Always I
“we” and other first-person-plurals
We’re right there with y’all.
It varies between people, but for me it alternates!
Depends on if I’m mad at myself…
“I should go get some food.”
“You fucking idiot.”
Typically “you” if it’s in my head, but if said out loud it’s “I”
i use “ye”, too, but only at renaissance festivals
I, you, we and thou.
As in:
“What am I doing?!”
“You’re getting older, not younger.”
“Let’s not do this again.”
“Thou have lost the little bit of reasoning you had left.”
And it scares people.
*Thou hast
Thou hast mich
I tend to just leave them out all together. Don’t know why though, maybe it’s faster?
It feels a bit like when you read a book fast and skip over entire words.“Need to do some cleaning.”
“How could this be done faster?”
Or a common one:
“Hungry” :)Hungy
so humgry
Interesting that several people are reporting using “you” for negative sentiments, because I use “I” for those as well. E.G. “Well, I’m a fucking idiot.”
We. You are a combination of all the entities living on or in you. We are Us.
Mostly you
Depends which part of myself I’m talking to. If it’s just a general conversation, it’s “we.” If it’s more of a direct conversation to a part of my mind, it’s “you.” If I’m talking about myself to a third-party, such as this response, it’s “I.”
3rd person.
Distancing yourself from yourself, like an external narrator
More the equivalent of a parent using your full name before telling you to do something… But it is your own mental monologue.
The passive voice is often used.
It took me a moment to realise this was about inner monologues.
Could be thinking out loud or reflection via writing 🤷♂️
There are multiple voices, one says “I” while the others respond with “you” if they are disagreeing, or “we” if they agree.
- I should shave
- Yes we should
- No, you shouldn’t. You look stupid.
- I think that’s right, I’m not shaving.
