I think in plans for the most part. What I'm going to do next and how. No inner dialog though. I don't even have a real identity, I just think about what I should say and how I should come off. Lol. If there is a real me, it's in the eye of the observer. Sometimes when thinking I'll hear single words, like "sleep". These are more like my list of commands for myself to move around and do next. But yeah, I'm basically one big empty scheme. Just endless manipulation of people around me. If someone asks anything about what I'm thinking I make something up and never give the same answer twice. It's pretty hard to blend in. So exhausting pretending to be normal tbh. Is there a real you, or is it just me? If I find out the rest of you are only pretending to be normal too, I'm going to flip.

I've seen closed eye visuals, but only on drugs. (don't do drugs) Yeah, visualizing things with the mind's eye creates an image in the mind. I never thought it might vary from person to person and that some might not be able to mentally visualize stuff. It's probably connected, but I also tend to have super vivid dreams, daydream a lot, and can visualize things great. Thinking about it, it's easy to see why some people might go insane. If someone has a constant stream of mental images and no filter between what's real and what's not. That would be terrifying. <cite>KogaSteelfang posted [p:973691068] in Do you hav...
