Wait, is this true??? Do most of you (at least the neurotypical ones) really not have a mental jukebox playing most of the time? Really??? I’m *reeling* at this suggestion
Thanks for feedback on the mental jukebox thing. It sounded a bit overstated, but interesting to hear different people’s experiences. “More research is indicated” 😁

Well let’s start that research now, with a highly scientific poll. “Please boost for reach” (and to offer me some always-needed validation), etc.

Which applies to you most closely?

(NT = neurotypical, ND = neurodivergent, including suspected/self-ID)

NT, have a mental jukebox
20.2%
NT, no mental jukebox
6.5%
ND, have a mental jukebox
60.4%
ND, no mental jukebox
12.9%

@considermycatjohn I really need "occasional jukebox" or "rare jukebox" option xD
@the_luck_witch Ha, yes. I find myself wondering what the range of “mental jukebox” experiences is: from short/occasional earworms, to a very frequent / continuous (which is how I think the term is used in the ADHD community), to something closer to intrusive thoughts that people find very hard to control
