    I’m almost the exact opposite. I hear everything when I think. I don’t picture 99.9% of my thoughts. I think in sounds. Not all thoughts are languages, but all thoughts are sounds. Even the very very few I have pictured. The thoughts in languages are numerous at a time and constant, as though forever lightning in bottle. I love it. It sounds kind of like the matrix looks.

      are you capable of visualizing things? some time ago i learned that most people apparently can literally see things they picture in their head, which is something i’m only barely capable of doing if i close my eyes and relax.

      Like i can summon the image of a basic shape and make it rotate at a consistent speed, that’s it. But then when i’m extremely relaxed and almost about to fall asleep, or when i’m dreaming, i literally just see my imagination as if i’m looking at the real world.

      However what i can do is “visualize” extremely well with the sense of proprioception (the thing that lets you know where your hands are in relation to the rest of your body), so i can rotate objects in my headspace and walk through physical spaces. I can’t see anything in there, but i’m fully aware of the shape of things and i simply remember what colour things are.
