Lack of inner monologue as a mathematician

I've talked to some of my friends recently about how I don´t really have a constant voice phrasing my thoughts into speech, I just sorta know stuff, like it's implied.

>How do you do proofs then anon?
The ideas just piece themselves together as pictures and abstract nonsense in my head, I materialize proofs out of the bottomless aether and into paper. I've joked about this in the past stating that I "think" outside my head.

>So you're unable to do formal proofs in your head? For me it's like a have a semi permanent blackboard in which I can keep track of stuff
I can give myself an inner monologue/a mind board if I'd like, for example, I'm thinking about some how (some of) what I write sounds like but other than that, I don´t plan ahead the sentence structures. Proofs in your minds eye for me have the same value as intuition so why bother keeping track of shit religiously if it's tedious and takes time? Either eyeball it with your math intuition or develop it on paper.

>What goes on inside your noggin then?
Wobbly imagery, mind "feelings" or hunches, the ocasional thought of how something felt, nothing, imagining how a conversation would go with someone.

>You're an Npc, thats not thinking
If I didn´t think there would be no way of me ever doing what I do, my thoughts just don´t fully develop inside my head as tangible stuff because I'm too lazy for that, if they HAVE to be stuff then I'll pull them from the aether.
