my inner voice is just my voice but inside my meat prison and says things that my mouth doesn't [for good reason.] it's sometimes helpful, i can run through what i gotta say, win imaginary arguments with her and sometimes one liners just pop up out of nowhere.
it's like having a shoulder devil, but he's killed the angel and now you're left with only bad ideas. that's it i've summarized being me.

as for seeing images? yea, i can do that, if someone says "toothless" i instantly think of my flightful salamander bby.
seeing images also happens as i see drawings in my head [though recreation is usually.. not what i had in mind.]
and there's the whole "i can imagine a whole animation to a certain song."

idk. always interesting to see other people's perspectives on unchangeable things like this.
they say the world is endin'

well maybe it's about time!

For years i never understood why people said they think to themselves "some quote of what they were thinking*".
When someone asked multi-lingual people "What language do you think in" it occurred to me why.
For the same reason deaf people think in sign language.  They literally have a voice in their head that is their own thoughts, spoken aloud on the inside?
I used to think things in ways that i don't have a way of representing.  Could take an exam, get every answer right, and fail because they want' to know how i worked it out.
"Duhh, in my head"
"Then show your working on paper"
*doodle random lines*
"This means nothing, you fail".

If you grow up with no languages around you, you don't think in words.  Just something i've noticed.
The Japanese concept of wabisabi:
The closest concept in english would be 'rustic'
They might have an old thing, one example is a favourite bowl or dish, it's broken, pieces are missing, why fix it?  With gold and pieces from other dishes?
"Because it was my favourite & I like it"

Being completely honest, I am not sure. I have my thoughts, which are in full sentences and can show me vivid images, but I wouldn't really call it my inner voice. I'd call it more of just a more active imagination mixed with an internal "narrator" - as I generally only talk to myself like that when I am planning something out or doing something.

All-in-all, I have absolutely no clue

I like to think that everyone does to an extent. For me, it's that little voice inside your head, or perhaps even a feeling that either tells you to do something, or not to do something. Like your conscience sort of thing.
