Dont know if it’s an ADHD thing, but I have that. What’s weird is I eventually realized that the soundtrack is talking/reflecting back to me about what’s going on in my life.
Ad a non-adhd dude, i talk in my head, i have monologues in my head and i “simulate” conversations in my head too, i do the same thing while i write and when i walk in silence i just start a big monologue or i look around commenting things in my head.
I think i can stop that but i always start to talk again in my head so idk, i should see if i get silence at a certain point
Non-adhder here. Not constant conversations, no. And not unbidden.
I do have conversations in my head, and sometimes they provide answers that weren’t readily available to my conscious mind. But I often have “silence” in my mind. When I’m tired enough, that’s “no noticeable activity” or “just the steps required to do whatever the immediate activity.” Other times it’s a song or a “movie” or plans for what I’m doing later.
I have no silence unless intoxicated or in flow state on something that dose not need words. Best I can manage normally is idle narration and planning. If one voice in my head is not enough to process a concept, simulate a conversation, or ruin my day, more NPCs get added to the thought.
Some people around me seemed to start to understand better when I told them this asshole in my head starts talking the moment I open my eyes and he doesn’t shut the fuck up! I get no peace! It’s really how it feels.
Aren’t most non-adhders also having constant conversations in their heads
mine isn’t conversation, it’s music. if there isn’t audible music my brain makes some, usually with a beat pretty in line with my pulse.

It’s estimated that about 50-75% of people don’t have an internal monologue at all.
That explains the state of the society I guess
Not necessarily
It was a tongue in cheek joke.
because they just talk to themselves out loud, right?

God I wanna be like you, or at least have my brain be a little more like your brain.
Apoarently they can decide to, like, just not have it right now. Like some damn wizards.
The fuck?
Are they? I would really like to know.
Anecdotally in my own life, no.
