Wait, wtf are you guys describing? I can hear a voice or I suppose a faint imitation of my own voice if I decide to pause and focus on it but it doesn't come out of nowhere and talk to me at random. Are you guys okay?
Do you ever talk things over in your head? Like pros and cons? Weighing up a situation where are both sides of the conversation? Is most of your inner world totally silent? What about when you're lying in bed at night about to go to sleep? Do you ever get random reminders of old things from the past? If so how do you know you're thinking about them? Whats the cue?
Do you remember your dreams clearly? Also:
Close your eyes and imagine a RED STAR then open this thread:
1) Close your eyes and imagine a RED STAR. 2) Open this thread.
Not everyones inner worlds are the same as your own as this experiment will show. There is a very interesting place we can go once we've established where most people sit on the spectrum of mental perception so lets get it.

Used to but I killed it

I see what you are getting at, I'm not mute in that regard, as I'm aware some people claim to be. I can hear any voice in my head if I want, but it's not a default approach, it really only happens when I'm reading. If I'm debating a topic with myself, I just talk aloud.
Remembering dreams? Rarely, but I have the worst approach to sleep right now, I plan to take a serious approach with some data tracking soon to alleviate that before seeing a professional about it. On the times I do remember dreams, very rarely is it clear, it's just fragments of a dream that stood out the most.
On the "red star" and thread, I imagined a literal red star (red giant), but that likely depends on what you will first associate "star" with. I can picture things in my head, if necessary, for example, I can playthrough Dark Souls 1 visually in my head from start to finish.
edit: But if asked to picture a star like the one in the thread, the red of the star is vivid. Same if I do a blue star or green.

it's scary that there are some people walking around without it
To be fair, the way some are describing it does lends to schizo vibes. Such as "intrusions", if I personally had a voice intrude on my thoughts, I would seek a professional for help on that. I think most are meaning to say that the voice in their head seems to come about without much thinking on their part. So for example, it's happening to me more as a type this because I have come across this thread, but before that, it was probably happening without me being totally aware it was happening.
Like this is not happening at all:
But what is happening is a very faint voice, I would honestly just consider it "thinking", the voice can be seemingly raised in fashion that makes it louder, of course are ears aren't involved, but it's not outright like another person talking to you, like the schizophrenic simulation above.
