   I just read that there is a large percentage of people who do not have an inner monologue, and I am now baffled.

     @sandwich are we talking people with no medical reason for such thing?

     There's aphasia, which can be described as not being able to "imagine" things. Which is a wild thing to me.

     I can't imagine how it would be to not be able to imagine.

     @BeAware It seems like it’s much more common than I thought! Apparently, some 30-50% of people have no “inner voice,” and some have neither an inner voice nor “inner visualization.”

     I can’t imagine having a quiet mind lol. My ADHD refuses to allow it.

     @sandwich wow. That is wild to me as well.

     Mine does not stop. I'm lucky I sleep the few hours that I do...😳
