It's a lack of ego thing. If they had a self contained ego which was fully formed, they wouldn;'t need to use the reflection they get from others to construct an identity and sense of self. That's why they virtue signal, they have no insight and ar eliving through a shell personality. The narcissistic false self. Their proxy to the world.

All that matters is that wherever they look, the image they desire is reflected back to them. Anything which deviates from the script thus must be destroyed.

Yes, you would love to be able to destroy anything which makes you see an unpleasant contrast. Hence, society suits you just fine. You are in good company among those who are just as deeply insane.

The inner voice thing got me thinking. I have a lot of sounds in my head playing near constantly (eg music), however no automatic inner voice. I remember as a child I would say something out loud, then whisper it back to myself. Other people noticed but nonetheless it was a difficult habit to break.

Thinking via the sensory has always been a tool to me. Whether that be converting to a representation where something can be processed or held more easily, building associations for storage, or whatever.

I remember when this was getting very popular (old idea though, really) and thinking what utter nonsense it was. To say this however, modern day in particular, you'll be gaslit and told you're self deluding and have defense mechanisms and so forth, because there's this imposed notion that we're all both complete and the same. Some one man;s deficit must be everyone else's, as well.

I'd actually like to know the results of Delgado-like experiments on these different sorts of people. The whole thing with the electrodes, and after stimulation the patient would always give some reasons regarding why he himself had "chosen", despite his action having been chosen for him.
