Internal monologue
"An internal monologue, also called self-talk, inner speech, inner discourse or internal discourse, is a person's inner voice which provides a running verbal monologue of thoughts while they are conscious." Do you have an internal monologue? Rome Maynard does, and the voice in his head makes sarcastic comments that he sometimes cannot repeat. Joel doesn't think he has an internal monologue, at least not every day. We also discuss typewriter, assembling furniture from boxes, and dressing for success when working from home.
