I agree that a good chunk of it is socialization and stigmatiization driving and reinforcing thought modes that persist throughout life, but I also think that a large majority of NTs do not consciously think before they speak, the way they process social situations is largely un/subconscious, automatic, closer to breathing/blinking than to walking or origami, and they literally cannot fathom that for others, socialization is a much more explicitly conscious, intentional, and active process.

A large subset of the population literally does not have a consistent internal monologue, ie, explicit, active linguistic thought processing of the world around them, and basically cannot imagine what it would be like to just have that all or most of the time. For those people, that's not a default mode, its basically a demanding task to perform.

Roughly 30%-50% of people have regular inner monologues, meaning roughly 50% to 70% of people don't.

Those are the people I am talking about, for whom constructing an actually logically consistent and linguistically precise thought is basically an uncommon and exceptional task of mental labor, as opposed to... a default operating mode that happens almost all the time and for which it actually takes mental effort or some kind of conditioning to not do that, or to moderate it.

I think theres more to it than just socialization.

Nearly 1/2 to 3/4 of people where an inner monologue seems like a fantastical, made up idea, an uncommon task to perform?

That seems to be way too many to be from socialization alone, that seems to me to have a large 'nature' component.

I wish I could shut my inner monologue every now and then.

No thoughts up there, like zombies.

Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.

Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.

A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level. For more information regarding the problems with 'Egg-culture', please see Here.

Love Y'all and thank you for following this community
