I'm literally 100% sure i've lost like 15% of my iq and crativity because i've picked up a dumbass habit of interviewing myself and explaining concepts i've learned in my head.

How do i stop this?

I guess doing it with stuff you've recently learned has some retention benefits. I'll often explain how stuff i've learned as if i wanted to explain it to some intelligent friend, to make sure i understand it.

The problem is that ill usually just automatically start talking about nonsense and narccisism, like pretending to be interviewed after my future invention btfo'd everyone, or ill explain my political views to some imaginary thot and btfo them idk.

I've read that to retain and understand stuff you have to spend time not doing stuff, just in a clear state of mind, and im pretty sure this is inhibiting that as i probably do it an hour or so every day. Especially when im in the shower or falling asleep which is when i'd normally think about other stuff.

At least for me, when explaining things to myself i not only solidify the memory of the content, but i also process the information. What i mean by this is i do a general analysis, allowing me to see gaps in my knowledge of the content and understand the content better.

When i first understood i was aphantasic, i was butthurt over the fact that i wasn't able to make movies in my head. Sounded pretty cool.

Then i learned that what i think of thinking is actually alien to the average cattle, that for them "thinking" is literally "talking in your head" and i have never lost my overwhelming complex of superiority since then.

Actually I find that explaining a concept to someone is one of the best ways of learning it yourself, since you actively have to understand it to be able to explain it in an understandable manner, even if you're jsut doing it to yourself in your head. I used this technique a lot for studying, because it gets me to properly comprehend an idea. I agree that it does get annoying to do this when you already perfectly fathom it and don't need to further increase your understanding though.

Not that anon but you can think in concepts, and rapidly too, understanding what you are thinking about without needing to speak the language of your thoughts in your head, no inner voice necessary.

Thats not aphantasia, aphantasia is inability to see mental images, you can still have non-verbal thinking with mental imagery, but for me mental images are most often so vague and dim and fleeting that most of my thinking is just purely non-verbal and non-visual which I assume is same for you.

I often use mental images to escape reality or to create mind palace for my exam or shit I want to remember.

But my images need to be spread out, clear as fuck and not to complex so that I can remember them easily later. So I'm not some kind of autistic asperger genius.

Any books about mental images ? I want to improve.

Where you cattle have to think one step at a time, attacking a problem from only one side at a time, i do them all at the same time.The conceptual cloud.
This enables me to assimilate a given concept near-instantly.
I never understood why lessons were basically the same information repeated again, and again, and again, from different angles, slowly, with lots of explanations and metaphors and bloated, useless shit.

Now i know : it's cathered to you cattle.
I have a shit memory though, and since all techniques for helping with that involve "visualisation"(>>10510963 "mind palace"), i guess i'm shit out of luck on that front.

I would assume most of us do that. Well, all of us. How would we form the words to describe our thoughts if the concepts weren't there first? Isn't the verbal component just the method of translating the concept into a communicable form?

Fucking this thats exactly what I do when I have a thought and immediately start to sub-vocalize it needlessly in the next second after the thought is already "absorbed".

What I noticed when I tried to think more verbally is after a while this weird habit or quirk develops where you don't feel the thought has been properly "absorbed" as you describe without sub-vocalizing it, like you absolutely need to sub-vocalize or the thought won't be absorbed or processed but that is ridiculous and I've been working on breaking out of that habit and it has been working a bit, what you said about "trusting that it has been absorbed" is very helpful.

As a filmmaker, it's incredibly hard for me to write. I get the whole thing at once, how the music should sound, how the emotions should feel, the mindsets of the characters, their movements, but finding context within words and within a frame is incredibly difficult for me. If anyone has any tips for this one especially please let me know, it is having the most drastic effect on my life out of the brain processes I've described.

If you want to stop thinking with words just do things faster.
When I attempt to solve problems quicker i think more things abstractly. You can test this out for yourself by simply trying to talk faster, or improvising.
You’ll notice you starting thinking more abstractly because you brain is trying to stay ahead of its mouth.
