As you'll see, and this sub is not very active, once in awhile some one will post something and you'll relate or not. No need to apologize, the collective "we" have not developed a way to communicate how we think. If this is how other people can process SEEING in their head.? Yeah. I also have ADHD, and I think that’s connected to that.īUT. I constantly constantly constantly have a song playing in my head. I am good at remembering lyrics and names and will often “speed up” or “skip ahead” in my inner music to jump to the line I need. when I’m listening to for example a song from a musical all of the different parts have their artists voices, I can pick them all out, I can pick piano from guitar and melody from harmony. I can hear different instruments, the artists voice and intonation. And i don’t know this song particularly well. I’d say on a scale of 0(hearing nothing) to 10(the exact recording i listened to) I’m probably at a 9 right now. Right now i have the song “if not for you” by shakey graves stuck in my head. My inner voice though, especially around music?īrilliant. or well, I’m still just trying to work it all out. I have a very poor minds eye / visualisation. I’m a few days late here but just jumping in. One drawback/benefit? If I decide to not narrate a story for myself, that memory is gone forever. I have come to realize I am a narrative thinker, who over a lifetime developed tools different than visual thinkers. He did a great write up, his experiences almost mirror mine 100%. I have a harder time comprehending how their brains don't work like mine than thinking I'm missing something. Seriously though, until I read an article, about 3 years ago now, I never thought people were speaking literally. I actually think they're screwing with me. Wife: Yep, She can picture our front door vividly.ĭaughter: She can picture a random door and based on me saying it's a different color, change the image she imagines. Can I actually pull a mental image? Never. I know it's usually rectangular, usually has a knob. Me: I understand perfectly the concept of a door. My understanding is that a majority of people can actually create an image of an object. There are rare times in which I smoke a lot of weed and I can see some 2/3 images with my eyes closed, but they are quite poor in detail. I can kind of draw things with my "mind's hand" and keep track of the trajectory it made in order to make sense of, say, graphics, but there's no image there at all. If I close my eyes I just see the purple/red static without anything to it. My perceived reality is just what my senses capture, not augmentation. the flashbacks were literal mental torture). Overall it's like a translucid second screen over and behind everything, augmenting reality, responding to what you are thinking at the moment and sometimes growing strong enough to overcome reality (and that was why I made an effort to repress it. I could focus on it with my eyes closed, but trying to focus on it with eyes open was harder. It doesn't interfere with daily life, same as this always present nose image. It's similar to the double image you get when looking at your nose, but it's always kind of in the back of your head.
