Seeing conversations

Post Reply New Topic

I don't do this very quickly nor do I do it for all words I hear, but does anyone else picture parts of conversations, words, as you're hearing them. Like seeing the text???

And then sometimes if you're unable to see the words, like in a complicated or very abstract conversation, wordlike, you're a little lost and miss more stuff???

I don't see text but I do see images of nouns, and of verbs being performed.

Edit: What i mean is, if you say "car" i see a car in my mine.

Sorry. Been up all night. About to start hallucinating.
I think I see some words, but not significant parts of conversations.

Occasionally, yes, I do "see" words as they would appear in text.

No, this doesn't happen to me very often. Occasional visual flashes of text or other pictures do occasionally appear, but that's very infrequent.

After a long social event, when i am laying in bed, i start hearing my friends patterns of speech. I dont hear exactly what theyre saying, but i hear their mannerisms and voice. It is very entertaining.

I focus on the words being said, then I don't see images. But if I focus on the meaning of what's being said, then I see lots of pictures.

Rumour is I'm visual, but I hear the words too... I tend to see situations or objects rather than their corresponding words.

I don't see the actual text but I do see everything in pictures/video. (I take everything very literally too so that can make for some pretty funny mental pictures if I've taken something the wrong way.)

I see text all the time when I listen to people, then I try to apply it to their body language. . . .I've gotten pretty fast at this, but not nearly fast enough. I understand people by "reading" their speech. A lot of words do trigger visual imagery, though. Which is why I don't like swearing from others very much.

Not sure if it's exactly as you say (I don't "see" words literally) but when hearing them I often picture them and see how they're spelled. For example, if someone spells their name differently than how I had expected, it surprises me greatly because it changes the whole "sound/image" for me.

I'm not like any of you. I rarely visualize anything, I just know I can. I am a huge audio thinker. Everything is heard, and conversation is a full mind experience for me; I don't usually think during it. When I do think, it's usually audio-visual or mainly just audio. But I only think during long pauses, and only long enough to think of what to say next (which isn't usually long enough to visualize anything). If I even tryed to think in the middle of a sentence long enough to see a word, it'd break my flow.
