How do you address or call yourself by in your thoughts?

When I address myself in my thoughts, I call myself Qwert.

When I talk to myself I refer to myself as "you."

My thoughts are in the first person narrative.

[Hakaku]

Typically the first person singular, unless I'm chastising or motivating myself, then I typically distance my existence by using the second person or my name, well nickname.

I do not have inner monologues (linguistic / verbal thinking). There are many forms of non-verbal thinking (visual thinking, physical, aural, logical). Only 25% of the average population uses linguistic thinking exclusively (versus visual thinking) while 30% never uses it, remainder uses a combination.

 

This is a whole field of research in psychology, look it up.

When you read things, you hear a voice in your head reading it. You really never hear that voice when you're not reading?

 

This is astounding news to me! When thinking about what to write, I say it in my head first. Maybe it's because I've been taught to think before I speak when I was young?
