I have to ask - in what way do you think about stuff? Especially whem you need to be mindful of a process or remember something?
I still think in words and images, but there is no voice.
Something else that came up in previous discussions. I remember emotional response more than specific things. For example, my wife can remember what we wore, what we ate, and other specifics, of a date we had years ago. I barely remember even the location, but I can easily recall that I was happy about the date, but there was some mild frustration early on, something about the restaurant, but then feeling better about it later.
I say this and my wife says, "Oh yeah, we were annoyed because we had reservations but still had to wait 20 minutes, but then we were given an appetizer."
However, before my comments, she couldn't recall if we liked the place or not.
I'll remember if I liked someone, but not why or even their name.
Mine is just chunks of info or ideas. My coworkers think this is why i talk a lot unfiltered- because i don't hear how it will sound it in my head before it comes out of my mouth. There's a little test online that was going around for awhile where you try to visualize a red star and grade it 1-5.
