Reply to comment by winterwwonderww in ELI5: Why does whispering cause trouble swallowing? by [deleted]

Most people don't say their thoughts out loud at all. Of the minority who do talk to themselves, I'm sure very few have a habit of whispering.

So what do you do personally when no one is around.. do you whisper or not?

I might occasionally say something to myself but if I do so I will tend to use the same voice that I would use with others - for example if I have made a silly mistake I might grumble an expletive, or I might use a joyous tone if something is funny. I do not think I ever whisper to myself.

For the most part, however, my thoughts stay in my head.
