Your inner voice, internal dialogue...

[LongLostSock]

Does it tell you to set things on fire too? 🤣

But really, does your inner voice sound like you? Mine has a Welsh accent for some reason, I even dream in a Welsh accent. But I've never lived in Wales or even been there much. I don't understand why my inner thoughts are Welsh 😅

Mine is really posh - and given I have a Bristol-bound accent I find it really weird 😂 my inner monologue is very well-to-do.

Mine doesn’t really tell me to so many awful things. But it never, ever shuts up. Even after I’m done thinking about something I’ll just carry on having a conversation with my inner monologue and I can’t ever switch it off.

Its exhausting tbh and I wish I was someone who didn’t have one 😂

Mine’s not really a voice with an accent, more just my thoughts, really, so sounds like me, I suppose!

Oh I'm like this. I can literally have an argument with my inner voice because it won't fucking stop when I've had enough. It's like a perpetual 2 year old banging on about Bing.

I think I need an inner voice ti keep me in check... do you think I can develop one?

Mine sounds like my voice . It never shuts up .

Mine's singing "There are worse things I could do" from the film Grease, on repeat, this week...no idea why

I don't have one :( everyone else in the house does but they all also have ADHD or AuDHD

Mine often has a Welsh accent too...very bizarre 🤣 but most of the time it's just a 'Posher' version of me.

I don't have one, it's just imagery/video in my head, no voices talking to me.

I don't have one. I have thoughts but I don't hear them outloud.

Mine's American, go figure!
I wish she'd bugger off sometimes with all her 'Awesome!' and 'You guys'

Seriously though, my head is a jumble of thoughts, voices, music and sometimes it drives me mad. Conversely I think I'd miss it if it suddenly went silent, I'd just like a little space from time to time.

Mine has an Australian accent. I don't know why, I'm not Australian, I've never been there and I don't know anyone who is Australian. 😆

Mines mean and loud.

Mine has my own accent. I can’t imagine life without it and it’s weird to think some people don’t have it. It must be quite peaceful!

Mine takes on voices of people I know, usually when thinking over particular problems, but I think it's just me thr rest of the time.

Though currently it's single a couple of lines of an ABBA song, over and over, which might send me mad.

I'm intrigued by these inner voices with different accents!

My inner voice is definitely my own , but it's incredibly critical and over thinks everything.

I love that other people’s sing too! Mine has Total Eclipse Of The Heart on loop right now.

I'm usually on an ear worm loop, currently "can't read my, can't read my, no you can't read my poker face..." I haven't heard the song in years. And this is interspersed with random barely conscious thoughts that I would struggle to voice if i were asked, but it's me.

Mine makes it's own remixes as well. It's currently doing a Taylor Swift 'My Boy Only Breaks his Favourite Toys'/that awful Ed Sheeran and Elton John Xmas song mash up 😫

Mine sounds like me, 100% of the time I am awake is there.... it does not bother me.
The one that can get rather shitty at times is my to-do-list brain side. It is like a damn loop, going on all the time in the background. Sometimes I am all happy sitting down with my coffee, and I get this panic: oh no, I did not send that email, turn that thingy on/ off, blah blah blah. That sounds helpful, but at times my loop brain forgets that I have already done it..... and it makes me anxious without any need!

Mine doesn't have an accent. It's hard to describe, but it conveys words in a non sound-based way. A bit like when you read words (i.e. without sounding them out in your head). I do also get songs playing in my head a lot too though, which obviously are sounding out.

Mine sounds like me because she is me. Unless I am reliving an interaction with others, then i have my voice and thier voices. To the poster above, what do you mean about reading? When I read, my inner voice absolutely sounds out the words. As I type this she is saying the words in my head.

For the poster thay said they only think in images, what happens when you are thinking of a conversation yoy need to have later in the day? Of one you already had?

Are people confusing 'thoughts' with 'voices'? 😂

Mine is a cross between an internal monologue and an internal jukebox, and I really wish I could switch it off and have a rest! It's been very loud lately. Although, I am quite sound-sensitive in reality too, and that's been much worse lately, so I wonder if that's connected with me perceiving things in my head to be louder too? Hmmm...
