inner monoloque

Post Reply New Topic

I'm always having some sort of inner monologue with an accompanying song. If I'm alone or think I'm alone (:oops:) I talk to myself a lot. I often have imaginary dialogues in my head; they can help me solve problems or entertain. The words seem to be accompanied by a slideshow or movie... probably a normal thing.

I have to make a conscious effort to silence my inner monologue sometimes, after a busy day I sometimes can't stop my mind from chattering at night and can't sleep but I think this is fairly normal.

I like having an inner monologue but agree it make you too slow and methodic sometimes, especially in social situations.

I noticed a while ago that sometimes there's 2 types of conversation; one where you just show the other person how easy you are to talk to by talking about everyday/ordinary stuff - whatevers on you mind basically and the other is more deep, personal or complicated stuff.

I have to remind myself to do the ordinary, everyday one a lot of the time?

EDIT; also when I'm trying to sleep I've noticed when my mind becomes quiet/no inner monologue and you start to see pictures/images without thinking or forcing them to appear, that's when I drift off/fall asleep easily. So I try and concentrate on quieting the monologue and waiting for the pictures to come - does that sound a bit nuts?

this is what occupies most of my thought time. i hate when i get caught in a loop though - going over the same part again and again with different inflections and order so that i can figure out what i should (and shouldn't) say.
