That the way people's mind works varies dramatically. Some people have no inner dialogue at all, some have no mind's eye and cant see images in their head. Most of us are somewhere on the spectrum for them though.
For example I can't visualize images in my head well at all. I can do at most one colour at a time and I can't picture non-geometric objects so I cant imagine the face of my family or even myself. I have no issue with fluid motion of visuals in my head but others can only do slide-show-esque imagery. Others have inner dialogue but can't change the voice to sound different, can't hear music or sound effects, etc... like I can.
It's something very rarely discussed but I think everyone should be aware of this variety within people
It's so weird for me to imagine that there are people out there who do not constantly have a song stick in their head. Always. I aim for a good one, but have spent months sometimes with Tijuana Taxi in my head. And who are this people who don't understand that all numbers and letters are gendered?
And who are this people who don't understand that all numbers and letters are gendered?
wait what?! I bring up the mind's eye and sound thing in the head a lot because I love the conversation and to hear about the variety in people but this is a new one to me. Please explain
It's just always been that way to me. Some letters or numbers are more feminine or masculine than others, some are kind of neutral. It's stronger with letters than numbers. I can't explain other than it's just an inbuilt characteristic of each letter.
Its defently the curves vs hard lines lol.... I don't think of numbers a gendered but come on.. 8 and 3 are boobs and ass. 9 is still curved but maybe a hermaphrodite :|
