The people who have to narrate their lives and talk to themselves in their heads think we’re the weird ones 😹

Having a voice in my head would drive me insane. Like stfu
Lucky. I can't shut it off.
Might be a factor as why I have 0 anxiety pretty much all the time 🤔
I feel like a voice would increase anxiety.
Its very peaceful without
Not to sound weird, but at Riga, when you are staring, are you processing or doing a checklist in your head (right before you go on stage)
Me, I am analyzing everyone in the room, their movements, their facial expressions, their energy, their interactions...like non-stop, makes me super over stimulated.
You mentioned you were autistic. So I am curious what is going on in your brain in a room like that main room.
If this is not too weird, I love watching body language videos, and I am curious what or how you are processing.
I don’t analyze people at all in groups, the way my brain works ignores all forms of body language and cues like that if its more than one person.
The room and people didn’t really exist to me in that moment. I was mostly running a script of what I rehearsed based on cues from the slide notes.
I did try to land a joke about texting your ex but didn’t land at all, that was a brief moment where I was reminded the crowd exists 😅
Thank you. I just presented your nostriga video talk to my ten year old nephew, highlighting people who have inner dialogues vs those who don't .... we both have what I would call the butterfly effect of thoughts, where a thought takes a run and starts branching vs where your video you are staying on script. I also noted how your body language looks as if you are doing the same, reading a script with your body as you are presenting. Your body language is almost like a type writer. I noted that to myself during your speech, and it was nice to see it wasn't nerves but rather you going back and forth on your own personal script, like code.
Interesting.
Ha ha, same. Keeps me awake at night. And my inner voice doesn't like me very much, so I'm happiest trying to suppress it; doing something focused, like coding or hiking, or reading a book, so that it's busy with the read-aloud and doesn't start complaining at me.
It’s not really "a" voice, it’s yours. And since you told it to STFU maybe it’s why you can’t hear it. 🤔
