>>14260736>It sounds like you're getting the result from a subconsious process and thinking that makes you better because you can't conciously go through the process?Its not only an automatic/subconscious process, I'm referring to consciously generating unsymbolized thoughts yes, you know just doing most of your thinking like that on the regular. I remember one moment years ago in middle school when the class was being noisy and our teacher yelled and screamed something like "I can't even hear myself think!" which made me wonder what the fuck she was talking about since no one "hears themselves think", at that time I never experienced thinking vocalized with an inner voice like that it was utterly unknown to me outside of literary/media convention, which I assumed was just that - convention and not a common inner experience for most people.
And I know the difference very clearly because I do also have these unsymbolized "subconscious/automatic" thoughts you are referring to at times that seem to come all at once (like my OP post), (including unwanted intrusive thoughts of that nature as I suffer from OCD) just like at times I may have other "subconscious/automatic" visual or auditory thoughts, as well as consciously thinking in that way sometimes. I once had total aphantasia (absolutely zero mental imagery in waking life just a blank darkness whenever I try to imagine anything visually) as a reaction to intrusive OCD thoughts though, but not anymore.
It's actually my experience with both total aphantasia AND zero inner speech that I draw upon here to support the existence of conscious unsymbolized thinking.
>and thinking that makes you betterNowhere did I say that. It just means you think differently but there are those who fell for the NPC meme who think that just because you don't use inner speech when self reflecting or introspecting, etc, that you are incapable of those things in the first place, which is retarded desu.
