“we” and other first-person-plurals
We’re right there with y’all.
Depends on if I’m mad at myself…
“I should go get some food.”
“You fucking idiot.”
Typically “you” if it’s in my head, but if said out loud it’s “I”
i use “ye”, too, but only at renaissance festivals
Both. And often also by name for some sarcasms.
Yeah this l me too. it depends on the context
I tend to just leave them out all together. Don’t know why though, maybe it’s faster?
It feels a bit like when you read a book fast and skip over entire words.“Need to do some cleaning.”
“How could this be done faster?”
Or a common one:
“Hungry” :)Hungy
so humgry
Interesting that several people are reporting using “you” for negative sentiments, because I use “I” for those as well. E.G. “Well, I’m a fucking idiot.”
Depends which part of myself I’m talking to. If it’s just a general conversation, it’s “we.” If it’s more of a direct conversation to a part of my mind, it’s “you.” If I’m talking about myself to a third-party, such as this response, it’s “I.”
It took me a moment to realise this was about inner monologues.
Could be thinking out loud or reflection via writing 🤷♂️
Both, but it also depends on if I’m winning the argument or they are.
The passive voice is often used.
‘One’
“One” for me as well. No need to be so informal just because it’s all in my head.
We. You are a combination of all the entities living on or in you. We are Us.
I, you, we and thou.
As in:
“What am I doing?!”
“You’re getting older, not younger.”
“Let’s not do this again.”
“Thou have lost the little bit of reasoning you had left.”
And it scares people.
*Thou hast
Thou hast mich
3rd person.
Distancing yourself from yourself, like an external narrator
More the equivalent of a parent using your full name before telling you to do something… But it is your own mental monologue.
If it’s my internal monologue it’s usually “I”
If I’m writing about myself (like a journal) then also “I”
If it’s a note to remind myself of something then “you”
I have written letters to myself in the future and those are always “you”
