      There are also people who are unable to see images in their mind. In case you want to go further down the rabbit hole.

        Do you know if it’s some kind of mental illness? I mean some kind of human abnormality, or do you believe there are a lot of people like that?

          My theory is that there’s no such thing as neurotypical.

          Neurotypical is just the statistical average of all the different ways we’re fucked in the head.

          i.e. Half have anxiety, the other half have depression and we just assume normal is somewhere in the middle.

          We function just fine. Seeing images or hearing voices in your mind is not required for any task I’m aware of.

          My MIL and to some extent my husband are like that. It was painful discussing design plans with them when we reno’d our kitchen. I just started doing mood boards so they could see what I had in my head that I wanted it to look like.

            I’m terrible at decorating!! After 20+ years in my house most of my walls have pictures that are sentimental to me but not visually connected in any way.
