- I interviewed Kirsten Carlson, a PA Student at Francis Marion University, who is one of the few people that do not have an internal monologue. She does not hear herself think and people wanted answers.

New Video Alert! Here is a collection of things that I learned during the process of this research!
Imagine being able to lay in bed at night and not have cringe memories from 2006 keep you awake
She must shower mad efficient.
Daydreaming and talking to myself is like 90% of how I entertain myself.
Now I'm just going ponder "the shape of sentences" all day in my internal monologue
I was so amazed by this and decided to show my 15 - and 10 year old. Only to find out my 10 year old doesn't have an internal monologue! I was shocked, so i paused the video and started asking questions only to find out when we pressed play that his descriptions of how he thinks are almost identical to this lady!
things i took for granted in my life:
I’m so damn confused. I’m currently having like 4 different conversations in my head just trying to understand this.
Wow, thank you for this. As a teacher, we always say things like, “Think about what you are going to say before you start writing,” or, “Visualize the story as you read to help you remember the details.” I am starting to understand that some children might not be able to do that, no matter how many times I say it. I had no idea this might be impossible for some of my students.
I honestly believe understanding this is the key to understanding human connection. There’s probably millions of people who process their life in a different way than the two mentioned here. Which opens up a whole other can of worms. In a way it’s kind of oddly comforting and validating to know people are perceiving life so starkly different than I am, as it explains all the times where connection has been difficult or where there have been disagreements on the semantics of a situation and things just feel so complicated. Damn, wild.
someone: * asks a stupid question *
When I’m watching a movie I’m CONSTANTLY trying to predict the end in my head and doing character analysis, I can’t imagine just straight up watching a movie and being like “okay now this is what’s happening, and now this is what’s happening”
She is amazing and I think she did an awesome job of explaining what the lack of an internal language looks like/feels like for her!
so when she gets "some peace and quiet" .... she literally gets silence
So if a girl asks a guy what he’s thinking about and he says “nothing” he might literally mean nothing...whoa.
A person with no internal monologue turned out to be more interesting than I thought. She seems to be efficient and coordinated. I have an internal monologue/dialogue and a lot of the time is spent analyzing rather than performing. I am bilingual btw
If you don't have an internal monologue, you probably just live in the present moment which is probably really good in general. You get a lot accomplished.
and here we are reading all the comments in our head
maybe thats why Edward Cullen cant hear Bella Swan's thoughts coz she cant do internal monologue
Can we just say it: This is definitive proof of NPC's. They're literally just computer programs
