Honestly, because it’s all I’ve ever known. As far as I’m concerned the voices are me, the real inner me, and things I say out loud are just an expression of that. Who are you when you’re alone and quiet?
I’m still me. Lots of thoughts (sometimes too many) but they’re more nebulous than narrated. Just like with the aphantasia thing, ideas are just kinda data. I could draw a map from memory, I just could not represent it visually in my head. I played in bands and composed music, but I don’t “hear it” as such
