An interesting conversation should be had here
.... but of course instagram is part of the Meta world and won't let you see posts and comments if you're not a member.

I spent most of my life thinking that hearing your own voice in your head while reading was how everyone experienced the world.

It seems most of the internet also thinks this way. However the internet is just a cross section of humanity and mostly full of people questioning if they are neurodivergent (seriously until a couple years ago, I never heard this word)

In 2012, a stint on lithium took away all of my own voice in my head and gave me scary voices yelling at me. Every time I tried to think walking around like a zombie I was trying to find my voice. My mom didn't understand and neither did the doctors. My mom says she pictures things in her head, I only do that when sleeping.

The lithium literally made me forget myself. When I stopped, everything came back to "normal". Even the meds I'm on now dims my voice in my head a bit

Some people say you can train yourself out of the voice while speedreading, I read at a decent pace but nowhere near speedreading so I wonder.

I want to research this, not today but some day when I get rid of the fuzziness in my brain from the slight cold I am experiencing. Of course today my brain is doing nothing so it focuses on the esoteric things few people think about. Hmm.
