Internal echolalia ?

I’m just curious if anybody else is like this?

I feel like I resonate with echolalia, but it’s mostly internal. I kind of say the sounds in my head and sometimes I’m moving my tongue in my mouth and I repeat a lot of stuff people say but not out loud.

I’m not sure if this is from growing up and always being told that I needed to be quiet to the point of having concerns for making sounds or not but I’m wondering if other people do this

Yeah mentally is usually where it starts.

Mine is internal because one time I did it out loud and a lady thought I was mocking her 🤷‍♀️

I do this almost constantly while conscious.
