No, but one time when tripping balls I lost the ability to think without speaking. Usually I have an internal “voice” when thinking about stuff. That time I had to speak out loud just to have thoughts lol
I had to think about this for a minute. I’m generally an honest person, I try not to hide my flaws, I don’t shy away from conflicts and I try not to be judgemental. I don’t think I have a lot of “secret” thoughts. Those that I do have aren’t at risk because they usually involve something that was told to me in confidence and snitches get stitches. I will say though that I don’t particularly enjoy being put in a position where I have to keep a secret.
There’s been more than a few times my kid has called me out by saying “Use your inside thoughts”.
When I lived alone, for sure. I spoke my thoughts out loud constantly, just filling empty space. Now that my partner and I live together, it’s fairly rare. Unless I’m troubleshooting something, and then there’s lots of profanity.
You mean like talking to yourself or having no filter?
Yes
I mean, sometimes my inner monologue turns into talking to myself out loud, otherwise I’m not really sure what you mean.
Have you ever been read?
Like by a psychic? No. Otherwise I’m still not sure what you’re getting at.
By expression
Do you mean that someone could tell what I was thinking by the look on my face or tone of voice, that kind of thing?
Oh absolutely.
If I’m writing, my face usually contorts to the part I’m on. If a character is sleepy, I yawn, if they’re mad, I snarl, if they’re sad, I’ll pout.
Otherwise, often my intrusive thoughts win. To be fair, my anxiety meds sometimes kick up and “activate” as my psych calls it, which makes me entirely manic and unable to hold onto that impulse control.
Rarely, because I have decent self inhibition, even online.
But yeah, definitely things leak
Look at fancy pants over here, “my inside thoughts are so special I better not let them out.”
Or
“Oo I dont want to burden people with the mastications of my mental process”
Im just poking fun, btw.
Well, in my defense, I think my inner thoughts are horrible.
Like, the one about hamsters. Nobody wants to see that.
Sounds like early internet stuff.
Oh sweet memories
Kinda like that, only with more garden hoses
Often, sometimes I can’t turn it off. :(
Don’t be sad. It wants out, thoughts are mostly harmless.
No.
TBF, I don’t really try to keep most things inside anyway, so there’s only a few I need to keep the lid on.
