What Does the Voice in Your Head Sound Like?
OK, so I'm not saying that I hear voices. I;m wondering about the voice you give your thoughts. Or am I the only one who hears her thoughts? I'm finding that the more I read children's books (which I do pretty enthusiastically) the more my thoughts sound sing-songy, like a children's book. I'm thinking with way too much expression. Do I sound totally crazy? Please, tell me I'm not.

You're not crazy. My thoughts aren't sing-songy but I have a running narrative in my head that never stops. Even if I get up to pee in the middle of the night my mind is like, "It's 3:13am and suddenly I have to pee, what's up with that? Everyone else sleeps the night through and here I am chipper yet stumbling around in the dark, I wonder if anyone else is doing that." Talk about feeling crazy.
I talk to myself so much that I tend to continue the conversation verbally and Travis (or others) are left totally confused. I just think I have completely explained myself, but alas, it was only in my head. By the way, I am much more direct and firm in my head.
Ha ha! I do that too Collette. I feel like I spend my life wondering if I already said these things to someone, or just imagined doing so in my mind. And Amy, I'm not exactly sure, but I think the voice in my mind sounds just like my regular voice!
I totally have conversations in my head all day long! I find, I try to make them sound smart and practical because I am sing-songy all day with my kids and want to talk to someone more grown-up! All I have is myself- now that is really frightening!
You guys make me laugh!
No sing-songy voice in my head, just my plain ole voice-slightly lower in tone. I too have a streaming conversation going on especially when things(people) are bugging me and I don't say anything because it would be too rude. I travel 2 hours when I'm working and I talk to myself and too the radio personalities, as if they can hear me. I often find my self ending a question to someone, " did I just ask you a question or was that in my head". A little goofy I know but not crazy.
