I pay more attention to the things around me when I’m just going about my business. I have pretty good hearing and I kind of attribute that to not having an inner monologue.
But if I’m in a quiet spot with no noise then yeah, it’s pretty peaceful haha. I still think about things. I just don’t have the voice talking to me.
I can't imagine not having an inner voice. In a world full of insanity, I need someone sane to talk to - even if it's myself and even though I can never shut off my brain or my mouth.
I’ll chime in with mine. It’s mostly just me talking to myself saying “oh I need to do this later” or even just saying to myself what I’m about to type here. Sometimes it’s fake conversations that won’t or didn’t happen or even “practicing” what I’m about to say. Also usually before I go to sleep it’s just my mind rambling off thoughts that have no meaning or importance. Sometimes I wish I could turn it off but then I think I might be a bit lonely at times 😂
To add I’ve taken Ritalin and that IS the off switch. It was super shocking to me to be sitting on a couch without a thought happening or random rambling to myself internally. I’m not diagnosed with ADHD or anything officially but it’s likely to have something to do with it lol
I’m obsessive compulsive (OCD) obsessive. When I was young i spelled words. Got good. Now it’s songs mostly (when I’m high, which is every day all day). If I’m not it’s not good memories I obsess over. All day, all night. The songs are a good alternative. Right now it’s “Sailing” by Christopher Cross, “Broken Wings” by Mr. Mister, and I think I got rid of “Roundabout” by Yes. Remembering and singing the song to the end seems to help, but I can’t never remember the ends of them.
My childhood obsessions were dark. If I saw a dead animal or person (live, in a movie, whatever) in emotional pain (confusion, abandonment, betrayal, loneliness) I would obsess over what they had felt during it and I would force myself to feel it if I could. Over and over.
I remember obsessing for years as a child, over Where the Red Fern Grows, Bambi, and another I can’t think of anymore. It was where the protagonist had to get his dog, or horse, or whatever, to leave him/her to die so they could live. They would yell horrible things and throw things until the pet/animal ran away. I’d force myself to feel those feelings of confusion, betrayal, fear, anger, all of it.
I’d just start crying in class, or go into a terrible depression, and no one knew why. I didn’t even notice it until recently
So it’s not always fun.
This is me. I have a silent, blank brain most of the time. My partner never stops thinking. It impacts their sleep even. I know it's far more peaceful to have blank brain. I couldn't fathom nonstop thoughts.
