#Not being able to visualize things movie#
When I read books and novels for fun, I'm a slow reader as I visualize the scenes in my head (often with actors I'm familiar with and enjoy, especially if it's a movie I've seen like when I re-read Lord of the Rings last year). It never even occurred to me that others might not be able to visualize things - though I have often wondered what visualizing would look like if someone grew up never watching TV or movies?Ī follow up question. When I saw this poll, I closed my eyes and vividly recreated being in my house and petting the new kitten, him rolling over (at my mental command) to let me scratch his belly, and then his sudden and wild transformation into a massive, green-furred Battle Cat! I climbed his back and burst out of the house into the snow. I never thought anything about it, it's just a mental exercise to entertain myself while I wait for sleep to happen. Usually I have a running story going that I'm telling/showing myself, like a movie, and it's just like real life. Whenever I go to sleep I always "show myself a movie" is how I have always fallen asleep. If I don't listen to something, my brain will just play music (often video game music) extremely clearly, on a loop, forever and ever. if I am left to myself without distractions, my brain will do the distractions for me, forcing me through (often negative) scenarios, despite being blurry and dream-like.
it's really weird, but it's more like the solution works itself in my head and the ideas just "pops" and I intrinsically know what I have to do.Īnd same with the daydreams.
since I'm a programmer by trade, I have an extremely difficult time visualizing solutions to the problems I'm solving. It just comes naturally to me, despite not visualizing it.
#Not being able to visualize things how to#
Like I love in Zelda games fitting together the entire dungeon spatially in my mind, figuring out how to solve everything. This is almost exactly my experience, hahah. I imagine though my ADHD doesn't help, as my mind very easily gets distracted and trying to focus on visual imagery is not something my brain wants to do in the first place. I can remember almost every face I've ever seen but I cannot for the life of me visualize them. It's also fleeting, it's hard for me to stay focused on it. Trying to visualize anything and it's just.
Pondered this before but I'm pretty sure I'm on the lower-end of the hypophantasia, similiar to how you describe it OP.
