One thing I'm learning from this thread is maybe some people can visualise but it takes them effort?
Strange to imagine minds that are not one's own.
Imo its just a different thing.
Like, 1 or 2 here with sort of moving images like memories, sounds, conversations.
I still listen to interviews despite being able to make up convos in my head. I watch comedy despite being able to make up jokes and funny stories.
I watch movies despite being able to visualise whatever i want.
I mean for me it's like a checklist. But it goes by fast. Like I'll list the characteristics and then apply them to a kind of "3D model" in my head.
Or I'll just use past objects from my memory. I've seen lots of apples in my life, lol.
This sounds familiar.
I mean, one thing is to imagine an apple, imagining moving people is on a while another level.
