Ok so I can produce a voice in my head, on purpose. But it's not prattling on endlessly. Does it do that for some people?

Yah ![bear-despair](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/111abd6c-7023-459c-b4f2-098a21965c70.png "emoji bear-despair"). I have control over it but I feel I would have less anxiety if I had less of an inner monologue.

I have to put in effort to silence it in order to fall asleep. Sometimes it shuts up on its own for a little bit, like when I'm really comfy, and also when I'm listening to someone else talk it will just repeat the words I'm hearing (which is why I can't think straight while listening to music with lyrics), but usually it's just running and running.

Yes. It’s infuriating and it’s part of why I’m listening to a podcast 90% of the time. The voice in my head is very active and needs to be drowned out

It usually is for me, unless I'm very focused on something external.

and when I'm home alone I just say out loud all the things my brain thinks ![dog-screm](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/2e3f5718-140e-4d92-a035-4dd86ac9b0fe.png "emoji dog-screm")
