Do you think animals have thoughts? Are they capable of hearing that little voice that we humans have in our heads? - eviltoast

    My cognition is mixed. Verbal inner monologue is going most of the time when I’m just thinking about routine stuff. But if I’m “in the flow zone” working on a project or playing music or something like that, the little “voice in my head” vanishes completely and that’s when I’m the happiest. I suspect most people can relate to those modes.

      That’s relatable to me at least. And often music is playing my my head in the place of my inner voice.

      Agreed, now that I think about it. It’s definitely better to be in the zone. If I’m monologuing I think it might signify that I’m having trouble with something, but I don’t necessarily enjoy being that aware of my own self.
