There&#x27;s kind of two layers to how I think - if I&#x27;m actively thinking about something (such as writing this post, or imagine a specific event&#x2F;occurrence), then it is a very defined internal monologue, and is essentially how I would speak about the topic.<p>If its a more passive thing (such as pondering something whilst actually working on something else), or my language &#x27;skills&#x27; for lack of a better word are doing something else (e.g. listening to music with lyrics), then the thoughts are more abstract ideas and images, and the monologue only returns when I come to some sort of conclusion. It&#x27;s interesting to note that this happens more frequently when I&#x27;ve been using languages other than English.<p>Brains definitely are weird.
