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.

    I love how we are all here talking about how we all think and perceive differently and you decided it was important to tell me that the way I process trauma isn’t real. You can go ahead and fuck right off.

      Nice reply man, super polite. You process trauma in whatever way best suits you, but… You’re making the claim that is essentially “if you’re bothered by traumatic memories, you can just stop thinking about them” which is reductive and simplistic as fuck, and above all very much objectively wrong.

      People who are bothered by images from traumatic memories can’t just choose to “picture a teapot instead if you need to get away from it.” That’s. Not. How. Trauma. Works.

        Hey, I don’t have to be polite to people who try to invalidate my life experience. Don’t tell me how I work.

        Feel free to tell me how YOU work, but telling me that “it doesn’t work that way” when it obviously does for me doesn’t make your experience somehow universal.

        Also, this is the Internet, if you can’t handle some people not being polite then I have bad news for you…
