What kind of inner monologue do you have and how do you occupy it?

[KickFive]

Hey y'all,

Initially I was just going to ask what the vibe in there was like for you, but that runs the risk of being kinda touchy and banal, or if there was anyone here who falls into the group that doesn't even have one (they're a thing), but then I realized... Most of the time my inner monologue is just music. I think songs throughout most of my day when I'm not being directly introspective, planning, or reading. What about you?

 

[hoping to lose hope]

I play music every moment I am awake but I have a inner voice :3 and sometimes another with me who I chat to but I think in language I would say.

We all get along pretty good, well, except the one.

My one is nice and says life can turn out better if I listen to them.
I trust them I guess because everyone else meanie in life (＞﹏＜)

Okay so initially i saw this thread and admittedly thought "Yes !!! This is gonna be a fucking blast !!"
and then i thought "You don't get the monkey for free kid."
and then i thought "Why the fuck are you still in my head Jerry ?"
and then i thought "It would be glorious to kill god"
and then i thought "I really need to get laid."
and then i thought "cheeseburger"
and then i thought "come back, i love you."
and then i thought "i'll be here again."

and so on

Take each stream and multiply it.

The cello shuts it off for a while.
Weed does the same but, i am at the point that i hate smoking weed.
After my experiences with medication, i adopted a no drug policy, pharma/dope.
The poems i write are the voices in my head
smashed together like playdough
then deciphered like runes
and finally ruined by personality.

which one, depends.

My inner monologue: its funny i should come across this thread. As i was thinking of this with myself at work the other night.

I talk with myself in my head all day. My inner voice is very brutal,honest, a smart ass and sometimes helpful sometimes not.

Cool responses folks, thanks.

That's either Split or Glass, the sequel. Fun movies.

My head-it's not a monologue at all

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

My inner voice is extremely verbally abusive to me I wish someone would kill him.

You're saying you're one of the folks who generally doesn't have one? If so I find that super interesting.

Sorry to hear That, Dr. Something that helps me deal with negative thoughts is simply reminding myself that I have them. Even just an "Ah, I'm being mean to myself again." can help. Have you tried any kind of Mindfulness strategies like that?

Usually when I do that I start beating myself up for getting mad at myself again and it kind of just loops into a cycle like that. Mindfulness hasn't been as helpful for me as whatever distracting my mind entirely can be called...

NO we, are multiple different persons /and voices/ in this head. :)

 

[Disappointered]

Sometimes it's music and the rest of the time it's me pretending there are other people who aren't me and I'm one of them so that we can make fun of me for being so dysfunctional and useless. It's like by pretending I'm someone who can put me down I can temporarily feel like less of a loser.

 

[BRAINWORMS]

It's a lot of speaking in second-person and I refer to myself as "us" or "we" a lot.

I've got a segmented inner monologue, which is pretty common in people with c-PTSD. I think it's usually called self parenting. I've got the standard naive, scared, impulsive inner self, the mature, logical "parent" inner self that rationalises things, and the "bad" inner monologue that berates me for making mistakes and things like that. It would probably seem weird if people heard the internal conversation with myself, but it works, and I find it kind of strange that people think multiple internal voices is the same as multiple personalities. It's not even particularly unusual.

What DOES worry me is the random, sometimes vaguely related words and phrases that come from nowhere. But any time I've gotten to talk to a professional about that (brief visits to A&E pretty much) they've said that's nothing to worry about, so I guess it's just annoying.
