People without an inner voice have poorer verbal memory
humanities.ku.dk
The vast majority of people have an ongoing conversation with themselves, an inner voice, that plays an important role in their daily lives. But between 5-10 per cent of the population do not have the same experience of an inner voice, and they find it more difficult to perform certain verbal memory tasks, new research shows.

      It’s not. Especially if you suffer from anxiety or depression.

      Imagine constantly having a (your) voice reminding you of all of the shit that stresses you out.

        I meant more relaxing without a voice. I’m used to groaning and sighing myself to sleep.

        yeah I have to listen to space documentaries and such to keep my mind quiet so I can sleep. Astrum and SEA keep me sane.
