Interestingly, researchers at Harvard University have found that visual and verbal thinking are highly linked. “And I'm confident about the individual differences-some people talk to themselves a lot, some never, some occasionally.” Hurlburt, professor of psychology at the University of Nevada. “I'm confident that inner speech is a robust phenomenon if you use a proper method, there's little doubt about whether or not inner speech is occurring at any given moment,” writes Russell T. Studies show that some individuals never experience it at all, while others only experience it occasionally. So if you have no inner monologue, should you be worried? Not really. The idea of external speech becoming internalized is also supported by evidence that it's the same part of the brain-Broca's area-that deals with both. He even proposed that this inner speech was highly abbreviated and included a lot of omissions.

It was the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky who suggested that external conversation can become internalized. Psychologists began looking into the function of inner speech in the 1930s. The phenomenon itself has been debated for years by scientists. This caused strong reactions online, as people on both sides of the coin imagined what life would be like with or without their inner monologue. “As in, some people's thoughts are like sentences they ‘hear', and some people just have abstract non-verbal thoughts, and have to consciously verbalize them And most people aren't aware of the other type of person.” “Fun fact: some people have an internal narrative and some don't,” he tweeted.

The topic of inner speech has caused a stir on Twitter after the user KylePlantEmoji put out his own observation on the matter.
