in my case i have a very strong internal echolalia, as in i get stuck with a phrase or a specific thought, song, word, ecc… which i find very annoying, though I dont know about external echolalia, I never noticed
I had “dragon cum” stuck in my head for years (I think I picked it up from bad dragon) and now “gay homosexual women” has been stuck in my head for a few months now.
yeah things like that get stuck with me sometimes, i can totally relate
Snippets of songs. They go round and around in my head.
Constant loop. Usually a song I like and then it gets ruined by the repetition. Thanks brain.
One line, or a single riff… Round and round and round until something takes its place.
Yep. I’ve learned that this happening is a good indicator that I’m not doing well mentally and there’s a thing I’m avoiding confronting.
Then I have to play brain detective until I figure out what it is.
Same. I often wake up with random songs going through my head in the middle of the night. Sometimes it’s not the same one that was looping when I went to sleep.
If I’m not listening to music or hyperfocusing really hard there’s a constant looping snippet of some random song playing almost all the time, usually just a few seconds long. Changing it requires to listen to something else. I don’t really mind it (as long as the song doesn’t suck!), seems like my brain just needs a constant rhythm throughout the day. I always thought that it’s normal for everyone until I learned about neuro divergence a year ago.
It used to be awful, I’d end up repeating the last thing I said in my head over and over 'til there was something else I needed to process verbally.
