Having an internal monologue (thinking in words/sentences) is actually a minority thing.

Wait. Is it? I see pictures if I focus, but it's mostly like a conversation with someone who lives inside my head.

Is it really? Would be super interested in reading up on that (not doubting, just very curious)

X to doubt, full of self-important wieners with pitiful imaginations, that are jealous my "red" is "redder" than their "red":

I cant actually picture red; but its a lack of articulateness and a vocal minority rarely-intersecting that drown out my lack of understanding or doubt.

indiscernible from crying, they "cannot also picture red, by a way less than you can empathize with"

nobody actually sees what they think. the wall is blank.

those drifters are usually debris or thiccer blood cell components

You can't picture red and the wall is blank? Sounds like you have aphantasia.

When I'm tired I sometimes get an inner monologue that just keeps going, but it's nonsensical, like a Markov chain. I have to actively stop it. Annoying.

Have you tried voicing it out loud and recording yourself?

I get this too! I have to be really tired, lying down and calm. I always think of it as listening to the noise of my subconscious. Mine isn't continuous, more I can pick up nonsensical phrases every 10-20 seconds. I've never heard of anyone else having this!

I'm often in robotic mode but as soon as I "think", it's internal monologue (either in french or in english and, maybe maybe maybe, sometimes in code!?).

But I don't have that "stock market ticker tape" thinggamagic: never happened to me to visualize words like that.
