What's a sensation that you're unsure if other people experience?

Multiple voices in my head. All mine - not like a schizophrenic voice of strangers telling me to do things- but three seperate trains of independent thought.

Usually one is figuring out what to say or listening. Often checking your posture and waiting to respond if called. The other is evaluating the world and commenting on the sensory input. It checks if you're too hot, or decides to take the elevator not the steps. A third is kind of dreaming I guess. It's imagining and hypothesising about stuff.

Sometimes there are more voices and I can tune them out by focusing on other things (video games, exercise). These roles aren't specific at all. I honestly can't tell them apart I just know they have favourite topics and often they are all talking at once.

It leads to you wondering if you should take a jacket because it might be cold, and thinking about how bad the weather has been lately and hoping it's better by the weekend, and also imagining how much better the jacket would look if you could make it shiny somehow, with some kind of spray on coating. All of it happens in barely a moment and then they all move on to something else.

Maybe this is just how all people think, but I've asked around and found most don't have a number of thoughts that happen on top of each other often about different things and they are all rather conversational subvocally.
