Yeah people with and without aphantasia can have a quiet mind or a inner monologue.

When youre really focused thinking about something do you think in words then? or is it some kind of other thought process? Ive heard people usually think in images when they dont have an inner monologue but i guess that wouldn't be how you do it.

I "speak" the words with closed mouth when I think. I think. It feels like the muscles in my throat is moving sightly when I think. So when I'm thinking I'm speaking for myself kinda. It's hard for me to think stuff if I'm trying to not move my muscles in the throat kinda.

Thats interesting. I do that sometimes when im thinking about talking. When I get too focused on it i'll start mouthing and making facial expressions.
