You are watching ME, you silly twit!
That's your bathroom window!


...



Just don't ask why i am looking in your bathroom window ...

 

You could just said that, i have that voice when am reading some book i like too to visualise like some movie.

 

Thats really mind blowing, reading this thread has made me realise that my "inner voice" has no actual sound attached to it, i just silently think things.

It seems i'm even weirder than i always thought i was or just maybe i'm the only sane one here, lol.

 

Man is a dark being. He does not know where he comes from or where he is going,
he knows little about the world and least of all about himself.

Self-knowledge is the best and safest way to understand our fellow human beings.

For once, let your emotions speak out completely inside and listen to them and ask what they actually want!

My thinking voice tends to be a lot more aggressive than my normal speaking voice due to constantly silently screaming at myself.

@user1293435134 if you can recommend any drugs or alcohol that does silence the inner voice, please, please do. Or anyone else.

 

Hello @ Parasite-B, the best trick to turn off internal dialogue is the word STOP.
You can of course hit the table and say STOP out loud.

Repeat saying STOP every day and counter your inner voice with something, such as what kind of nonsense I am thinking again.

The brain works all the time. At night, when you are dreaming, it moves large blocks of files to bring order back into the chaos.
Drugs don't do anything, they concentrate on one thing, also known as mediation. Make more music ...!

Mine speaks a different language than my native language, sometimes its English. I can speak in 4 languages, so my inner voice has the luxury to choose between them

 

I'm bilingual, but my inner voice can only speak English, despite Spanish being my first language. I don't think I've ever "heard" myself think in Spanish ever since I started paying more attention to my thoughts. I suppose it's a side effect of bilingual schools indoctrina- I mean, emphasizing how important and useful English is as a second language. But they really hammered it into us; we had to speak English during recess or else teachers would take points off of our grades.

But I digress.

I don't think so, because animals don't do such nonsensical things as humans.
It would not be wise for your organic survival to make dubious choices.

With us it is as if the bad sits on the right shoulder and says:
Yes, do that and on the left side of the shoulder sits the good and says: Let it be.
We are constantly at odds with right and wrong.

 

Thank you @Ad Heesive for your very informal contribution. Here's something else about the brain waves:

Spoiler: The 4 brainwave types

The 4 brainwave types

Our brainpower is based on electricity. Each of the billions of individual cells "fires" or discharges electrically at a certain frequency. These electrical activities can be shown using the EEG. The cerebral electrical signals are recorded in the same way as a seismograph registers movements in the earth. This device is called an electroencephalograph or EEG.

The EEG does not measure the electrical signal of individual brain cells, but rather the cooperative or collective electrical pattern of the networks, the communities of many millions of cells that fire together. These collective energy impulses are called brain waves. Since the first EEG was developed in the 1920s, scientists have found that the brain produces 4 different types of brain waves. They are called beta, alpha, theta and delta waves. The following are the properties that have been researched in the individual brainwave areas:

Beta waves:
The fastest brain waves, they cover a frequency range from 14 cycles per second (= 14 Hertz, abbreviated to Hz) to well over 100 Hz. When we are in a normal, waking state, with our eyes open, the focus is on the outside world or with When dealing with specific problems, beta waves dominate (mostly between 14 and 40 Hz). The beta area is associated with:
a) attention, alertness, concentration, cognition (positive) b) Concern, fears, stress, inner restlessness, lack of a)

Alpha waves:
They span a frequency range of 8 to 13 Hz. They occur when we close our eyes and become more relaxed, passive, and unfocused. They produce a calm and comfortable feeling. Similar to after a long walk in the forest, an afternoon in the sauna or a relaxing holiday. When people are healthy and without any stress, they produce a lot of these alpha activities. If this alpha activity is missing, it can be the first signal of worry, stress, brain damage and illness. We're very creative in Alpha. Alpha is ideal for learning new information, facts, or data. In other words, material that should be available in waking consciousness.

Theta waves:
They cover a frequency range of 4 to 8 Hz. When quiet and
When relaxation turns into drowsiness, the slow, powerful theta waves occur. It is the "twilight state" between waking and sleeping and is often accompanied by imprecise, dream-like mental images. Often these images are associated with vivid memories, preferably with Childhood memories. Theta opens access to unconscious material, to daydreams, free associations, hidden knowledge and creative ideas.
It is a mysterious state and long had scientists Difficulty examining this condition at rest, as it is usually difficult to maintain this condition for an extended period as most people fall asleep in this condition.

The biofeedback researchers E. and A. Green found that theta waves are associated with a deep internalized state as well as a calming of the body, emotions and thoughts. They also discovered in a group that regularly trained theta states that vivid memories and long-forgotten childhood events were repeatedly reported. It was even more than a simple remembering, but rather a comprehensive experience, a reliving.

The biofeedback researcher Dr. Budzynski of the University of Colorado found that people in theta are "hyper-influenceable". They are also able to learn enormous amounts of material in a very short time. Theta be the state in which "superlearning" is located. In theta, people are extremely willing and able to learn new languages. Furthermore, suggestions for changes in their behavior and theirs are received
Attitudes go straight into the subconscious and are accepted as true as they are our mental and critical filters Bypassing defense mechanisms that would otherwise evaluate such sentences.

Delta waves:
They are in a frequency range of less than 4 Hz. When we sleep, the delta waves dominate, mainly in the deep sleep phase. There is growing evidence that people can remain conscious when in Delta.
When we are in the Delta, high levels of healing growth hormones are released; this state has a lot to do with healing and self-regeneration. It is the prerequisite for a refreshing and regenerating sleep. It is a deep dreamless sleep (non-REM sleep).

1. inner monologues come from the ego consciousness and have nothing to do with the innate instincts. It is true that one can be influenced or suppressed by the other (in both directions), but the presence of one does not exclude the other.
2. in situations where the survival of the organism is at stake, instinct takes over - no room for ego decisions. This MAY be an advantage in some situations, but it does not have to be. Instinct control can have quite negative consequences, both for the human species and for all others.
3. i have no idea if animals have internal monologues, but i am pretty sure that other species are not purely instinct-driven. I can't speak for wild animals, but my domesticated cats definitely have egos. Pretty complex egos... and sometimes they make pretty stupid decisions after much deliberation, which often makes me laugh.
