Personally, I think it's something normal, something that all people have, and not something with like supernatural connections. When I hear the word 'inner-voice' I think about the little voice at the back of your head that you can hear everytime you write something, or when you think about something you somewhat build it in your head. I'm thinking about an orange right now, and all I 'see' in my mind is an orange in a black space. It's probably brain stuff, maybe that's just how we are built.
As I'm writing this, I can hear that inner voice, saying all these things that I'm writing. Thing is, you can't ACTUALLY hear it. It's kinda trippy if you ask me, and too complicated to be developed by the FH community (not saying we aren't smart, because we are, it's just that the subject of inner voices is big) . To put it short though, I do have an inner voice. I thought everyone does. Do you like, not hear anything AT ALL whenever you read something, or think about something?

That's so interesting :0 And I feel that lol. As much as I love the FH community, you're right—this likely won't get much traction, but I just felt the need to sate my curiosity bahaha. Whenever people in my life told me to 'listen to the little voice in the back of your mind,' I thought it was just a saying. Like telling your kids to think about something twice before doing it, or having common sense. Apparently it's some brain thing that the majority of people have :'D
To answer your question, I don't hear anything. Whether if I'm reading or thinking, or even trying to talk to myself in my head, I can't hear anything. Same thing when I try to visualize; when I close my eyes (or keep them open sometimes) to try and 'see' something, like an orange, I don't see anything. If my eyes are closed, it's just black. I don't know how else to describe it all except just an abstract cluster of thought with no language or imagery to translate it. Even as I write, I can't hear what I'm thinking, or what I think my next words will be.
My friend and I have come to the conclusion that I have lizard brain LOL

That's trippy ngl. I can't even imagine what it would be like to not be able to hear that voice. You know, whenever I just sit still and look into nothing, without thinking about anything in particular, random images just pop in my head. Like a face (seen before or not), and then it just morphs into something entirely different like a piece of clothing, or furniture or something. It only lasts for a few seconds, and then when I 'come back to reality' and realize what's happening, I can't visualize those things anymore. It's weird, and I've never really given it much thought, but now you got me thinking lmao.
Anyway, I don't think it's a problem that you don't have this inner voice. It's not really something that 'helps' people and it's not something that gets in the way either. It's just a, let's say 'bonus', to the human body. Glad you got this off your chest though!
Okay, I have a kind of inner voice. When I imagine something, I see images. As for voices, well sometimes I hear voices, but not when I want to. Sometimes these are flashes of words spoken to me (nothing special), but I often hear voices in my head that I don't know or, worse, I don't want to know. So my inner voice is more a mental illness than an elaborate thinking.
Ohh, that's interesting, although I'm sorry it's something that you've had to cope with. Are the images that you can visualize very clear or something else? Every time I try to 'see' an image, it physically hurts my head and eyes bahaha
To see the image in your head clean and clear, you need to focus strongly. I can do it because I remember my fantasies at the age of five, heh. If you want to learn "visualization", try to take an object, stare at it for a moment, then go to another room and try to visualize this object.
