Thinking process feels like someone is in my head.

Can someone relate to this?

Hard to explain , I have no hallucinations whatsoever ( actually this is another topic I may have had like 2 slight hallucination for a sec in my entiere life, heavely stress related IMO, but this is another topic.)

Its just that when I think many times it fels like the person thinking in my head is another one I dont know if that make any sence, and when I think of something a bit controversial on a personnal level I tend to actually imagine talking this throught with an imaginary being in my head.

Any one ? xD
 
Consciousness is baffling. We have the brain and the the consciousness trying to understand the brain. Then we have as slave master over the consciousness telling it that it's insane.

It is just part of who you are. Being Aspie, it is probably complex, but it is probably good, too! I try to ignore it when it acts up.

I often don't even agree with or like this other voice and vice versa.
 
It sounds very familiar to me. I talk to myself constantly, in my head, very rarely out loud.
I think that’s normal.
 
I talk to myself in my head frequently, especially if I'm having difficulty sleeping, but it's always me talking, if you get my meaning. I am aware I'm mentally talking to myself and do it deliberately so it's not like having a stranger in ma heed!
 
When I talk in my head, I sometimes (well, often) have full blown conversations with imaginary people I create for those conversations, or other times with real-world people I simulate to have those conversations. But I am always aware that it is me doing the talking.
 
From what I heard, many people 'talk things through with imaginary friends'. Especially so if you 'practice' scenarios of different behaviours. It's quite logical if you think, to work on problems in this way.

(And besides, there are more people talking to themselves than one would think.)
 
Archetypes.
It's a thought form entity.
As for what it what was exactly that created it that depends on you... and that's where the explanation starts to get difficult.
I was able to "personify" my own subconscious mind and have communications with it. It even has a name which i can't share.

One could also compartmentalize their ego and have it manifest as a thought form. A dead friend? Primal self. Higher self god and devil, good and evil conscience babble is somewhat common.
The last example is illustrated perfectly in this song / music video. When watching it, keep in mind that dre and em are inside the persons head. Talking to him through thought. They are the "good" (dr.dre) and "evil" (eminem) advisors, his conscience. In the first arc you can even hear him hearing talking back to his thoughts.

SFW version
 
I often have speech/dialogue in my head, but it is usually me who is speaking. I can imagine the voice of a person I know if I want to, though.
 
This is something like this for me aswell but...
When I think about something stresfull or important it feels like realy a contrary thinking process happens and its like I have 2 minds kek.

I'm not sure how relevant this is, but people do differ as to whether they tend to think visually, with mental images, or not. I have absolutely zero mental imagery (a condition known as aphantasia), and as far as I am aware, all my thought processes proceed by means of a mental "dialogue" with myself.

Usually, I think of it as "me" on both sides of the argument, if I am thinking through a decision-making process where I am weighing up pros and cons for two possible options. Sometimes I suppose I imagine having the argument with someone else taking an opposing viewpoint. But I think always at least one of the people speaking in the internal dialogue is "me." And I suppose the one who prevails in the end and controls my actions is always the "me" and not the other person!

I've come across this before. I'm a very visual thinker myself (I visualise a machine myself), but I came across an account on another online AS community quite a few years ago, where someone recounted having a "virtual radio play" going round their head. Quite a few people agreed with the poster at the time.
 
I have music going in my head almost constantly. When its not going in my head is unusual...
