I think only about half the population think this way. Your voice is in your head speaking thoughts kinda like they show in movies. The other half thinks in pictures, shapes, colors, and sounds.

Its definitely not that simple as I definitely have both, I've also heard a lot of people say "I'm a visual thinker", but I've absolutely never heard of someone not being one do I'm not sure there is even such a thing as a non visual thinker

This is making me keep thinking of blinking and breathing and it's weirding me out!

Another fun one is thinking about the size of your tongue. Lol it doesn’t fit in there bro!
