Following the poll about thinking in 1/2/3rd person I just saw, do you think aloud? Is your thinking process just constant speaking aloud? I’m very curious, because I think a lot of you can relate, but I am very verbal when I’m comfortable, so I just speak all the time especially when I’m alone. People have given me stares because I tend to do this in public too, I just can’t help it lol. I only shut up in formal situations and during a shutdown, like a really awkward or stressful situation, when I don’t speak at all. It is natural to me, automatic really, but also something that helps me order my thoughts, as with ADHD they are really horribly messy. I wonder how others feel!
