>How do you remember things?
I don't. As I mentioned in a previous post, without photos to look at, my past is a complete, impenetrable, black hole. I've been aware of this for a very long time, but never thought it strange (I don't know any different). The tape in my head is non-visual and seems to only stretch a few weeks back. Photos are the only way for me to relive these moments.
>How do you read the books without imagining what is happening? How else do you convert letters into meaning?
I was a voracious reader as a child, reading dozens of novels per year. I can't see the story, but I still like hearing it. By the sounds of things I am missing a very large part of what makes reading enjoyable (this makes me sad).
>What happens in your head when someone says "a car"?
I unlock the "car" concept in my mind. This does not include an image. I guess it's the same for you if you think of something with no embodiment such as a taste.
> How do you imagine your future?
I consider things that I think will make me happy and work toward them. No images are part of this.
>And fear is also visual
For me it is visceral. I don't see anything, but am filled with an unpleasant sensation or dread if the fear is strong enough.
- distantaidenn 8y agoThat's the crux. Every thought I have has a visual element. If I think of a perfume, then I'm back in the hotel seeing the person that was wearing it. If I imagine a taste, then I can see the dish.
- ux-app 8y agoman that is wild. I have never experienced something like this. seems pretty awesome.
