I actually saw a video on the inner voice concept. This guy was interviewing a girl to see if she had an inner voice. The video was titled "is this girl an NPC" lol, so I guess me and my parents are NPC.
I don't have one - there's no literal "voice" I can hear in my head as I think, but I still somehow think. My actions do feel automatic much of the time, as if I'm going through life on autopilot. I can't see any imagery in my head whatsoever, my dreams have no visuals. So idk what's going on up there. I'd assume it's the same for my parents.
That's probably the core issue. Without inner monologue, stands to reason one would be more inclined to follow authority figures.
I would focus on mental imaging through exercises. Child games like 'memory' or 'shell games'. Learn them now so you can train your future kids. Also, if there was a website that would flash an image up for a split second and ask you what it was, that would be ideal.
