What's mildly infuriating to me is that not everyone has that little voice.
And honestly that fact scares the shit out of me
Yeah, no kidding this was my family's discussion at New Year's Eve. And my Aunt could not understand what we meant. We gave her a book and everything and told her "Are you reading the book, or is the voice in your head reading the book to you?" To what she responded, "There is no voice here reading anything, I don't understand anything you are telling me"
Which, I cannot simply perceive how it works for her, does information simply enter like the kid absorbing knowledge?
I've got another fact that is a bit different When you imagine a Bar in your mind, you always imagine the same one.
Sometimes I have an inner voice, sometimes I don't.
My theory is that I view words as shapes, and then I piece them together to form information.
Oh god I didnt know this wasnt the norm
I think it is the norm, but it isn't everyone.
