im curious; do you think in pictures or words?

I think in concepts and images.
Ima try to explain this… but it’s hard bc it’s just the way things have always been for me ig

I get more of the beat stuck in my head, but if I want to I can imagine the singer’s voice. There’s been a few times when I somehow convinced myself that the song was playing irl and it was weeeiird…

I sorta ignore the voice and words and listen to the sounds.

It takes me a second to process what someone said so sometimes I say ā€˜wut?’ Automatically :,) ig I kind of think about the meaning of what I’m going to say, then my mouth magically conjures the words :sparkles::sparkles: or it doesn’t… :,D

Yep, never thought about ppl having noisy dreams until now tbh… my dreams are either a muddle of thought and concepts I experienced throughout the day, or a sort of movie.

Some extra stuff (lots inspired by previous comments):

Everything in my brain is very colorful

I can’t make good sense of words if I’m not visualizing it, like if I read directions and I’m not focused I just see the words, but if I am focused (often over focused drowning out the world around me) I can understand what it means.

I don’t really think in a language, which makes it a little easier to automatically translate stuff. Rn I’m learning French, and instead of going ā€˜chat = cat’ in my brain, I think ā€˜chat/cat = :cat:’. If that didn’t make sense- it’s like learning a language as a baby. I dont relate French words to English words, but to images, concepts, and experiences instead.

ok, im a word thinker and here r sum answers for u!!

reading: i love to read and write, and when i read, i dont picture anything. character descriptions r super hard for me, bc i just imagine they look how their personality is passed as, so if someone is described as blonde but i feel they look like a black haired person, ill picture them as that. so i need to look at fanart and official art to see how they look like :3. my writing descriptions suck, and now you know why !!

memories: memories r weird, tbh. they are fuzzy, and i dont see them from my pov—- isee them as if im a camera on a roof, looking at myself. thats only for older memories tho, for newer ones i ā€œreadā€ talking as if in a book, and images are like a coloured picture, except one that was done lazily.

dreams: ooh boy, my dreams r confusing as fck :sparkles::sparkles: so, when i dream, again, its a bit fuzzy. normally, i see things like it real life, but i can never control what i do. sometimes i also see it feom the whole ā€œcamera on roofā€ thing, but only sometimes. i had no idea how to say this so… hope u liked it <333
