>>19505626Just for completions sake, I have an inner monologue that literally sounds like my speaking voice talking. I can hear songs just by thinking about them, and I have perfect pitch and can whistle any tune from memory after hearing it once.
I cannot visualize anything in my mind, I can sort of graph things out, maybe at best I see outlines but it feels like I don't really "see" them, it's just that I can "feel" their dimensions, colors, etc.
I'm an computer scientist by trade and I can also "feel" the correct logical structures for code and data structures. Statistics also comes naturally to me. I've never been a gambler because even as a kid I realized you lose more than you win. The exceptions being blackjack and poker.
But visually I'm fucked, I have visual snow. My dreams however are vivid and in color, and I would lucid dream as a child before I even knew what lucid dreaming was.
I've always been in the accelerated/gifted classes in school, my IQ was tested in the 4th grade at around 130.
I'm now in my 30s, I own a home, I have a wife and kid. I'm capable of being a shit-lord on the internet while knowing exactly how to act in public and at work to be "normal" and get ahead. That's not to say I'm lying to anyone like a sociopath, I see it more like code-switching in that I realize most people aren't ready for any meaningful discussions and I can empathize with them, so I shut up about certain topics just to make them more comfortable.
