Is it normal to have no inner monologue?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to have little or no inner monologue. People think in different ways: some hear words in their head, while others rely more on images, feelings, or wordless ideas.

Yes. Not everyone has a running voice narrating their day. Some people think in sentences, while others mostly use pictures, impressions, feelings, or ideas that don’t come with words attached. Plenty of people have a mix, depending on what they’re doing.

It can seem surprising when you realize other people’s minds work differently, but there’s no single “correct” way to think. If you can understand, plan, remember, and communicate in your own way, a quiet inner monologue by itself isn’t a problem.
