I sometimes have an inner monologue, but not usually. If I am writing or reading I hear the text in my head. If I am imagining a conversation or book or talking to myself then same again. But if I am listening to music, or to someone else talking, no inner monologue of my own speaks over them. If I am focusing on something “non wordsy” its certainly not there. (When I am catching a ball I don’t have words describing the process jumbling around in my brain. when I am admiring a nice view I enjoy the shades of green without thinking the word “green”.)
