People dismiss it often, but I do think all of us are born predisposed to view the world a certain way and how we respond. As I said to another person, I have anendophasia, which means I have little to no internal monologue. I don't really get stressed out because I don't really get intrusive thoughts. I could sleep fairly easily. With any criticisms I get, I just forget and it doesn't linger in my mind, or I just learn and move on.

The downside of having anendophasia, though, is that I have been insensitive before, because I wrongly assumed that people don't have constant intrusive thoughts. It was irrational for me as to why have these thoughts without bearing in reality. Only recently I realise many, if not most, people have constant internal monologue that is pain in the butt. Nothing for me to do but understand. It's the state of mind all along.

    Only about 20% of people have constant internal monologue. It's more likely to have zero internal monologue than an uncontrollable one.

    This indicates to me that the internal monologuers are potentially describing uncontrolled anxiety.
