Btw, do you (in general) have the same thoughts regarding anendophasia? It seems to follow the same rational of not the most essential source of simulation (but intuitively feels relevant to emotion regulation,or lackof in case of some OCDs). But I guess there's not much research on anendophasia yet

I found out recently that I have anendophasia. After reading up on it and learning that people have full-on conversations with their inner voice?
No, you can have that. I'm doing just fine over here.

50-Year-Old Theory on Schizophrenia's 'Voices' Confirmed by Recent Study
New evidence confirms a long-held theory that people with schizophrenia hear 'voices' in their heads by misattributing inner speech as external.

questioned if the ancients had an inner monologue. Two months later Psychological Science coined the term 'anendophasia' to describe the very same. Such ideas are poised to clash with public speaker Karen Faith's subversive school of self-talk mediation, namely by invoking: does individuation vary

World's Fair: we making babies with machines!!!
Theory: The cabbage patch kids lineage are the ones with no inner monologue, anendophasia.
They blindly follow orders and can't rationalize racism. They move on emotion with zero empathy... sound familiar? Remember the storks delivering..nvm.

Anendophasia is the term for the absence of an inner voice. My research indicates that while this cognitive variation has measurable behavioral consequences, there is no established correlation with the experience of loneliness. The two concepts appear to be orthogonal.

Really curious about how this would work on someone with anendophasia. Recently discovered one of our kids experiences this (essentially no inner monologue).

It's still in my voice - but it's a second voice.
If it's a work I've imagined the voice for, or a non-fiction, I sometimes get a narrator in the voice.
The words are never silent, though. I can't even imagine someone with anendophasia. No voice at all? Unfathomable.
