it's not an outside voice telling you to do something, it's just forming thoughts as word to go alongside images and emotions. If you do a lot of reading and writing you will start to do it more. Everybody does it a bit, and everybody also sometimes thinks intuitively and quickly off of images and emotions only. The whole idea of two "categories" of people is almost always bunk (introvert-extrovert psuedoscience for example, there aren't 2 species of humans who 'gain energy' in opposite ways. There's just people who have a more developed set of social 'muscles' where they are not as overwhelmed by social interaction)
I mean, I talk to myself maybe sometimes but that's actually vocalised either out loud fully or as like a whisper. I don't do it all the time though, thoughts are intangible, they're not individual words to me, they're more like clouds, and when thinking about an extremely complex problem it's more like a whirlwind or storm with clouds of thoughts forming from it.
It's not a monologue to me because it's much more complex than just speaking to myself, which does not happen in my head unless I consciously try to do it.
everyone has internal dialogue when writing, by the very nature of writing which is forming our thoughts into words. Some people just do it all the time, some people do it only while writing
