Do you hate YOUR inner monologue?

I absolutely hate my mind sometimes. I start thinking about something and it just goes off into something completely ridiculous and annoying to the point I want to put my head through a wall. I start to over analyse EVERYTHING(That bottle of water I just finished has a tiny bit left at the bottom).Sometimes my head just loops this kind of information over and over again.

And the worst thing is how all this inner monologue is a conversation with myself. Sometimes it becomes so ridiculous that I say (in my head) that this is stupid.... and then I reply to that! And it goes on and on.

Of course there's moments when my head is quiet (when im concentrated or relaxed) but anytime I'm not I go crazy and I cant stop it or control it.

I really hope I'm not the only one like this... anyone else have this? If not then I guess I am crazy haha.

 

This. Is. Me.

 

If you're worried this is crazy, there's no hope left for me.

 

If you don't arespect yourself, your n a poor position to appreciate others.

 

I don't mind mine. I just "talk" about what I'm doing in my head. I like it, it's like a built-in best friend.

 

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this.

On another note, thank god I'm not the only one haha.

 

Cog means that if you don't like yourself, you can't like others.

Ahaha, I know. It's awkward when like nobody else has it. Maybe it's a good thing because it's showing that our brains are already wired to write.

 

Well yeah, I know but I never said I dislike myself.. just my constant never ending inner monologue. :O

 

Which either means I'm backward or a lunatic. Shame I've been described as both.

 

Gosh, everybody's my mouthpiece today!

 

No, you're not. If you are, I am, which raises some new problems for me.....

 

I do indeed have an inner monologue, and I even argue with myself. Like right now, I am holding an inner case about what should or shouldn't happen in my story.

 

I don't mind my inner dialogue (and it is a dialogue). At least I know I'm talking to someone intelligent.

Yeah, I know - old joke...

 

No, because it's how I think. And how I think is also how I tend to speak. It allows me to familiarize myself with certain phrases I want to use, what's wrong with that?

 

You are fortunate enough to have a sane inner monologue!

 

You're describing rumination?

 

Is rumination dwelling on bad things or failures? If so, not exactly but rumination CAN also be a part of it.

 

Or congruently insane...

 

I assure you, sane is a word far from my inner vocabulary.

 

my mind tells me all sorts of weird things that shouldn't be said out loud, i just tell it to shut up and listen to the music! im not like that with other people, as inherently i talk to people who listen to the same music i do anyway... and on occasions, i do actually question my sanity....

 

I love my inner monologue. I'm fascinating.

 

I think my inner monologue is pretty cool, he / she / it ought to be a real person! A bit manic though, he / she / it keeps replaying : Daenarys Targaryen of House Targaryen, daughter of Aerys Targaryen, sister of Viserys Targaryen, sister of Rhaegar Targaryen, sister of Aegon Targaryen of House Targaryen-- etc.

The "Targaryen" part is said with a sneezy fucked up tone, hahaha Also he / she / it also always makes fun of myself, and sometimes when I'm alone I talk with this inner self: from self loathing to the endless sneezy Targaryen cycle.

 

What happened to your spelling Cog?

To the OP - don't worry, we're all in the same boat! I've been like that ever since I was like 14! It's worse when you're having theological debates with yourself and counter-arguing your own arguments and then you're just like, "STOP IT!!"

The worst monologues are when it's things you wish you could say to someone else

 

And then I reply to that myself "No I'm not going to stop, if you've got a problem find another brain".
And that just starts a whooole 'nother conversation.

 

I don't have a problem with my mind overwhelming me with uninterruptible inner chatter, but I absolutely hate when my mind veers off track into some kind of a worst case scenario, and even though I started with a pleasant thought, I end up weeping inside about my possible, distant misfortune, loss, or whatever. It's really annoying and I have to keep reminding myself to quit it.
