Bonus question, if you wanna talk about it: What is that voice like? Does it have your voice? Your personality? Can you have a dialogue with it? Are there certain situations when it's especially active?
Because – I don't have that at all. On my own, I think more abstractly, or visually.
One exception is that I sonetimes "pre-formulate" a sentence or a question I'm about to ask in an important context.

@hosford42 @svenpilz @blinry Me too, (along with your other reply https://techhub.social/@hosford42/111636971097003021) which is funny because I’d thought before that your posts and thinking look familiar to me :)

@svenpilz @blinry This is the closest to my experience of any of the comments I've read. (Also a programmer, btw.)

@blinry guess I have two modes and one thinks using language. While reading the question, my inner voice asked if I do have an inner voice. But the voice has no sound, more like abstract speech linked to mental processes. And it only speaks in situations that could have been a discussion with someone. Like an internal feedback loop that challenges my conclusion. The other mode has no inner monologue, like when thinking about abstract things or programming.

@blinry but sometimes the inner voice kicks in, like when endlessly looking for a bug and finally finding it, saying something like "yeah, of course".

@abnv @blinry That sounds tiring. Is it a good singer, at least? 😅

@blinry I have two voices in my head, both of them have my own voice. One of them talks sometimes, mostly to offer insights, counter arguments, advice, or solutions. Other one just keep singing all the time non-stop. Thankfully the songs change every few days.

@hosford42 @svenpilz @blinry I have both. Default thought mode for complex concepts is voiceless, but often to be specific my inner voice is active. Kinda reading out my thoughts to myself, y'know?
For me, working as a product owner and sometimes UX-er, things are most easily understood visually; data flows, user flows, project and development plans >> all make the most sense visually represented.

@Brendanjones @svenpilz @blinry Something else I commented about in another sub-thread is, there seems to be a connection between "voiceless voice" and abstract quasi-visual thinking. I noticed several other people saying they had both, but nobody yet has said they have one without the other. Curious where you two stand on that.
