I've never had the whole 'second person in my head' thing, which is sort of surprising considering I think about my characters all the damn time. I know exactly how they speak, how they walk, their common gestures, their tics...but I'm not always certain precisely what they're thinking, which trips me up sometimes and makes me feel like a bad RPer. :|
I do get the phantom limb stuff (flattening/perking/swiveling/flicking ears, swishing tail), but I think it's just because I'm a big closet furry. It's weird enough that I actually feel kind of embarrassed about it; this is the first time I've admitted it to anyone.
