A woman who claims to be a diagnosed psychopath has shared what her internal monologue is like, and how she envisions memories and future events in her mind.
'I close my eyes and I see black,' the TikToker, who goes by the name of victhepath, said, revealing the inky darkness of her purely abstract thoughts.
'It's so hard for me to describe because it's just conceptual,' she continued. 'I can envision things, but I can't actually see the things I'm envisioning.'
When it comes to her own 'internal monologue,' as she also told her followers, it's also stripped of vivid detail: 'The voice isn't something that I hear. It's just something that I understand — like, I'm thinking in words, but I'm not hearing the words.'

Yes, he says he is a narcissist and a psychopath
What basis is there to believe a word this person says?
It is perhaps worth mentioning that Whitman asked to have his brain checked for this possibility in what amounted to his suicide note.
I believe him.
That was my thought as well.
I wish Charlie Manson’s brain had been documented at least through CT scans and MRI’s.
“I’m thinking in words, but I’m not hearing the words.’”
Well, sugar, you’re not supposed to hear the words unless you’re actually talking out loud.
Must have been a really slow news day.
When I close my eyes I see black too
Then I open them, and I see light
I thought he was a narcissist
He is. He claims he is an Ultra. But he also says he is a psychopath. He has many videos about it.
Amazing! Me 2!
A psychopath is always lying. So why should we believe this is not a lie?
If it bothers you that you were diagnosed to be a psychopath...you probably aren’t.

You’re not supposed to hear words? Hm. Yeah, I guess it’s not out loud, but it is vocal. How else would the narrator in my head talk to/for me? (I am a more auditory than visual person. Maybe speech is just how I roll?)
Just wondering how this works. Do deaf ASL people think in sign?

Of course you think in words, but your ears aren’t going to hear them unless you vocalize the words.
Ok. I still wonder how it works for deaf people.
I’m glad none of you are therapists.
lol
