Interesting.. I would love to see how that would work. But don't you think that it is interesting that people might think in a different way completely 🙂🤔

@Curiousguy833: By different you mean?

Well I don't think that everyone thinks the same way, so I find it pretty cool that some people might think in words/ full sentences or the opposite (only images) and am not talking about remembering a memory etc, am talking about analyzing the problem or thoughts when you are in a convo etc.. do you understand what am saying. Maybe I sound crazy I don't know lol

@Curiousguy833: i see. I think in my case, I use both words and 'visuals'. Sometimes words can be superfluous, so one would do better just 'seeing', but words do perhaps have a certain ability of adding clarity or reinforcement to our thoughts, so they may be needed/helpful at times. It's indeed interesting and I don't really know how it actually is, for others, or with complete certainty for myself.
