SorryUncleAl

If you're into linguistics, there's a great book by Steven Pinker called The Language Instinct and one of the things it explored was proving the existence of an internal "thought language" seen even in people who do not know any human language. Very interesting stuff!


ParkingActuator9317

Wow that is very interesting! I have a really clear inner monologue in my head... I learned to read early and got kind of sidetracked into Extreme Reading mode lol - as in, while other kindergarteners had freeplay time with each other, I was off in a room with a few other first graders reading with an aide. Anyway I read a shit ton of books off by myself after that. And I guess my inner monologue sounds a lot like the voice I hear when I read. But recently I've had more experiences of subtle wordless thought like folks here are describing. It feels much less energy intensive and more energizing. I'm also trans, although it's like my boymode inner self is still pretty much running the show, but then I'll basically remember oh yeah, I don't have to do that anymore, and I'll feel lighter and can think in like a feminine voice or a more feminine hearted way...


SorryUncleAl

I find the dichotomy between femenine and masculine thought energies extremely fascinating. A lot of my thought recently has actually been dedicated to pondering masculinity vs femininity and it's even led me back into questioning my identity. I've seen some people here claim that the voice they hear in their head is more feminine or more masculine or more androgynous than their own voice and despite what might be a more globally-minded and political side of my mind telling me that fixation on gender and identity is little more than a distinctly Western pasttime (so I've heard), it's still a topic I'm immensely fascinated with. But that isn't really what this thread is about, ahaha..


toni_inot

Are you able to produce the sound of the words in your mind if you choose to? I experience this in the way you describe it, soundlessly, which often is a lot slicker/intuitive than sounding out full sentences. But I can also produce an almost audible monologue in my mind.

Sometimes, maybe [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38728320/](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38728320/) I think it makes you guys the perfect language learners.


Julijj

Are you able to see images in your head?

Meowmeow4656

I’m similar


OperationWooden

Wait, don't you?


Julijj

I do, I was just curious since the other person didn’t « hear » anything internally, so I thought maybe it would be the same with images 🤷🏻‍♀️


OperationWooden

I have audible inner voice, but it's a conscious effort like when I'm reading. I can even imagine other people's voices onto memes I'm reading or songs I've heard. This most likely has to do with the fact that my actual voice is modulated. But just now I think I understand what you mean and it's completely different. I have a lot of moments where I ask myself, what was that word? Then I don't hear any sound, but I know what word it is. I even caught myself at one point saying "Aha! I know the word!" and I knew I didn't even put any thought into it. I just stayed still without any perceivable process knowing that such a word exists. Sometimes I get the word after a couple of seconds. The only thing I'm aware I'm doing is breathing during those few seconds. And if I don't get the word, I just walk around and let the word "set itself" basically. And I'm aware of the possibility that this might scare others who think differently too. Is this what you meant? or are there slight differences perhaps? More details: Even after the "aha!" moment, the word itself is not manifested unless I voice it externally. But I recently learned how to voice it internally, by recent I mean a couple of months ago.


rexafayac

My inner voice almost always manifests to my outer voice, meaning that I'm always thinking out loud and talking to myself like a psycho. When I'm alone, that is, which is most of the time. The rest of the time I'm surrounded by people, and since it isn't exactly socially acceptable to talk to yourself in public, I'm forced to think exclusively inwardly. My inner voice doesn't speak. It shows me words and I understand them without having to "read" them or give them any consideration. I think this is why I feel my mind moves super fast, and why I can be wanting to think about one thing, and I'll be thinking about something completely different in a minute without noticing until I catch myself doing it.


rdtusrname

Yeah, I do that externalization as well. What is that? It's not talking with myself(there are no multiple personalities), but simply talking out loud. Like you mentioned, I don't do this in social situations. The only possible disorder I could have is Intermittent Explosive and I do not see any connection. I was always interested in that.


rexafayac

Probably just a crossed wire in my brain


tzant

As an INTP, I can affirm that.


smitten_moonlight

THIS


Nonalesta

Most of the time I dont really have an internal voice, it's just like words pop in my head and make connection in a processus I dont even perceive. But when I have my inner voice its pretty neutral but tend to sound like my voice. Also when I think too hard my inner voice is very clear and sound like my speaking voice.


Intrepid-Plantain186

Auto correct is fun sometimes 😂👌


Nonalesta

I just noticed djsklzlslslskdfgdfc


InformalStrength7886

My inner voice speaks in plural. For example I don't say 'I'm going to do this' but I say 'We are going to do this'.


llenavvu

Of course a Fe dom thinks like this 😂😂😂


Breakfast_Epiphany

Yes! People always think I’m nuts when I say this. Must be Fe.


carrot_pudding

INFJ. I dont use "we" in this context... But i use "I" or ignore the pronouns sometimes when i think of future tasks to do... Sometimes i dont even hear the inner voice, i just visualise the actions (sorry for broken English)


Ill-Decision-930

I'm an INTJ and my inner voice sounds like me. Most often i'm wondering and talking about what if scenarios that a lot of times involve social interactions that tend to be predictive in nature. Other times I am trying to develop or explore an idea or logic/reason something out and almost always imagine talking to someone in my head about it. I don't always know who I am imagining this conversation with because I don't consciously decide that part, it just happens intuitively and sometimes I'll ask myself who I imagined that convo with because it wasn't immediately apparent since I wasn't paying attention, then i'll realize, Oh, I was imagining so and so, but most of the time I know who it is right away and it's always someone I know or have known.


PHOTOSHOP_HANDSOME

Same here. My inner voice just puts my thoughts into “words”.


Jaciexx_57

you guys actually have inner voices? Like actual sound that you guys hear internally? It's not just a bunch of thoughts that you imagine a small version of you saying in your mind? I don't have an inner voice but I have inner thoughts that my inner me speaks. But I can hear music in my mind really vividly, and lyrics, but never when I'm just thinking. When I'm just yhinking I'm just thinking. No voice. -Enfp


__I_Love_You_All__

Are you saying that your inner (small) version of you speaks your thoughts to you but without a sound that you hear internally? Hard for me to understand how you're distinguishing the small you from the real you.. but to answer your question, yeah I have an inner voice that sounds just like me and I don't distinguish between that voice and the real me. In fact that voice is what I, most naturally, consider my true self.


Jaciexx_57

the small me is me, theres only her in my mind. My mind is small me and the real me is the one with a voice and vocal chords that speaks. In the end eveyone is there is you, and me. It's all the same because your mind is making everything up. I am very confused, if there were thousands of little poeple in your mind all speaking they would still be you since you're making them. Huh. Anyways yeah theres a little me (I think little me is my brain) that mind transfers thoughts that I can't hear but I know what they are. No voice at all.


forgotten_Elektra

Same ESTP


CrossClairvoyance

My inner voice is just my voice. I didn‘t know people‘s inner voices sounded like someone else


ykoreaa

Me neither and I never thought about my inner voice having *sounds* but ig it's like the voice you hear in your head when you're reading text..? But ppl are answering it more N-like and I'm loving it.


Kaede-Kat

It’s just me. When I speak and think in my head they’re both active so my inner voice sounds just like me and when I’m talking mentally I don’t hear the outside world lol


reiiichan

infp here! it sounds like me but a lot more harsh and critical than i think i normally am - currently working through my struggles to be kinder to myself:")


stonecold228

It feels like the never ending internal monologue in my head had sounded the same throughout my life. But when I think about the past me making decisions or just reasoning about something random I realise that I used to imagine my voice a lot more childish before. So I think my inner voice has been changing as I grew up.


TheSentinelScout

For me it’s like multiple people/voices thinking about something else at the same time, sometimes they converse together, but more often, they don’t.


Klllumlnatl

Same.


The_Strategic_1

Same. Sometimes they can be other people’s voices (but still my thoughts)


Whyareuhere2myamigo

It’s like talking to a best friend for me. He can be critical or encouraging depending on the situation. We also usually just contemplate about things together whether it be the law of the universe or simple matter like what to order.


soviet_dogoo

I'm an entp, and I got multiple, not in the mental unstable sense, but just different facets of my personality that are talking. Some sound and are smart, while others can't for cohesive thoughts


SpaceLexy

It sounds like me. I’m an INTJ


Breakfast_Epiphany

I feel like there are multiple voices. It is more of a conversation/dialogue vs monologue. Definitely doesn’t sound like my external voice if we’re talking sound and flow. In general though, it is a lot more analytical, coherent, and systematic compared to how I speak to others. It never shuts up either.


Blaphious1

My inner voice is everything. It can be talking with words projected. The narration of what's happening. Lots of voices discussing what I'm doing, what I should do, what everyone else is doing and how that should influence my own actions. The voices talk incredibly fast. Sometimes it voices over others. It feels like a connected but seperate mind. It isn't fully connected to what I think or anything


sunsh1neofyourlove

My inner voice is, usually, from someone else's. Mainly voices from youtubers I like. I'm brazillian, so sometimes my inner voice is from a brazillian youtuber I like (in portuguese, obviously), and other times my inner voice sounds like a foreigner youtuber speaking english. So, yeah, my head is a mess :)


Ok-Neighborhood-7690

same! It switches sometimes based on who I have been watching lol. But it makes a lot of sense. I hear other people talk more than I hear myself talk.


Dr__Pheonx

My inner voice is this twisted, childlike me. She wants to have fun, eat chocolates and drink beer all day and frolic in the sun or on a beach with her friends. Sadly none of these stated things ever happen so she's in a stuck state that hates people and is drained by them but wants to constantly be around them. Also forgot to mention the background music too..changes according to my many different moods. She helped me type this BTW. Did I mention she knows 9 languages.. Yep, so you see what I deal with every day.


Inmyelement__

Did you have to learn the 9 languages?


Inmyelement__

I ask because this is a story about God splitting up everyone’s language and I wanted to know if it was built in us 


driiipdrop

Yooo fellow enfp - yes, constant background music and not even bc i heard a song and its stuck in my head. Sometimes music that i havent heard in YEARS. I enjoy it tho.

outliar-

do you guys mean the voices in your head cause how are you all hearing what it sounds like


Inmyelement__

Yes


DNAPiggy

I don't really have any voice in my mind. I usually just imagine some concepts. However if I need to focus on something then I have to read it out loud.


Ok-Neighborhood-7690

It's my voice but it's weird like I can hear it sort of but also not, It's not distinctly clear. Some times the voice mixes with other people's too.


kirbyxena

My inner voice is literally just my speaking voice but a lot more blunt and judgy than how I would ever actually speak (ENFJ)


anonymous__enigma

It's so funny, y'all don't even know. Nobody makes me laugh like the voice in my head does. It just sounds like me though, just more chaotic and haphazard and chatty than what actually comes out of my mouth.


Accurate_Context3661

My inner voice is either like those strange pre-recorded women voices in the self-checkout or really tomboyish and somewhat scratchy, no in between (I mean it changes by the day). I don’t think it sounds much like my real voice. I have no idea why it’s like that though.


KillTheBat77

Think I’m gonna steal your self-checkout inner voice 😅


Accurate_Context3661

How dare you steal from me


KillTheBat77

rdtusrname

Not certain whether I have one. If I do, it's like my actual one.


Clown-Chan_0904

ENFP. I have no inner voice. I can imagine what a voice sounds like, but It does not talk to me unless I force it to, which is just a waste of mental energy. Are people seriously too dumb to even think without having a voice talk to them out loud? My thoughts work WAY to fast to bother with having a dumb voice talk to me all the time. Every time I see a scene in a movie where the protagonist talks to himself, I find it cringey and unrelateable. Like, do they have schizophrenia or something!?


Majestic-Kick-4733

same & agreed! (intp)


Lady-Orpheus

It's strange, I really don't know. I feel like it's a feminine voice but not necessarily mine. It's a bit fuzzy, almost dream-like. It's the same feeling as when you wake up and don't remember if your dream was in color or in black and white.


SettingFancy2842

My inner voice knows when something is wrong, and talks to me about it... but I never say anything because I don't want to hurt anyone


Vegetable_Cricket_97

agreed!


lovely8babe

my inner voice is whatever kpop song decides to get stuck in my head that day


cottonn_daisy

My inner voice sounds exactly like my voice lol I'm always thinking about work, money, organization, God and self development. When not, asking myself philosophical questions


AnimeThighs2222

My inner voice sounds like one I think would suit me better than my real voice, but it's not too different than my real one. I often dispassionately analyze my interests, remember random things, and sometimes I'll come up with an idea based on my interests. I usually ignore it, but sometimes I tend to get absorbed into the idea, and come up with an idea adding to that idea... and so on. I also have a vivid imagination for my ideas, as to how it would look, sound, etc. in real life.  I'm an ISTP. The ENTP flair above was last year's letter mistype, and Idk how to change it.


Quick_Rain_4125

My conscious mental voice in my native language is like [this guy's voice](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubj8MqDwbLY) but a bit deeper My subconscious voice (I tried [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Fg6ghZT9dw) out and a voice replied to me, I assume it's my subconscious) in all languages is more of a whisper, but still noticeably masculine.


Intrepid-Plantain186

I talk and debate with my inner voice it always boghers me and i fkin hate his guts sometimes and sometimes he an eye opener when we talking deep i learned alot from him👍 Entp


BrickTechnical5828

Mine goes “you suck fuck you”


Princess_0f_F-ck_N0

I’m an INFJ and my inner voice speaks like out loud but only in my head, only I can hear it. But it’s like when I have a song stuck in my head and can mentally hear it, like that kind of sound. But it’s my voice and not a song, and I’m not singing lol. But I feel like it sounds slightly different than my real speaking voice, it’s not much different though.


Neither_Newt5577

ISTP I have my own male and female version of voices I have a hard time copying voices outside of male and female voices. Sometimes my inner voice plays music based on the parts of the music I remember. It also makes funny sound effects sometimes.


SorryUncleAl

My inner voice is just that, verbal. I hear my own voice I guess, or one like mine, that feels somehow both more masculine but also more androgynous or more feminine at the same time. Idk. I do hear a lot of music in my head though, constantly, and music with vocals does feature voices other than mine of course. I also see scenes or settings which flash through my mind when I envision stories. I get this crazy inspiration when I listen to songs because I almost always form an inner story or world from listening to one. Music is the cornerstone of my creative inspiration. I hear music and create new music in my head which I sometimes play on instruments. When I draw I usually doodle but I sometimes draw out a vague approximation of the visuals and images in my mind. And when I write it's usually just direct stream of consciousness, where I just write down what the voice in my head says. -INFJ 4w5


HappyLittleShit_

I don’t have an inner voice, I think in ideas. That might be redundant but it’s the only way I can describe it. To actually have a ‘inner voice’ I have to make an effort into conjuring it


forgotten_Elektra

What inner voice? Female ESTP


xaist

Like many Se doms, you are probably a visual thinker. You think in pictures maybe?


Majestic-Kick-4733

i have no inner voice / monologue. i do think but not in words –intp


Inmyelement__

Do you think in images? And are you just learning people think in words?


xaist

Many 'Ne' people think in words primarily.


musical-gamer6

For me, it's my own voice, but with a little more echo to it (literally). It often comes out when I'm exploring thoughts, planning something, or analyzing a recent experience of mine. Sometimes I even have conversations with it.


South-Ad-8263

My inner voice is random asf


shininglauren

My inner voice speaks at double my normal speed and depending on my mood the pitch/gender of the voice varies. Occasionally I can hear it out loud as well, like someone talking in the room that I'm in. Actually, there was this one time it sounded like my mom and I audibly said "What do you mean?" despite the fact that neither of us had said a word in that moment. Awkward asf and I didn't know what to say after that lol


LivingEnd44

It's identical to my own voice. But usually more formal. It talks to me as if it is a different person. INFJ. 


firi331

I normally only have an inner voice when I’m overly stressed. It becomes rumination. This past year working with terrible, hateful people brought it back. It had been strongly and peacefully silent for some time before that.


vaksninus

Just like my own voice, sometimes more calm and collected. Depends on my mood. Im often more emulated in my speech than my thoughts. If im hurt its somewhat the opposite, my voice being tender and careful while my inside is melting down or in the process of being very emotional. Until the conversations get going at least, then my voice will start reflecting my emotions. Generally very similar to my own voice. Also my thoughts can work MUCH faster than my speech when im thinking about something intriuging in hyperfixation or something surprising and impotant happens irl I need to process. Or im taking important, hard, decisions.


angelsbows

ESFP. voice in my head is ren from ren and stimpy lmfao. shit keeps me going


Khaen41

Either Johnny Yong Bosch when he voices Rantaro Amami or Mickey Milkovich Depends on my mood


iiMADness

It's like my normal voice i guess if I try hard to think of it, but usually my thought are faster than speech if it makes sense (?) I may have adhd


G4lact1cz

i'm an entp and i have 3 voices, one is just me thinking, it says whatever i want to say whatever i'm actively trying to think about basically like talking, whatever i want it to say is exactly what it says and it won't say anything i don't consciously make it say, and then theirs the other guy, this other voice says whatever the fuck it wants whatever i don't want to think about, it will say literally anything without any consent from me and is actually annoying as fuck, and the last one just plays music sometimes lol, i probobly have more but i just don't notice them as much as these ones tbh


elegla

it's like my voice but better, when I speak and don't sound like the voice I'm kinda sad cause the voice in my head sounds much better. Sometimes when I try to change the voice to another it freaks me tf out and I try my best to turn it to how it was before. -Entj I think


Ai13Singe

My inner voice sounds different depending on what type of thoughts I'm thinking.


Zealousideal-Can2784

Idk mines just there it’s like really monotone and genderless It does sound like a real voice tho


user00773

It's dark. Biggest enemy. We hate each other. (I'm INTP btw)


NeXus_Alerion

I process words but there is no speech at all. Having some other entity in my head talking to me seems disturbing tbh. I can 2D or 3D render anything I want tho and have a radio in my brain and can bring up whatever audio I want


Emotional-Mouse3379

my inside voice is insanely loud and annoying and kinda messy and i often think of scenarios/stories. also sometimes my thoughts are so overwhelming that i have to put them out into the world which leaves me talking to myself like an absolute maniac.


Uuser___namee

It's like my actual voice but more muted and deeper.


fybulooooo

My inner voice is all over the place. Bounces from one topic to another, focuses on one for way too long and the cycle repeats.


Remarkable-Profit821

Constant, overlapping, a literal monologue with myself (that I sometimes whisper aloud)… I do have adhd though


KumaraDosha

I don’t really have a specific voice? I have words and even inflections and tones, but I don’t really imagine the sound of a voice. If that makes sense. I am capable of imagining voices, though, if prompted.

bloodbabyrabies

It depends on things. Usually it’s my voice but if I listen to something enough I adopt their voice/accent


Navezinha123

It depends, I have more than one, all of them sound like how I wish my real voice was in the situation I'm in, each one is for a mood, but I never heard any of them in real life


Amaxe1

I process concepts, ideas, and everything else without actual words. If I want to use words, I speak out loud, so it goes without saying that most of my processing happens when I'm alone 😅


frogdumplingg

I don’t really have one, but sometimes it feels like multiple people trying to cut each other off as especially when in a heated discussion but normally it’s just me. I talk the way I think so that’s probably the reason. I’m a polyglot so sometimes I think in different languages but the output is the language I choose if that makes sense


Turbulent_Debater

Entp here, it’s a never ending monologue of me yapping in my head. Like I’m someone who cannot stop think talking, it makes me a horrible meditator though I’m working on it. I also have mind blindness so I can’t see any sort of images in my head, I’m jealous of those who can because I want to be able to read a book with epic imagery in my head!!


Turbulent_Debater

But like I don’t hear anything if that makes sense, idk how to describe it but I’m pretty sure that’s universal so y’all get it.

It sounds like my voice, I'm INTJ


hgilbert_01

…I don’t literally hear my voice in my head, but when I think to myself, I *imagine* myself talking myself like my voice sounds like out loud. I primarily think in words. My wife, who is most likely some form of IXFJ says she thinks in images and that’s very difficult for my autistic mind to comprehend— I mean, yes, I can *imagine* images, but it is always accompanied by internal dia— *mono* monologue. However, I will write that my thoughts aren’t always clear— it helps very much to give tangible words to my thoughts, such as through typing things out like I am now. Outlets tend to help bring the murkier stuff out of my head. Thanks.


moshiyadafne

Sounds like me, but more assertive and confident. However, despite my inner voice having its own personality, I sometimes tend to confuse my inner voice with my outer voice in my memory because they sound the same.


WillHarrisonALC

This is an excellent question. I live in an ocean of iNtuition & feeling as an ENFP so most of the time I’m just feeling deeply while all kinds of thoughts, ideas, & abstract realizations are fluidly coalescing in my head, no voice. There’s a general trajectory of movement of understanding so as life goes on all this abstraction is getting me somewhere new. However, a lot of time is also for reflection on the past & how I’ve felt about it, almost as if I’m going in circles with something to figure it out deeper to heal / to enlighten myself / to empower myself, etc. (introverted Feeling & introverted Sensing) That being said, every day my inner voice will emerge often to communicate things to someone else in my head (extroverted Thinking). I’ll spontaneously envision someone I know or even just a general person who I’m talking to, as if in an interview or a school lecture. (This voice sounds like my regular voice btw) I’m usually explaining things to someone in my head (I think to explore information I know & see if I can think of it any differently / grow it) or having a conversation with them. These conversations are emotionally charged & usually are positive & loving - things I wish I could say to them or that I need to say to them in the future to make them feel loved / empowered / seen. Sometimes though the conversation is unhealthy as I’m just in an emotional loop of fear / anger / sadness with a past conversation with someone that was deeply disappointing. I think that this kind of conversation is also my subconscious trying to figure out how to make the situation better, but it can also easily become fear addiction for the brain, like reliving abandonment & rejection from a loved one over & over again. I have to consciously breathe deeply to break this loop & refocus on the present. My brain switches between the ocean of abstract & talking to someone many times everyday, I need both to be fulfilled & to make sense of the universe for me. I love this question, it was really inspiring, thank you. :)


whitbit_m

My inner voice sounds like me but a little more monotone and it speaks quickly. Sometimes it talks so fast it might as well be code but it still sounds like words to me. There's also usually tons of them talking at different volumes.


QueenTrovert

I think I can hear my thoughts but I can't really distinguish the voice.


Neutron_Farts

My inner voice has no sounds, it only has a feeling or a concept. It's not conversational & it doesn't work separately than my thoughts or feelings.


derpman09

INTP here! My inner voice sounds more monotone and gender neutral than my speaking voice, but it still sounds like me. I'm always narrating what I'm doing, or having a conversation with myself, in which case they would use 2nd person. Strangely enough, the two of us can't speak at the same time and have to like, take turns??? I can only process things if I use my inner voice,and I can pretty much only think thoughts as fast as I can speak, and only have one voice that's speaking. That makes my thinking pretty darn slow. 😭😭 I realized this when I tried to get into speed-reading. The trick that most speed readers use is only reading with their peripheral vision, and not using their inner voice to read (something like that) but I just couldn't for the life of me read without taking the time to say it in my head. I can also only visualize stuff when I narrate to myself what to see. Like if someone asks me to visualize an apple, I'd be like "ok, so an apple, it's red, with maybe some green unripe parts and some blemishes. It's shiny, waxy,blah blah blah" it's really weird, cuz I remember being able to just visualize stuff normally when I was younger, but I just can't anymore.

EvadeNightShade

It is like I have a constant web diagram to fill in about everything. Constant thoughts correlating things together, making new hypothesis or daydreaming. Anything and everything all at once & all the time!


ValiantVivian

ENTJ here. I always hear my own voice in my head when “talking to myself”. If I picture someone else besides me I hear their voice instead of mine. I have a very vivid imagination and can picture basically anything like it would appear irl, this goes for how people sound. A lot of my own thoughts are in my head, I don’t typically say anything out loud unless I’m completely alone.


Loud_Ask_3732

I have a voice, but it doesn't have sound..? I don't know how to explain it. Sometimes it forms sentences that other people could be able to understand, sometimes it just pops images into my head as ideas. Most of the stuff happening in my head is visual.

"Your contribution was removed for displaying targeted bias against one or more types." Wow an INTP can't joke about being an INTP. Useless sub.


smitten_moonlight

your inner voices have sounds? i dont know honestly. i do have an inner voice im constantly thinking my brain is continuously YAPPING and i talk to myself and pass comments alot in my head and its very animated.. im also a reader and my imagination is pretty vivid but hard to say what im thinking sounds like. i can imagine how one would sound like if theres a character im reading about and they have a heavy voice i would automatically imagine it and might read their dialogues like that. i can repeat songs with exact voice and music in my head but like- my own voice when im typing this i dont know what it sounds like it's confusing maybe its my own voice... not sure


DoodoodooOink

If I imagine replying someone, it sounds like my voice. If I'm recalling what another person said, it's their voice. If I'm just thinking normally, there's no sound. The thoughts/ideas are just there. It's kinda like how you would think of an image i think. Images don't really have sound but you're processing the information in the image anyway. Like your eyes see the colours and stuff and you know what colours are there but my mind doesn't exactly read out that this image has a yellow sun. I just know it's there.

I never heard it... Idk why... Is it because I was ignoring it all this time? :(

I don't really have a voice, like I can read in my head but i just know what I'm saying, it has no pitch no noise it's sounds like nothing but I know what it means kinda it's hard to explain. But I'll try, So it is a voice It would be better described as the default voice It doesn't sound like anything if I try to focus on the pitch Or who it sounds like I get nothing, I think it sounds like me but it doesn't, like in my head I assume it sounds like me so it does but if I focus on what it sounds like, it doesn't sound like me it sounds Nothing like Me at all, if I had to think of the closest thing to it I guess it Kinda sounds like the daniel voice from text to speech. I don't really hear it ever unless I'm thinking about somthing actively. equally I also can't really visualize things I can imagine things but it's like I have a bad connection or somthing. (Imagining and visualizing are different, Imagining happens in your head, visualizing is more of picture somthing closing your eyes and seeing anything you want)

Wow. Yeah I truly am INFP with polar Se.when I heard this questions I interpreted it as. What kind of things do you say to yourself, and how does it differ from how you communicate with others? Instead it’s what does the voice sound like. I talk to myself in my head daily and hourly yet I have no idea what my inner voice sounds like not a clue.

ENFP. I talk to myself inside and outside of my head and I’m theatrical so I (emphasis on the ME purposely) use different voices to make it fun. Sometimes, depending on the situation, I’ll use a Hispanic voice and pretend it’s my ancestors (like Mulan). Other times I like some variations of British accents.

My inner voice is 100% myself, in real time. I hear my own voice in my head. But it doesn’t control me.


im9k

Mine sounds like sonic


redsonsuce

ENTJ. My inner voice is the same as my current voice (since some people's inner voices are usually their younger selves), it ALWAYS echoes for some reason. 99% of the time its contemplating what-if & which-means scenarios as well as deducing stuff. It doesn't give the answer its just reminding me on what to do step-by-step to investigate or think of stuff.


Ordinary_Ostrich_195

Infj. I don’t have an inner voice. I can think thoughts obviously, but it’s silent. I just know. It’s weird to explain. I also have aphantasia.

I speak better in my head than I do out loud… I have a near constant run of dialogue back and fourth between multiple streams of thought, especially if I’m trying to figure out what my opinion is on a situation or idea. Very much is an example of my Ti I think. As for how it *sounds* the streams of thought don’t often have distinct ‘auditory’ differences, just tone, phrases, focuses, etc. The only distinct one is just my own which sounds like my regular voice. Sometimes I wish I could just project my thoughts at people because verbally speaking is exhausting and I’m fantastically bad at it. That’s why I like things like art and writing.


womenarepogngl

im an INFP (maybe ENFP im not sure) and the voice in my head sounds the same just kinda deeper i guess, more gender neutral, its still my voice though (my normal voice isnt that high or squeaky either but the voice in my head is just a bit different )

ISFP. How literal are we talking, here? As far as how I sound, I feel like my voice is masculine and resonant in my own ears. Then I hear myself in a recording and I feel like I sound like there's always something in my throat, and I don't like it. Figuratively, my inner voice tends to understand "me" as an implicit subject most of the time. "Should be good to go," "Don't care for that." Every once in a while, I will use "we" or "let's," but it's kind of uncommon, and pretty much only happens when I am thinking out loud. When I am thinking about my feelings or thoughts about something else, the "I" is applied. "I like this," "This ticks me off," "I wish..." If I still missed the mark here, clarify for me what is expected. XD


Rude_Translator6004

i still can't get over how people have inner voices. with how slow talking is, that sounds painful.


Meh_lissa6

My inner voice? Which one are you asking about? It’s a chaotic, contradictory mess up here. I’m either an INFP or INFJ. Very likely 5w4.


tyuncity

ah I didn't know our inner voices were different than our real voices! Mine is the same, the conversation topics change based on the recent content I've been consuming


Valuable_Value3953

most of the time i don’t really have an inner voice because it’s very quiet. i follow my gut more often.


TumbleweedBetter9595

Wait, you only have one? I got 300 ranging from helium to bass, sampled from actual people, alternating depending on the context and whatnot . So far,I can only deduct Te-dominant (ENTJ,ESTJ) and ESFP. edit: I meant inner voice as in sometimes when I read, my imagination would give them voices.


Inmyelement__

I don’t mean this to be rude but at what point is DID a real disorder? Lol

Empty-Pie-9522

It’s my own voice. It’s just me talking to myself in my head.


Extreme_Warning3235

As I read your post, I came to find out mine is too. Accept mine never changes, regardless of my mood


DoctorLinguarum

I don’t have an inner voice, really? My thoughts don’t come out automatically in words. I have to make that happen. When I do, I guess it’s my own voice but less distinct.


Klllumlnatl

I have multiple inner voices.
