I tried to raise the question of that, not so long ago.

Ofcourse when I think about writing something, or am reading or something.
I will be sort of reading it out loud to myself.
And when I am sitting here, not opening my mouth, it is more coming thru my mind. So id be reading loud, out to me and you. In a way.
And when I walk around thinking about some concept, idea.. And I am not disturbed by something else that critically needs my attention.. For example, I cant calculate something, and speak to people at the same time.
But doing some repetetive task, that has become an habbit, and I can do both.
It is something that is hard to explain.
Here is a question I have been thinking about.
Some people talk very much with themselves, out loud (really annoying.. I know someone who does all the time. You dont know if your suppose to answer him or not.. You can say nothing, and he will answer himself. Like half the time he does not notice you.)
And I may have an inner dialouge.
People who hear voices, cant they distinguish, between themselves and something else?.
Langauge, words.. And any other information, knowgled.. Is sort of what we got to operate with. In front of you.
We have different langauges, some use only visuals because they cant hear or speak..
But there is the "curse of knowgled" and such..
When I first came here on the site, I was very interested. But you have an langauge..
Fe.. Ti..
Id almost feel dumb, or question myself.. Feel imbarrased.. Can I stay?, learn this too?, is it okay for me to be here?.
I read lots of phycology and thought I had most figured out. But now there is a new langauge.
And I will be Thinking-feeling... / Feeling-thinking my way thru it, "is that true or not... right.. or this way"..
Great for trying to understand, or maybe get something going.
But, you may meet someone else, and they wont understand it.
....
Also often, and most of the time. I dont think in words at all. Or anything at all..
