Hey mates! Let's talk about the character of our thoughts shall we? Mmm yes I think we shall hmmhmmhmm?
When I'm happy my inner voice resembles a sort of squeaky, perky, ultra-optimistic chick who is rolling tits on some sort of phenethylamine (probably taking ecstasy). These thoughts can lead me to some pretty happy places sometimes, it's like a natural high of sorts. I welcome it! I think of it as my Fe (or Fi perhaps?) It is this voice that lead me to the one experience I had with the divine. That's a different story.
When I am working on a problem, my thoughts become more cerebral and nerdy. Yes, nerdy! Imagine a pimply neckbearded wise-guy who has a comment about EVERYTHING. A picky sort of perfectionist who sees the details and how they come together to form a whole. This anal-retentive fellow thinks so hard that it approaches the point of over-analyzing. I call it the Ti, but I could be mistaking it for Te. If I become mentally fatigued, this voice becomes an annoyance rather than an ally.
I'm not depressed at the moment, in fact I haven't truly been so for quite a while... but has anyone ever noticed how the tone of their inner voice changes when you criticize yourself? Mine sometimes sounds like a profane and extremely upset black man with a deep voice and intense hatred for me. It's quite scary and even made me cry in the past. I feel like this is my Ni and Ti working half-against my own self, in the sense that a productive and character building side of me has been blown out of proportion. Instead of building from my mistakes, this state of mind just overwhelms me until I sort through my self-esteem issues. It is then that I can return to baseline, resume my life, and move on while building from what I have recently learned.
Now, just to clarify, I'm not talking about perceiving auditory hallucinations......I'd be pretty worried about my sanity in this case! No, this is simply how I feel my personality would sound if I could indeed, actually listen to it as it happens (though in a way I suppose we all do this to some degree....uh, right?)
What do your inner voices sound like to you? Does it change with your mindset, or is it consistent in character?
