But an inner monologue, yes that's very active.
I'm in the same boat. Was rattled when I learned people can pull an image up in their head. My inner voice is super active as well but one poster mentioned reading and that's where it kind of tails off. When I read I just kind of put the story together in my head, no visuals and I only "sound out" the printed words once I'm tired and know it's time to stop reading. Not really sure how to explain it but once I'm tired and my brain starts looking at every word my reading slows right down and my comprehension actually goes down as well. Otherwise I'm a very quick reader.

It did explain why I'm so ####ty at drawing, anyways.
