I mean yeah, that was my reaction upon reading this - they're describing me or at least something similar. I had never considered that unusual before.

My year goes anticlockwise too, now that you've mentioned clocks...

Yes, people are very different. A friend recently told me that they, similarly, have no internal monologue, and seem to have aphantasia. Other friends are there on facebook wishing their internal monologue would just shut the hell up sometimes. Mine goes away pretty much only when I'm busy doing something.

Brains are fascinating and it's interesting to discover just how different people are.
