Verbal thinking

Deleted User

I discovered this fascinating video earlier today. Basically a chap realising most people have an internal monologue and he doesn’t, and then launching into a philosophical discussion with himself about the nature of consciousness and identity. I love this stuff.

Anyway, it got me thinking. I’ve said before on here that i don’t think in words, but in complete atomic, non-verbal, non-visual thoughts that I need to deliberately convert into words if I want to share them.

And what I’m now wondering is if everyone’s brain works this way but my neurodivergence just makes me aware of an earlier stage of thinking that most people don’t notice. I’m aware of a part of thinking that in most people is part of the unconscious.

Does anyone else experience this?

  • This is very interesting.

    I believe I do both but I've now become so self conscious of my thoughts that I don't think I'm thinking naturally!

    I couldn't watch much of the video - my aural processing is quite poor.

    Food for thought.

    Thank you for getting the cogs of my very tired brain moving again.

    He speaks quite fast. I find this a problem with some youtube videos. If you watch the clip in actual youtube (that being on a browser or app, rather than an embedded thumbnail as above), you can click on the settings wheel (top right of the video screen ususlly) and select "Speed". You can change it. I find around 0.75-0.8 still sounds a natural enough pace without it being r e a l l y     r e  a  l  l  y       s      l      o    w.
