Rec | LIKE A WEIRD 3RD PERSON POV

😃

Rec'd on 🍎 DO YOU SEE WORDS, IMAGES OR NOTHING WHEN YOU THINK?

i can see images perfectly fine, but i feel like im looking at it from a 3rd person perspective. like im looking at myself looking at the thing... weird also fun fact: your friend might have a form of aphantasia, which is an inability to visualize images

The creative Abilities of the mind

i was thinking about this bc my mind fills in what i think a profile picture looks like when i only see it in the mini size and then it usually looks completely different when i actually see it in full size i don't think i explained that very well but i just think that the mind is so wonderful and i don't really understand how it works but i appreciate it nonetheless (or perhaps moreso because of the sense of mystery)

Me, I see things

But I play D&D with a variety of people. As a DM running the game I've learned over the years that you're basically the narrator to the 5 senses for each player's character. So I've upped my descriptor game to give context. That's when I learned that some players have no internal visuals or dialogue... So I have to show them or they can't even guess what a goblin may look like. Many see words. I see them glance down and look as tho they're reading as I describe the world around them. Then I'm not sure if they sorta see it or not. Many also can visualize pretty well, but younger people seem to have no real concept of dimensions. A 30' by 30' room means nothing to them as a reference. Other peoples brains I think are designed to confuse me. lol But I've been alive 4 decades and my own brain baffles me enough sometimes

mostly Auditory rather than visual in nature and the largeness of being in content

Which is odd for me because my recall memory is very very visual. I seem to narrate what I'm saying, which is also how I read stories, in my own voice either right before or while I'm saying/typing something (like this for instance). The way I hear it is in the same slightly tonal pattern in which I talk, seems very real and normal. I also tend to think about thinking a lot and getting in the weeds in the WHYs of everything. Whether it's my anxiety or other diagnoses, my brain really wants to focus on something I don't understand until I figure it out and there are just way too many things in the world in which that does not mesh with the reality of our dumb little human brains. I think a lot about how we are both electric sacks of meat and gas and rock and perhaps some other 4th thing that somehow can fathom at least the existence of the universe.
