People who have unusual, or non-existent, inner voices

I think in terms of pictures or concepts. Your example becomes me picturing being stuck behind a dump truck, then me stopping at numerous stop signs, then I’d decide based on which one feels like it would be more painful.

Do people actually think in terms of complete sentences like you describe in this passage, or is there some nuance to the experience I’m not understanding? Thinking for me feels more like watching thoughts flow between black boxes representing some known factor than talking to a friend.

I do full sentences when I’m thinking about how to handle a conversation.

I also do that. It’s situational, I guess. [I’m learning more about myself by questions like yours, so please keep asking :)]
