learning that people canโt imagine how things look or donโt have an internal monologue is like discovering a new species. literally wtf how do you live like this

I honestly thought people were trolling but it feels like too many people are in on the joke for it to be fake ๐ซจ

I am very very low on this โvisualizationโ spectrum. I will absolutely never see a person or thing in my mind unless I actively force myself to do it. And the image is not super vivid when I do. At the same time, I seem to be *extra* sensitive to the visual things around me. Especially light. So maybe this is related? When something or someone is mentioned, instead of seeing anything I primarily get a very strong โfeelingโ about its unique set of โqualitiesโ and how they relate to the context weโre in. To the question of โhow can you live like this?โ Iโd answer โ I donโt think Iโd like to change it actually. Probably most of all bc much of the way that I am is built around this. Itโs fascinating how minds work so differently. (PS - I have super strong internal monologue, and will often hear things. Like the timbre of someoneโs voice or something. Much more so than images)

I feel like a strong 1. I wonder if this strong contrast is why I struggle articulating thoughts clearly in realtime since my thoughts usually come to me at a much faster rate than I can speak. Also non visual information is usually the first to escape my memory, like numbers and quantitative features
