I’ve been hearing/reading about people who don’t have an inner monologue. Their experience of cognition is not verbally-based.

Honestly, for some of us the idea that all your thoughts have to filter through language sounds very tedious.

I want to remind everyone that your experiences are unique and do not necessarily translate to all other people.

Language is not essential for the cognitive processes that underlie thought
