It’s determined by a number of factors, such as environment, genetics, upbringing, what kind of experiences you’re exposed to as a child, injuries and trauma.Īs to whether it’s better to have a running monologue or silence up there - it all depends on what that little voice is saying. “It goes well beyond two types.” Internal dialogue, Reisinger explains, is established early in the formative years, when children begin to learn words and sentences as a mode of communication. “I think a lot of people have both,” says Curtis Reisinger, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist with Northwell Health on Long Island. A 2017 study, published in NeuroImage, found that even when thinking verbally, people tend to use visual images along with their inner speech. So, what’s the standard setting for our brains? It turns out most people fall on a spectrum, thinking both visually and verbally, according to Ivy League researchers.
“If I look in the mirror and think that I look bad, it’s not a little voice tells me that. “Situations like driving, I’ll talk to myself, but as for the kind of dialogue that’s back and forth, such as arguing with yourself or verbalizing internally, doesn’t really happen,” she says.
Morgan Stabinski, a 23-year-old in Pennsylvania tells The Post that she hears an internal voice when she’s replaying previous conversations or reading or writing. “If I’m concentrating on putting my thoughts into words, then they’ll manifest as words, but otherwise it’s abstract, like a cloud of feelings and thoughts with no definitive conscious words.” Having thoughts as words, she says is “not her default way of thinking.”
“If I talk to myself, it’s all out loud,” Clarke tells The Post. Shelby Clarke, a 26-year-old from Salt Lake City, for example, says she didn’t even know internal dialogue existed until she saw the tweet. Suddenly, the world was fixated on figuring out which type they were and why. Fun fact: some people have an internal narrative and some don'tĪs in, some people's thoughts are like sentences they "hear", and some people just have abstract non-verbal thoughts, and have to consciously verbalize themĪnd most people aren't aware of the other type of person
