Inner life

[mashedupbanana]

My partner doesn't seem to have an inner life of musing about things, thinking things through, worrying about stuff. Or if he does maybe he doesn't know how to express it. I feel like my head is full of these kinds of thoughts (too full most of the time).
If I ask him how he's feeling, he just says he's 'fine'.
Are some people just wired that way?
We have been together 13 years. Tick along fine and it's always been like this, not a sudden change.

Some people are, I think. DH is calm, unworried about stuff and doesn't appear to stress much.

I, on the other hand, have a constant monologue in my head of Oh crap I need to put the bin out I mustn't forget that I've got a telephone appointment tomorrow at 2pm so I ought to make sure I'm up in good time so that I can get to the supermarket, pick up a prescription, nip to Primark, oh - don't forget to buy a new notebook and the dog needs a vet's appointment - crikey, she's looking old now, isn't she, that facelift and lip fillers have done her no good at all - yes, Janet I know that I need to send that report to Jonathon today, passive aggressive cow, she's not my boss, why does she always do that, ok look there's Sue with her new grandson just sent a text, bins. Don't forget the bins. Maybe text DH..

All day and night.

I'm sure there was a thread about this some time ago.

Yes, there are people like this. Not me, my inner life is very busy

Mine is like @madmadmadammim only worrying....

Me too. I often feel like he must be hiding his inner thoughts but maybe he just genuinely doesn't have them.

Is it an inner life if you verbalize it? Seems contradictory.

This jumble of half thoughts does not constitute an 'inner life'.
Seems more like ADD to me (from own experience) or a brain in need of a few mindfulness exercises.
