Wait im confused now. Did you think "I am not a fish" or said it outloud? Either way I'm trying it when the time comes
I am part of the people who have the small voice in your head that you control most of the time, and which basically tells everything you think. This invented voice of my brain is the one that said "I am not a fish"
What's mildly infuriating to me is that not everyone has that little voice.
And honestly that fact scares the shit out of me
Yeah, no kidding this was my family's discussion at New Year's Eve. And my Aunt could not understand what we meant. We gave her a book and everything and told her "Are you reading the book, or is the voice in your head reading the book to you?" To what she responded, "There is no voice here reading anything, I don't understand anything you are telling me"
Which, I cannot simply perceive how it works for her, does information simply enter like the kid absorbing knowledge?
I've got another fact that is a bit different When you imagine a Bar in your mind, you always imagine the same one.
Sometimes I have an inner voice, sometimes I don't.
My theory is that I view words as shapes, and then I piece them together to form information.

I think it is the norm, but it isn't everyone.
