Half the replies to this are "some people don't deal with constant narrative?!" and the others are "wait you hear and actual VOICE in your head?!" and I think we're getting some miscommunication here.

Whenever stuff comes up about thoughts, I think sometimes people think the experiences are a lot more lucid than they are. I (personally, at least) don't *literally* hear a voice when I read or think. I can distinguish my imagination from literal sound. The same goes for "picturing" things - that's another thing I've seen posts confused about.

I'm not going to claim that people that say they don't have an internal voice or can't picture things are wrong or lying, but I do wonder if a lot who do react to these sorts of posts are misunderstanding them.

That said: how the heck does someone without an internal voice read text?? I can concede about an internal narrative being more emotional or visual or anything else but... what happens... when they read books... or posts online...
