? Either way I love them and I'm pretty sure they are now essential to my life lol
I don't have an internal monologue... I have an external monologue. I basically just say things to myself out loud when I'm alone but it may look a little weird to people on the streets I don't notice 😶
Omfg my brain works just like you sister's??? That's wild, I thought I was so weird for it too! But yeah, I mean, I do sometimes have what are actually more like dialogues in my head? It's generally me picturing/rehearsing a conversation, or sometimes thinking of how exactly I'm gonna word a social media post. But yeah. Wow.
The issue with music playing is that some will just play in my head, like earworms, but basically every day I've got at least one song and I have to listen to it otherwise it drives me nuts? Also it's so hard to describe feelings? Like… they're not words. They're not… they're almost impossible to put into words. The best way I found to explain them that works for myself only is to break them down into: a colour, a taste and a smell…
I have internal dialogues with myself and also yeah I can play music in my head too but then it will not leave my brain until I hear it in real life. Also I’m not following you on Twitter or Instagram because I don’t have Twitter or Instagram but I do still enjoy your content
I think you trash can and trash should make a video about your uni experience🦝✨‼️ I had to drop out because of my own disabilities but I’d love to hear how you managed to make it through!
i’m actually in the middle of writing about it now !! i definitely will do it sometime because i’d really like to share and hopefully help some people out 🥰
Okay, so- am I extremely paranoid around cis white Christian straight men? Absolutely. Has my paranoia ever been proven wrong? Maybe once or twice. So is it justified? Id say yes. In any case: I have a classmate, Nick, who is a devout Christian. Since the beginning of the college year he has sat next to me and/or my friends. I could smell his homophobia but honestly he just never did anything to show it except misgendered me (which to be honest isnr new since I don’t want to come out to every person I know over and over again so I just don’t correct people unless we hang out outside of class and I certainly don’t hang out with Nick). One time he tried to follow me from class to the cafeteria when I was going to breakfast, which I hated because I didn’t invite him, but luckily I saw my nonbinary soon-to-be Roommate Era and literally latched on to her. I am also very obviously not straight(nonbinary and ace), like I am the target demographic for rainbow capitalism and it takes everything in me not to buy from companies that do this because I know who they will donate to once they pocket my money. All my friends look like walking stereotypes as well. So I really don’t know why this man kept sitting near us. Anyhow, I got side tracked there. Fast forward to yesterday at CEE (statics) and I joke to another nonbinary person at our table about how we no longer have any rights because we have a uterus and we are queer and the only way to take more rights away would probably be classifying mental issues as a mark of the Devil or something. And this man says that he is GLAD that Roe V Wade got overturned. I’m stunned because what the fuck. And we are like “well, you don’t get your opinion to be the final call because you don’t have a uterus” and he has the AUDACITY to joke that “you are being transphobic because I’m a trans woman” and “how can you know that I can’t get pregnant” which I know he is not. And me and my nonbinary friend are LIVID at this point because guess what? You’re using our umbrella term my guy and it is not okay to use that as a joke argument. However, since we are in class we couldn’t really do/say much since it would’ve probably been a bad look. Anyway, since I am a petty bitch I am going to apologize to him today for assuming his gender and ask him if he meant ftm or mtf. I will refer to him as exclusively feminine gendered pronouns/words unless he tells me he is a man in which case I will ask him about his surgeon for his Adam’s apple and how he got HRT because I am currently thinking of going on it. I also plan to mention periods and if he says he doesn’t have them, tell him he should really get that checked out with his gynecologist because it isn’t healthy. Will I be the asshole if he is truly trans? Yeah. Will I apologize for my behavior and any harm it may have caused if that is the case? Absolutely. However, I don’t want him to use the name of my trans sisters who know this is an issue that only people with uteruses (trans men who are yet to have bottom surgery, nonbinary afabs, intersex people with vaginas, afabs in general, and cis women) face due to this foul theft of our bodily autonomy.
What.... Is... is that a thing? People who doesn't have an internal monologue?.... W... what?.... how... what?! I kinda can taste stuff in my mind sometimes, but it really rarely happen. Like, I had some very vivid dreams of me eating stuff and enjoying it like in real life, and sometimes I get a crave that I can't get (like, I once really wanted ice cream when I walked back home, and I still had a lot of walking before getting there) so I just imagine how much I want it and then kind of feel it?.... I don't know.
my nickname as a little kid was piranha i made people bleed i’m 13 now i still do it but i don’t make people bleed i used to go up to people and hug their leg all sweet them chomp
Dude I had the exact same experience with veggie Dino nuggets! I love them :) Also I get the feeling of "I am the best and the worst" like I'll switch between "I am god, true perfection, I'm beautiful" to "I am literal scum, I'm the worst, kill me now" at lightning speed Btw, my internal monologue is nearly constant. I sometimes narrate what I'm doing, and sometimes I do that in other people's voices. Also, I don't always, but sometimes I have to go through what I'm about to do like "okay I do this, then this, then this" over and over until I do it because usually if I don't I'll forget to do stuff. And every now and then I'll mentally switch into mandarin for a couple words because I studied it for a few years. Just have or mine or hobby will be in Chinese instead of english
im being called out ;-; im watching the video, playing a video game, and listening to music and it stell feels like i need to do more! im thinking!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
You've never seen a raccoon? Do they not exist in New Zealand or Britain? New Zealand I can understand, as an island nation in the southern hemisphere, but are there no raccoons in the British Isles?
Wait, I thought everyone had an internal monologue? This makes me confused and scared; I have to talk through most things I do in my head before I do it, but other people just do things?
Yeah some people don’t. It happens to me sometimes, when I’m not thinking in words, but I usually have an internal monologue.
Some people also don’t have any visuals in their heads, like me. It’s called aphantasia
Internal monologues are very common.
Three or more voices in your head 😎👉 that's a mental illnesses (us for real)
When I was a lil kid I had a dinosaur sandwich cutter and I loved it, I probably still have it somewhere.
OH I LOVE THAT!!
OMG I have one of those! I think I got it at Target a few years ago.
Okay so I literally process every waking thought through an internal monologue and I CANNOT understand people that don't think though a monologue, like HOW?
Also I can remember smells and will occasionally have smell nostalgia if I catch a certain scent in the air
I can smell hear and taste things in my mind aswell as having an internal monologue
I have an internal/external monologue, being an english major and using language as a coping mechanism for trauma (knowing the words for my complicated feelings), I have an internal monologue but honestly I think best while talking. It forces my brain to be on one train of thought for once. In my head I can get pulled off track easily and forget what I was doing. Talking through anything kind of funnels the chaos through to something coherent.
I have the exact same thing I feel, for me it’s a narrator constantly in my head and I have different voices in my head that are my different thoughts
Yes!! This is why I talk to myself almost constantly.
What I find WILD is that speech is so second nature to most of us that we can just start talking and say something coherent without _actively_ considering the words you are about to say.

I have an internal monologue, and also the craving thing is accurate
I 100% have an internal monologue going on everday. best thing about it: I'm German but my internal monologue is in English most of the time
SAME it’s mostly in English
I'm Croatian and it's in English lmao
Ah yes the three genders :
Male
Female
Raccoon
The way I cackled at every meme just proves my brain is broken
“It’s called a trash can not a trash cannot” and yes I have an international monologue I think in story’s never about what I have to do I can also taste things at will
I don't usually have an internal monologue unless I'm thinking about what I'm gonna say to someone.

raccoons are everywhere where i live i was genuinely surprised when you said youve never seen one
Same lmao
I figured it was because she's a Kiwi and raccoons are a North American animal and it would be very very bad if they ended up in New Zealand or Australia. Just like how I've never seen a kangaroo in person.
@@TheQuietTyper thats fair
this is the kind of content I signed up for, thank you kiwi 😌😌❤️
i’m glad i could provide 😌
i've just realised... raccoon memes are gen z's version of minion memes
I'd really love to see that video about uni and mental illness (specifically undiagnosed ADHD) you mentioned at 11:34. Just as someone who has also struggled with that and all the complicated feelings over 'just scraping by' and the struggles studying like all the other students do
Same here, i think that would be very interesting and helpful
my mind is mostly just an empty black stream with one main internal monolog and several smaller quieter monolog with the occasional picture flashing on the screen but it's almost always just a black screen
I can talk in my head but like it doesn't happen naturally i have to consciously think the words for them to form, most of the time i think in feelings.

i don’t have an internal monologue i just speak as i’m thinking and that’s why i say dumb shit
I have an international monologue and watch movies/shows in my head that I've seen before; music too. I didnt know that was unusual
I am the greatest person and worst person at the same time is the epitome of bpd brain.
I'm going to try and listen to stray kids now
How do people exist without an internal monologue?….. it must be so quiet in their head…. I’m jealous.

possum and raccoon memes are perfect and speak to my soul
I definitely have a internal monologue, thought everyone did
I have a constant internal monologue and I relate so hard to these memes. Especially the 5 types of media at once.... 😭💕
My mind super powers is

Heyo !! Internal monologue thing: it kind of just switches between. When I have to DO something (something that I planned), I go through with words. If I'm just doing stuff, I kind of just go with instinct. Yknow ? Like, cleaning a room, I think in pictures and feelings. Does that make sense at all ?
8:06 me playing games on my phone while im watching this
I constantly have an internal monologue I can play songs in my mind but it's really hard to control unless I sing along outloud and without that it either has one part just loop in my brain forever or I forget that I was thinking about that song. I can't smell or taste things in my mind that'd be really cool though. Sometimes I can think with feelings but only if I'm meditating or reallllllllly focused and it's supperrrrr hard.
the amount of opossum memes i have saved is honestly embarrassing
wait you cant taste in your head?? for me its like i have like a whole second set of senses in my head weird. and its like theyre just pure senses or something like i can taste in my mind but its not with a tongue i can hear in my mind but its not with an ear maybe that ties in to the thing where you cant control the volume in your head
I am now confused i genuinely thought everyone had an internal monologue
Are those earrings uteruses (uteri?? I have no fucking clue) or frogs in suits? Either way I love them and I'm pretty sure they are now essential to my life lol
I think they're cows????
I don't have an internal monologue... I have an external monologue. I basically just say things to myself out loud when I'm alone but it may look a little weird to people on the streets I don't notice 😶
I can’t get over that you have never seen a raccoon, they are everywhere here. Heck, people hurt them here and use certain dogs to hunt them.
that’s us (nz) with possums
I love racoons! I occasionally see them searching a dumpster for food/treasure. And I start talking to them like they're puppies or something... 🦝😍
Your sister definitely has superpowers, and they're some fucking cool superpowers
Your earrings!! omfg I love them so much!!
I have an internal monologue that I say out loud, an external monologue
Omfg my brain works just like you sister's??? That's wild, I thought I was so weird for it too!
But yeah, I mean, I do sometimes have what are actually more like dialogues in my head? It's generally me picturing/rehearsing a conversation, or sometimes thinking of how exactly I'm gonna word a social media post. But yeah. Wow.
The issue with music playing is that some will just play in my head, like earworms, but basically every day I've got at least one song and I have to listen to it otherwise it drives me nuts?
Also it's so hard to describe feelings? Like… they're not words. They're not… they're almost impossible to put into words. The best way I found to explain them that works for myself only is to break them down into: a colour, a taste and a smell…
I have internal dialogues with myself and also yeah I can play music in my head too but then it will not leave my brain until I hear it in real life. Also I’m not following you on Twitter or Instagram because I don’t have Twitter or Instagram but I do still enjoy your content
Next video: this is my best friend Groot
I need that possum shirt.
no internal monologue. head empty, so quiet.
I think you trash can and trash should make a video about your uni experience🦝✨‼️ I had to drop out because of my own disabilities but I’d love to hear how you managed to make it through!
i’m actually in the middle of writing about it now !! i definitely will do it sometime because i’d really like to share and hopefully help some people out 🥰
Okay, so- am I extremely paranoid around cis white Christian straight men? Absolutely. Has my paranoia ever been proven wrong? Maybe once or twice. So is it justified? Id say yes.
In any case: I have a classmate, Nick, who is a devout Christian. Since the beginning of the college year he has sat next to me and/or my friends. I could smell his homophobia but honestly he just never did anything to show it except misgendered me (which to be honest isnr new since I don’t want to come out to every person I know over and over again so I just don’t correct people unless we hang out outside of class and I certainly don’t hang out with Nick). One time he tried to follow me from class to the cafeteria when I was going to breakfast, which I hated because I didn’t invite him, but luckily I saw my nonbinary soon-to-be Roommate Era and literally latched on to her.
I am also very obviously not straight(nonbinary and ace), like I am the target demographic for rainbow capitalism and it takes everything in me not to buy from companies that do this because I know who they will donate to once they pocket my money. All my friends look like walking stereotypes as well. So I really don’t know why this man kept sitting near us.
Anyhow, I got side tracked there. Fast forward to yesterday at CEE (statics) and I joke to another nonbinary person at our table about how we no longer have any rights because we have a uterus and we are queer and the only way to take more rights away would probably be classifying mental issues as a mark of the Devil or something. And this man says that he is GLAD that Roe V Wade got overturned. I’m stunned because what the fuck. And we are like “well, you don’t get your opinion to be the final call because you don’t have a uterus” and he has the AUDACITY to joke that “you are being transphobic because I’m a trans woman” and “how can you know that I can’t get pregnant” which I know he is not. And me and my nonbinary friend are LIVID at this point because guess what? You’re using our umbrella term my guy and it is not okay to use that as a joke argument. However, since we are in class we couldn’t really do/say much since it would’ve probably been a bad look.
Anyway, since I am a petty bitch I am going to apologize to him today for assuming his gender and ask him if he meant ftm or mtf. I will refer to him as exclusively feminine gendered pronouns/words unless he tells me he is a man in which case I will ask him about his surgeon for his Adam’s apple and how he got HRT because I am currently thinking of going on it. I also plan to mention periods and if he says he doesn’t have them, tell him he should really get that checked out with his gynecologist because it isn’t healthy.
Will I be the asshole if he is truly trans? Yeah. Will I apologize for my behavior and any harm it may have caused if that is the case? Absolutely.
However, I don’t want him to use the name of my trans sisters who know this is an issue that only people with uteruses (trans men who are yet to have bottom surgery, nonbinary afabs, intersex people with vaginas, afabs in general, and cis women) face due to this foul theft of our bodily autonomy.
What....
Is... is that a thing? People who doesn't have an internal monologue?.... W... what?.... how... what?!
I kinda can taste stuff in my mind sometimes, but it really rarely happen. Like, I had some very vivid dreams of me eating stuff and enjoying it like in real life, and sometimes I get a crave that I can't get (like, I once really wanted ice cream when I walked back home, and I still had a lot of walking before getting there) so I just imagine how much I want it and then kind of feel it?.... I don't know.
I think in audio clips and internal monologue. Also images.
When I was a kid I literally prayed to God to turn me into a cat 😔
my nickname as a little kid was piranha i made people bleed i’m 13 now i still do it but i don’t make people bleed i used to go up to people and hug their leg all sweet them chomp
i have an internal monologue
i talk a lot of my internal monologue lol, not very internal
I get bitey too... tho I've never bitten anyone except using discord bots XD
Dude I had the exact same experience with veggie Dino nuggets! I love them :)
Also I get the feeling of "I am the best and the worst" like I'll switch between "I am god, true perfection, I'm beautiful" to "I am literal scum, I'm the worst, kill me now" at lightning speed
Btw, my internal monologue is nearly constant. I sometimes narrate what I'm doing, and sometimes I do that in other people's voices. Also, I don't always, but sometimes I have to go through what I'm about to do like "okay I do this, then this, then this" over and over until I do it because usually if I don't I'll forget to do stuff. And every now and then I'll mentally switch into mandarin for a couple words because I studied it for a few years. Just have or mine or hobby will be in Chinese instead of english
I love this so much!

I have an internal one woman show and it can get incredibly annoying.

Both ways you pronounced raccoon was right, although I personally am more used to hearing it the first way.
im being called out ;-;
im watching the video, playing a video game, and listening to music and it stell feels like i need to do more!
im thinking!!!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
returned... feeling even more called out now than i was a month ago...
why are your friends all named after animals first cat now sparrow
RaccoonSS !!!
You've never seen a raccoon? Do they not exist in New Zealand or Britain? New Zealand I can understand, as an island nation in the southern hemisphere, but are there no raccoons in the British Isles?
I feel like people who cannot hear their own voice in their head are weird.
Dinosaur memes!!!
I'm very confused about your sister not having an internal monologue. How would that even work?
but i trash want to
