the inner experience

Inner experience refers to the subjective sensations, thoughts, emotions, and awareness that occur within a person's mind. It encompasses how individuals perceive, interpret, and feel about their inner world, such as thinking through a problem, feeling happiness or sadness, or simply being aware of their own existence. This inner life is distinct from external events and is experienced privately, shaping one’s perception, identity, and understanding of the world around them. It is a fundamental aspect of consciousness that varies from person to person and is central to how we make sense of our experiences.
