It’s me responding to myself but the other me uses 2nd person persons and says things like “you are going to die” instead of saying I or we

there’s no internal monologue so i’m responding to nothing

I like to think of it as three different versions myself that kinda talk through me and when I talk out loud I’ll be responding to one usually. I haven’t had a group chat per se, but sometimes I’m just not in control of what the me’s say really but I can direct my thoughts so I chose that option.

no or if i do its out loud/mumbling to myself😭 & if im reading or writing i have to kinda whisper the words to myself too bc i cant say them in my head. its funny tho bc i always thought ppl hearing their voice in their head was just a thing done in movies so u would know what the character is thinking until a couple years ago when i learned abt it in my one psych class & was like WAIT IM THE WEIRD ONE???

OP 2w

why r u the way u r? idk🥲 our brains r just wired differently ig. my mom cant imagine things aphantasia ig its called like she closes her eyes & she cant conjure anything not even an apple its just darkness, but my brain is really good w that almost photographic memory but not exactly & i can replay sounds & songs in my head & rehear them as if theyre playing somewhere else but i just cant hear my own voice in my head
