When I have to learn something like a sentence or a word I remember were it is placed on the page but not the sentence itself
same!!!
Oh my gosh! Yes! So totally me! And when I remember a certain part of a book that I liked, I remember where on whatever page it was!
Same
trueee i never knew someone else is like this too
True
Is it just me it does anybody have this happen to you
When your at school or at home or wherever you are, your drawing something specific or just maybe random, you have it all thought out in your head and you think it's going to turn out perfect, then you draw it out and it looks so terrible. Like, you had this feeling like you had it all thought out perfectly and then completely fail at it. ??? Anyone???
This happens to me all the time. I'm just generally bad at getting my ideas out, whether it be through speech, writing, or drawing. The worst part is, after I finish poorly explaining my idea, it will flee from me. When I get an idea, I immediately have to write down a brief description, or at least a few key words that describe it, or I may lose it forever.
Happens to me all the time. You aren't alone. My body craves drawing, sounds kinda funny, but then it looks like absolute shit unless I have a reference to what I am drawing.
It's called not being artistic. Everyone can think of what the Mona Lisa looks like, that doesn't mean that everyone can paint it.
Yes, I imagine in my mind what I'm going to draw, I try it, and it looks like crap.
Well see I give it more thought and understand what I'm doing and it may look better than what I thought
I have a weird question to you guys. When I hear a voice, either in the radio or anything. I see what the person looks alike. My imagination may be wrong, or right. And another thing, when I read maybe magical and mystical books that describe their location, I either imagine myself IN that location or the person the book was speaking about in that location. Are some of you related to me? No? I'll see
Putera Haziman Yes, same here.
same here, that is why I read a lot of books. I feel like I have lived a lot more than others :)
I thought I was the only one!
👌👌👌👌
I am also like that xD like when I read a book or when someone tells me something with the place it happened (you know like they explain it was two streets after that etc) I see it rigth at that moment before me I imagine it at the same time xD
Buzzfeed is really good at making you feel special when you're really not
lol
LOL
everyone is special :)
Lol😂😂The sad thing is ur right
It's Ze Franks voice does it for me. He sounds like the scarecrow from mumfie
now I don't feel bad that I can figure out how to get somewhere only by trees and houses before street names
buddy power omg same!!
same !! 😁
lmao same
Well because we can't remember the street name at all :)))
F*ck street names!
I can PRECISELY visualize what page a certain thing is on, including how the paragraphs look on the page. I can remember if something is on the floor, in the corner, under a stack of hats and shoes, and precisely stick my hand in the mess and pull it out. I can recall completely conversations, and who was walking around me while the conversation was going on.
that must be sad.
Dude, same with me like no fucking joke!
you must have it easy with tests in school
man, i'm jealous.
Teach me master!!!
when u r a visual thinker but can't draw
Update: so I don't even remember writing this comment but just letting u know I can draw now, each painting I make is better then the one before it, yall can too 🫂🤝🏽
lol like me
Shiver Phillips Don't give up, keep practicing!
:******( sucks so bad!!!! Ive always said if only i could draw id be drawing the coolest stuff ever .
Me
Oh yes, I began to hate it so much, that I began to practice drawing daily ;) still at the beginning though
This went from a interesting test to a history lecture xD
LMAO IKR
Lol.. Yea!XD But still interesting to watch until the end..
XxAngryPineapplexX exactly
Lol yeah
Some people don’t know so it’s important to make sure everyone does.
when I'm trying to fall asleep at night, I automatically start playing like video games and stuff in my mind
same 😂
It is the same with me, too.
+Rachel Green same
I think I need to upgrade because my mind plays nothing else than a rubiks cube :P .
But in general I am blessed to never forget any route or way :)
+Rachel Green I just go to sleep i could if i want but no
I'm a definite visual thinker,
Literally when I bring up an old memory I remember everything around me.
I remember EVERYTHING
Like who was across, the hall. What we where talking about. What time if day was it. Who say infront of us, how loud it was, the lighting.
But then I talk to someone and I'm like "asldkfjhguwirltousnsjs"
CPSG productions Yes, I know that.
Garcia2fab That's the exact same thing with me. I can also change angles and like, watch it as if it was a video with wicked camera angles
Rin Kagamine IKR? Do people tell you "I never understand what you're talking about 95% of the time." Or something like it? It freaking sucks...
Jeseppi and Kendra I've never actually told anyone I do that a lot. But they'd probably think I'm weird, just like the fact I can mimic someone's voice in my head, and make them say random stuff.
Me! I can never explain anything bc I have an entire detailed image in my head and most people don't comprehend it. If only people were able to see the image in my head!
I write fiction that way. When a story comes to me, I watch it like a movie in my head. Then when I write the story, I just describe what I saw. Of course, I can never get what's in my head exactly or completely into words, but hey... not every day is a Sunday, as they say.
Me too.
Me toooo
Isn't this how all stories are made?... I'm so confused with this "visual thinking." Do you mean to say that there are people who don't see pictures in their heads?
same 😊
Me tooooo
I am most definitely a visual thinker. Here's an example:
Me: You know the thing... With the thing on it, that does the thingy with the thing am a whatzit?
Person: What the heck are you talking about??
lmaoo meee
YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!
Dat is what I say to
Ma friends xD
YAS!!! DEFINITELY. So inconvenient.
yep that's me
Everyone is often surprised at how much I remember from when I was very, very young. It's always the same thing; I can clearly see the place where I was, the faces of the people I was with, and what we were all doing at that time.
I can remember things since I was 2 or 3
☮AmnaLuvsCookies☮ I can remember scenes from that age too!!
OMG I HAVE FOUND SOMEONE! I am not alone!!! My entire life I have been able to recall events in time in detail even from when I was a small child but all those memories are in images.
+grand isel NO WAY!!!! It's gotta be a thing then!
That happens to me too!!!
How does one not visualize stuff in their head in order to help aid them in their thinking process? I honestly thought that was normal for everyone.
Me 2 I was creeped about how meny of my friends dident know this
+rsuriyop Being an artist is a plus too!
+rsuriyop As he said, it's a spectrum. For some people the tendency to do it comes more easily than it does for others.
+aywancfc Vision is also a dominant sense for humans. We use it navigate and understand our world. Which is why it makes sense that individuals who have lost their ability to see tend to experience higher levels of stress and anxiety compared to those who have not. Seems natural to me that our cognitive experiences reflect our real-life experiences.
That was what I originally thought as well
Whenever I read a book, I'm not looking at the book or the pages or the words, I'm watching a movie inside my head instead. Whenever I hear a completely new song and I listen to the lyrics, I picture a story inside my head. I can also remember things like if I go on a journey, I can remember every single road and building we pass by perfectly but I can never remember names of streets or areas. Also if I'm at an airport or a train station etc I always imagine possible stories of peoples lives. Idk does anyone else do this?
I do it ,and it can be annoying sometimes cuz you see someone you know you ve seen before ,you clearly remember his face but you have to spend a few minutes to remember the name of that person .Also I travell a lot and whenever I come back to a place where I ve been before ,I can easily remember the look of the streets and how to get to any place , but I dont even know most of the names of places in my city .
me too, i remember I was listening to one of my favorite songs (didn't see the video) and imagined as a little story. and when I was reading a book Stargirl i always imagined it all in my head. Also whenever I'm in a car with my dad and I look out the window it's like i was in that place ,we passed, before. :)
Same, that is why I love reading so much, I make a movie in my head. I wonder how boring it could be to just look at words when you read instead of actually imagining them.
+Eve C yeees same
Omg I thought that was just me that did this!!because when I told my friends once, they didn't do that. Also when you see the movie it ruins ALL the characters and expectations you made for what it would be like...
wait so there's people who don't visualise things while thinking? what omg I thought everyone did
+Maria Monteiro Moggre Same!
Yep! I think its weird that ppl Dont do that! And they call US the weird ones? Where do they think ideas, tech, entertainment, medicine, inventions, new foods, etc, comes from? We're Visionaries! They use the stuff WE might come up with! But theyre jealous cause they CANT! We're not weird, they are! We're SMART! ;) :)
I can't create visual images in my head, it's just darkness. I thought it was normal up until a year ago. I feel so left out D:
+Maria Monteiro Moggre I can't but I can vizualize dreams and thoughts but not memories
+Tessa Hardy Whaaaaaat?!?! You can't see memories??!?!?!?!?!!? Or anything in your head? You can't make those little movies in your head, and watch them?
Here comes the 'Oh , that's just like me' people.
That's what I was thinking hahaha. You're correct!
That's just like me
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
Spencer Holmes I like this, you get a thumb up your butt
The comments section exists for a reason captain obvious. Not only that but the narrator of the video specifically asked viewers if they were visual thinkers.
When I listen to music I see a colour movie of what's happening in the song. If it's just an instrumental piece, my mind makes up a video to go with it. When I read a novel I see a movie as I read the words.
Don't ask me to remember nouns or pronouns, though; like when whatshisname gave that thingamajig to his sister; or was she his cousin...
I DO THE SAME THING. Whenever I listen to music I somehow create a "video" to go along with it. Maybe you should see if you are interested in directing as a profession? Seems like this could come in handy. Lol :)
ME TOO
The fact that you see kind of "music video" in you mind while listening to music means you probably have a form of the neurological fenomenon synesthesia, called chromesthesia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia#Chromesthesia . Seeing a "movie" in your head while reading a book just means you have a good imagination, which might indicate that you are a visual thinker.
Ngegota thanks for sharing that.
Same here
I have difficulty remembering names and faces when growing up. But I can remember my very first memories when I fell from stares at around 2-3 yrs old and crying so loud when I was smaller than a pillow, my aunt came and left me ... The time when I was crying, I remember some words yet I cannot speak, like " you can t leave me here, I'm just a baby!"
Now, I have difficulty socializing with people, I became so shy I d rather stay at home. Because there s something in my head, like a world and people in it, a beautiful world, that every time I close by eyes alot of things happening, scenes I create and destroy, the recreate it again. Sometimes I imagine a world I never thought of, and keeps my hanging sometimes... My imagination kicks soo much I never stop sketching and describing it through paper since I was a child.
I also had dreams I remember from a long time ago, when I was in high school... An old house near a swamp or lake surrounded by trees, near it there s a big rock with grasses and flower in it .. And further away there a a sea.
And there s next scene, when I was in that sea... I see a boy falling from the sky and drown deep in the sea... And I can't even drown, I'm standing on the water. The sky is blue, but the sea is like a tsunami.
Hrist Suyo I dnt even know if I watched too much movies and stuff... I just idk.
Hrist Suyo Whoa... Maybe it's prophetical... I had dreams when I was younger and lived through some of them recently. You never know...
Hrist Suyo You are an Auditory thinker. It's easy for you to learn by heart by creaming out loud because you remember how you pronounce and say things. It's easy for you to be distracted by sounds or noises when reading (while visual thinkers get too deep in their reading and don't hear anything but their own inner voice). If you are still at school, you may realise that when your teachers are talking, you don't even need to look at them but you lead your ears to their locations (while visual thinkers can't help looking at their teachers).
Q HO i easily get distracted by noise. but i cnt learn without seeing my teacher first while she 's doing her lesson. i learn less when i only hear my teacher's voice. so i got to look at her and read her every movement, even without noises around me and doing stuff,im still distracted, my imagination kicks....i cnt even concentrate when reading book. it takes time for me to finish.
that's why i rather read a short story, because the moment a story became longer.... myimagination interprets it very differently, than the actual story.... it'slike im rewriting the story myself in mymind.
in the end, i still get the story wrong.
Sometimes when I'm bored I create stories in my head to keep me busy. For example: A girl walks into a bar and she meets this guy. But in my head I see the characters doing the actions that I'm thinking. And what makes me angry is that when I try to put those stories on paper it doesn't look as good as the pictures in my head.
We are sooo similar.
This is unrelated, but whenever I read a book or an article, or even listen to someone talking, my mind creates slightly vague images of what I'm hearing or reading.
Me too
Me too!
Me too!
Lol same
Isn't that normal?
I AM A VISUAL THINKER. I CAN WALK IN A HUGE AREA WITH THE LIGHTS OFF AND THE ROUTE CAN BE MAPPED IN MY HEAD. I NEVER REMEMBER NAMES OF PLACES, BUT GOD DAMMIT WHY IS IT IMPORTANT! I CAN DRIVE FROM RUSSIA TO JAPAN WITH MY EYES CLOSED AND NOT KNOW THE NAME OF A SINGLE HIGHWAY.
BEEN THIS WAY SINCE BIRTH.
you should open your eyes/turn your lights on, find caps lock and turn it off
Why?
Super awesome joke there bro
you and i are rare beings.
SAME (I'M DOING THIS IN CAPITALS TO FIT IN!! =D)
This whole video is basically all about me. I can't explain the images in my mind without drawing them. I can't understand anything in class if the teacher doesn't writes it on board. My friends usually say that they don't need to study because they are listen but even if I concentrate I don't understand anything unless there is a visible explanation. Also I always feel mentally alone, it's not like that I don't have any friends, but I feel that they don't understand me and they all seem insanely dumb to me, SOMETIMES EVEN TEACHERS. I always have the feeling that I think differently from others, I feel like I'm from a different dimension or something.
This is totaaally me :D
Same, I actually never knew this about myself😊😨
KeyOff Siren Same
KeyOff Siren The same thing happens to me. I'm always confused unless I see a good visual. And when I do group projects, I can't explain my ideas. I try to draw but I can't.
Olly Ogbue ikr :/
Does anyone ever get images stuck on loop in your head? It's kind of difficult to explain, but it's like a few seconds of film is buffering/looping over and over again in your head. It sometimes happens when I'm daydreaming. For example, I once couldn't stop visualising a man slipping on a banana peel (over and over again!). It gets real damn old.
bert1029 I had that a few days ago! I was remembering a movie scene and it wouldn't stop replaying in my mind, it was strange but it made me laugh. It happens so much but I don't think I'll ever get bored of it XD
Yay, now I don't feel so completely strange!
bert1029
Ikr, I was replaying me trying to kick the tennis ball with my leg but it kept on moving past my leg over and over and I couldnt get it to stop. That's the down part
OMG i thought it was only me, it happens quite a lot in my dreams when i am about to wake up : because i am begining to understand that i am dreaming and i try to take control of the plot and the characters it gets stuck on an image at some point, usually a movement
One time an image of a girl doing a cartwheel wouldn't get out of my head
I feel like I think too much. I could be walking to a shop and thinking of what to eat for dinner, then I end up thinking of my insignificance compared to the universe and question my entire existence.
Anyone else like this?
sometimes I start thinking about random stuff while walking in the streets and then when I come back to reality i have no idea where i am.
Holy snap, yeah.
So me !!!
That's me on the internet, clicking on stuff and being like, "OOOOOOOH COOOOOOL"
That's called 3 AM
I am so identified with this video, I have trouble speaking to others of what I think, I don't remember people's names but I know exactly what their face was like, I also remember some insignificant scenes with no worth but I don't remember important stuff. I builded a whole fantasy world in my head and and i've made movies too in my head. But I'm a music man, I'm a drummer.
Yeah I do this all the time :)
Cow man go moo Me too!
Same! Except with me, I constructed a mind palace c:
Holy shit I thought I was the only one, I produce complex stories and movies in my head.
Peace Keeper lol
I draw complex digital art in my head. I'll have made a full drawing (layers and all), and people will think I'm weird.
+Neon Season I love your art style!
BristleBlu Aw thank you!
+Neon Season Glad to know I'm not the only one owo!
I would usually plan out what layers to use for what, and how I'm going to sketch everything
R/iamverysmart
you're not weird
i do the same all the time
along with watching weird animations in my head
I'm a visual thinker, i can tell when things can't fit and I can make simple creations in my head!
XD same here and I'm deeply bad at names I never get to remember them after 25 days I do
I forget names after 1 min only so I think I am genius :)
I'm bad remembering people name but never their faces ofc if we were friends owo
+IlAkuxkaralI yes if I see someone once or something I am like: Oh is that (name)because he has that hairstyle ooh is that (name) with the green eyes
i relate.
what?! do people not remember things in pictures???
lool I'm asking myself the exact same question as you!
I thought that thinking in pictures was normal for everyone? isn't that what using your imagination is all about? what the hell do other people think in???
I'm also the type that when I read a book I create a movie in my head and can visualise what I'm reading.
Being able to visualise things and being a visual thinker is very different. Everyone can visualise things. I am a very visual thinker, if i have to remember say 20 words, i would right them out in different colours and in an arrangement around the page ( like grouping small words together, and longer ones together) i dont really memorise the words but how they look on the page. so if i have to say what the words are, i can see the page in my head, and see which word is next to which or how they related to each other. The memory is more how things relate together in a spacial arrangement, not neccesarily the actual details. Most of my revision notes for uni are just random diagrams that make no sense to anyone or pictures with bright coloured words randomly spread about
JJRISIA Your method is very much similar to the way I learn.
yeah, im wondering how not remembering things in pictures is possible
maps600 Maybe you remember the words, or the image you do remember is almost fuzzy or abstract. You can remember the feelings that a moment left you, you could remember the events in a step by step manner but not really remember exactly what it looked like. There are many ways to remember things, visual is only a part of it. People who don't have a good visual memory will rely more on the other forms.
do you think its weird if I remember a dream almost perfectly from when I was like 3?
Much worse.
This is really weird re-living it like this but it's kinda scary how well I remember stuff and in detail. I can play entire movies in my head with all the different characters voices. When I read a book I hear the characters speaking in voices that I associate them with and scenes play out in my head, even if there wasn't a movie of it, I make it up. It's really odd 😂
Don't worry I can remember a lot of dreams form when I was around 3-5 but then not ones from say last week 😂
+Immy Collins Actually that is a really handy quality to have. :D
+Immy Collins same here ;)
+Skylar Bargett Haha nope it's not. I still remember a few dreams, especially one. It was a nightmare and I dreamed that the bush downstairs in the garden was evil and would come for me.... yeah xD Do you also have more memories from that age than from your early school time? Like more detailed ones?
I can think of a really well drwan image then go to draw and... yeah, it doesn't look good.
+Nintendogs Poppy So true! I always get these amazing images, ideas..and the when I try to draw it...the only thing that comes out is poop
+Dancin Muffin same
That's true
Me when i daydream. I picture something awesome in my head, but then I get sad because I know I can't draw it.
Me too lol
Definitely a visual thinker. I've always thought so. It's been nearly impossible to convey properly what I'm thinking to the majority of people I've met in my life.
same
Same
Same and I can’t explain directions for the life of me… only how places look relative to others
I'm so mind blown right now....didn't think my thing had a name lol
The way I express my thoughts is through writing.
how many things did you invent?
Me too :)
im exacly like this vidoe.......and i have invented something just i dont have a patten because im 13
Lol, me also!!
I don't know why, but I've always thought in colors, like if I hear a word, any word, like... The word game, I think of the color dark green. Or the month December I think of dark blue. It's... Weird... Does anyone else think like this, because I tell my friends this, and they all think I'm weird... •_•
You have color synesthesia (Google it to learn more) its normal but not really common my dad has it and we thought he was crazy until I found out what It was called
OMG thanks ^-^ I've always been so confused why I do this
+KikiGurl129 xD
For me, it depends on the word. Certain words trigger color thoughts for me, while others trigger certain feelings or images that are totally unrelated to the original word. Does anyone else get these feelings there are no words for, or which you cannot express in words? Sometimes I think I can describe them to others but then I give up.
I'm the same. I also lay out words in my head, for example the months of a year are laid out in a long line and each word has a colour. January: yellow, February: light green etc. Even peoples names are represented by colour or sometimes shapes.
I wish I had this. I draw pretty decently but only when I have a refference. My visual memory is pretty bad, I have auditory memory, I don't really enjoy it. I envy people who have a really good photogenic memory, they tend to be the ones who need less studying time and can still ace tests. Imagining amazing things, seeing things clearly in their minds, having the most vivid dreams. Oh gosh my life would be so much easier! But, alas, I am stuck with remembering what people say. The cool thing is being able to use their words against them, having proof and quoting exactly what they said, or remembering what the teacher explained in class :P
I thinj the problem lies in the difference between visual thinking and visual memory. They are not the same. And for the photogenic memory, these people lack the logical relations that are mostly necessary for using the learnt matter. As in the Paper Chase the professor Kingsfield said: Photogenic memory? That is of absolute no use for you.
Your not the only one.
You just pretty much made my life sound like the most amazing thing. lol I do enjoy my dreams, I feel like I could turn a lot of them into movies.
derontae23 nice
derontae23 I listen to my visual thinker best friend's dream all the time, they're so interesting and cool, mine suck so bad xd
It is quite helpful in exams especially when it comes to memorizing. I close my eyes and visualize the things I have to memorize and somehow connect them together, so it's like I'm creating a video in my head.
I'm a visual thinker...
YA!!!! VISUAL THINKERS UNITE!!!!
this is 100% me, when i was younger i got so mad at my mom sometimes for cleaning my room and it made me cry, i came back from a 10 day trip to a room that was completely foreign, i didn't even know where anything was and it made me so mad. i spent about 2 hours putting everything back, and i was exhausted after the 10 day trip so you can guess how happy i was to do that. lol, this is also how i remember where everything i own is. i have 2 spots my wallet might be 3 spots for pencils, 2 spots for paper, and the list goes on, and when something isn't in one of those spots i have imagined in my brain i blame someone for moving it and get frustrated. even though sometimes i get distracted and set something down in a place i didn't mean too!
i am also a master at tangrams. i can just look at the tangram and figure out how the shapes fit before i even start experimenting, i see the shapes in my mind and move them around to try to make them fit... nobody has ever beaten my at tangrams. im sure there are people who can but my point is that im really good at visually thinking
same. some parents cant understand that which sucks
I can close my eyes, after looking at a room, and then I can explore it in my mind, so it doesn't matter if everything is perfectly organized, I will remember where I put it, and when I put it there, and then I can find things instantly... So my spaces are usually very organized
I know right! My room may be messy but i know exactly where things are! When my mom cleans my room its so annoying cause i cant find things im looking for!
prerana adhikari I wish my mom cleaned my room 😆😆
I HAVE FINALLY FOUND AN EXPLANATION. I am literally the worst public speaker because I know what I want to say, I just can't figure it out how to say it! Oh, and, noob tip, when you want to remember something, just mentally take a picture like everything else, it's hell of a lot easier then just memorizing it
When the example of the messy desk came up I knew this was me. This also made me think back at times when I couldn't explain something clearly to people...now I know why.
The hardest thing is that you are a visual thinker but YOU CAN'T EVEN DRAW A PROPER STICK MAN WITH NO DETACHED PARTS
Call me a strange one, but i often play tetris in my head.
You know you have ptsd when he tells you to think of event from your past and a traumatizing event instantly pops up...
+notch747 Yeah, he said that and I was like, "No. Please. Let's not. There it is."
right! i instantly thought of wen my dad died 🙁
Im sure everyone wanted to know about that
Omg yeah
Beginning to down an almost 90 degree, 25 foot water slide when the water shuts off, and all that there is keeping you from falling to your impending doom is a scrawny and terrified teenage lifeguard grabbing you by the hair and back of your swimsuit. I dangled like a hanged man, looking down at the flaming hot concrete and decorative jagged boulders two and a half stories below me.
Yes I am. *:D*
When I was younger, I would imagine fake objects or people and place them everywhere...When I read books, it plays as a movie. And, it turns out that I can read very well. I was listening to some music I had never heard before (the white birch) I imagined a story...;) how do you guys see or do these things?
Exact same thing!
Emily Thomason :D
Yes, I do the same exact things!
I actually imagined you doing all these things even though I don't know what you look like:) and I can relate when I read a book it's basically a movie and when I hear a song I imagine a music video or something and I thought every body was like this... How do you imagine things with words? What the freak ?!
Gottalovebeauty 1 :D
This is how all BuzzFeed videos should be.
Now I know I'm a visual thinker, but I have a big problem... I want to write a story but I don't know how to express myself while writing T-T
same
Im a visual thinker myself, and love to write stories, and something that I found helpfull is writing the story with simple notes for me (words that trigger your visual thinking) so I get how the story goes.
for example:
Story begins in town1, stranger things fell from the sky, regular guy went to check it out and never came back.
Meanwhile in your mind there are many ways this story can go on....write the main ideas and later add the details (names, backgrond story, etc)
Also there are plenty youtube vids to get tips to write better.
And if you do it constantly you will improve every time so dont give up
+David Mendoza !!!
+David Mendoza Thank You you helped me a lot with this !!
Finally! Someone has accurately explained how my backpack works.
It's not messy. Everything is in order, just relative to other things that may or may not be related to them based on the time I put said objects in my bag.
I barely ever remember faces or names, unless I've known the person for a while, but I remember events perfectly. I could replay such an event in my head from 5, 10, or even 20 years ago perfectly. I also see static, but that's another topic ~
I'm the EXACT opposite -.-
Though, I also see static...
I see energy.
every single person is a visual thinker, you're just trying to make us fell special. If you want to be big, go do the hard work with passion
I'm really not...I basically just think in vague notions and emotions and have trouble picturing things accurately. But I get on fine.
yeahhhh but you're a talking dog?!
Leon Gackenheit
Typing at least.
Mmm No. Some people don't remember things as vividly as visual thinkers do at least when it comes to the visual aspect of the memory. Some people think differently, just like how some people dream in color and others don't.
Of course you think that way. A person who is well spoken, with a good vocabulary or with logical and mathematical skills is seen as intelligent in the western world. Look up Howard Gardners multi-intelligence theory. It should give you a different perspective. It helped me understand how I learn the best and what my strong sides are which comes in very handy when studying and working on projects with my classmates :)
This is exactly how I think as well, but when talking to people I tend to 'switch'
into a different way of thinking in order to express my thoughts, Best of both :)
one time I watched all of the three lord of the rings in my head over 12 maths lessons. I remembered them from when I watched them. at the moment I'm working through harry potter
omg! your photographic memory is AMAZING!!!
+Shreyashi V. thank you
np :) i wish i could have photographic memory that good!
***** no? why do you say that?
+Anonymous Iguana You're thinking of eidetic memory
i thought i was the only one at this, i thought having a messy desk is like organized to me because i know where everything is at when it's messy, but when my mom randomly comes in and cleans it, i get extremely lost and confused of where things are even though its more visible and clear to other people where things are at
this..it drives me crazy.. my hubby is the opposite, it needs to be tidy..but what I don't understand is that when he tidies around the house, the moment it is no longer visible it is ok for him.But for me it needs to be perfectly organised behind the cupboard doors, whilst in the room I mind less
I play the guitar.
If I learn a new song (or whtever it's called) I don't remember the CDEFGAHC stuff, but I remember where that thing is I need.
I can't explain.
wow me too I've been playing guitar for 5 years now. I can solo in all the scales I want, but I only know which note is CDEFGA if is on the first or last string because they are the same.
Wat omg me too!
☺☻♥123maarten123♥☻☺ Same. And I don't know any name of chords since my 3-4 years of guitar.
☺☻♥123maarten123♥☻☺ Same here! 5 years of guitar playing. And no one understands how I can play without any knowledge of music theorie.
☺☻♥123maarten123♥☻☺ Me too, when I came back to school after the holidays, I had forgotten my locker combinations. However, as I turned the dial to do my code, my fingers 'knew' the movements to make to be able to do the code.
This is literally 100% me. Ive always had great trouble with words but can easily get the point across if i draw or am able to show something
I talk with my hands holding phantom objects if I can't draw it or make it on a computer.
this is also me. i can write really easily complex code and equations, but when it comes to writing a simple letter, or explaining in words something, i always fail.
who else is a visual thinker like me
+Rushil Balgobind meee
Me...
I am
me too
i am but wasting my time playing league of legends
Also called: ADHD, Autism, OCD. YW ;)
Oh god. The desk thing
messy table pretty much sums up 99.99% of people in earth
Sometimes when I have to study words for a test I remember myself sitting at my desk and seeing the asked word on the paper
In college i used acronyms to remeber a list of names in groups
I'm a visual thinker but sometimes i feel like its just a thing we make up to excuse our bad memory and computation in other areas. Like i never cared about spelling when i was young and just doodled but that was a mistake that i payed for.
Thank you! My desk is messy because I know where everything is. I really hate when someone comes along and messes up my organization. Because the way I think is in pictures, I remember the exact place and where I put it is in relation with other objects. I remember how my desk looked with the things together.
Its why I disliked college so much. Because I needed to be able to manipulate the world around me. I think in moving words and pictures in my mind. I am a writer, but am constantly seeing a movie being played out in my head. I am not writing, I am filming in my mind.
I am autistic and I almost exclusively think in pictures. That's a reason why it's so hard for me and other autists to communicate.
I also have a few forms of synethesia and most of them have to do with my visual sense
+walkthemoon Same here!
same here! i once used my mind to search for something on the internet... or the intermind or whatever!
+walkthemoon Same here. I have HFA and I NEED a visual representation to understand, and use that image to convey what I think effectively to other people. The challenge to be successful in this extroverted world is difficult, and even more so with how to utilize and obtain resources to aid to that succession.
This is why for exams I make sure I minimise my notes from a book onto an A3 sheet and then into a tiny mini sheet. I remember the main points in the exam and can expand on each point in the exam.
Because I’m a visual thinker I’ve had to work harder in stuff like philosophy and English where communication was key.
However once you get used to explaining your ideas it feels great! Philosophy really helps that
I used keywords in bullet forms
Yup. Visual thinker. I flip my shit when someone "cleans" my room, I am terribly awkward in conversations, and I can never explain something to someone without showing them. I cannot remember names, but I can remember faces,
Omg u just legitimately describes me no joke
You explained my life. Sometimes I have to draw out what I'm thinking for people to understand.
I'm all of that and not a visual thinker. I think of things spatially, I can feel WHERE they are and what they FEEL like, but not what they look like. Yet I'm not good at describing my thoughts unless I spend some time considering the right words, can't remember names easily and lose myself in my room if it is neatly organized, which doesn't happen often anyway.
Everyone thinks visually. You're a visual thinker and an awkward person, who cannot explain shit. I employ you to improve your social skills. And clean your damn room, it's a discipline.
story of my life ;)
Suddenly everyone is a visual thinker... I bet 90% of people commenting in here is just average.
Everybody learns and thinks uniquely. There are also Verbal and Auditory learners/thinkers.
Why even concern yourself with what others relate to or get excited about?
That's their business, not yours. Don't be so bitter.
This video said that about 60% of people are visual thinkers, but obviously 60% of people aren't geniuses... it's more like 2% or less
Guess we know who's not a visual thinker...
Shantel Natal I'm sure you are "Shantel" hahaha
see now the problem with me is, i can see something in my head a thousand times more detailed then if i tried to put it on paper, or any other physical or digital medium... like if i try to make something in my head it will just come up and a shit pile of a mess that will look nothing like what it does in my head.. ive always felt like if someone could make something where you could copy and idea from your mind and put it on screen it would be the most amazing invention of all time... someone get on that
I know that would be awesome
yap thats me ! i was having difficulty at school since i was young because i couldnt say what i was thinking properly ( and plus i talk 3 language so it doesnt help lol)
You'll be happy to know that they have begun figuring out how to "photograph" what's in your mind's eye. The early results look like the very first photographs: grainy and blurry as Hell, but you can DEFINITELY see what's there. I'm SO FUCKING EXCITED!!!!!!!
Yeah that's me when I try to draw what's in my head but struggle to make exactly what's there
Thats pretty damn cool the way they filmed this
I'm not a genius but you've just described how I think.
In my head , when ever Im alone or bored I have Ideas of scenes and storys .After holding them in for so long , I soon share them on a website called Wattpad . So that others can enjoy what Shizzle goes on in my brain . :D
i love wattpad what is your user name??? :))
I really only focus on Fanfictions , but it 'MissMilk-Stache' :b
Same here but I normally just write them down in my notes or just keep the scenes to myself and still remember everything that happens an maybe twink it a little when I get another idea for the story :P
Oooo I do that too! :D
Yay ! We can all be writing buddies together . :3
So that explains why I never remember a street name, even though I have been working for nearly a year there I know every single corner, I can't get lost, I hear my coworkers talk to each other using the street names every day, i can never tell what street they're talking about, and I always give directions based on landscape. .. good, I thought I was just dumb.
I have the hardest time telling stories too.
i use my visual thinking to figure out where imma move my furniture around my room,lol,anyone else?
Me too. This might sound crazy but I can't manipulate my brain to thinking their is something that isn't their for example: I love to draw so when I'm bored in class I look at the white board or at people faces and draw.
+Ortepho Achusbora same!!!
i don't have dyslexia but i can re arrange words in my head lets see i see someone commenting something really mean my mind moves t he words around and forces me to see someone saying adn instead of and and i can do that SAMMIsLIFE. I only realize this when i get water on my face or think did he really spell it that way?
Elizie The Lone Jedi
LOL
+brenda walker same
when i was little i had all my toys in tyhe floor, all over the room, i told my mom i felt more organized like that, she cleaned it up and i couldn find anything, now i know why
I had the same problem as a kid. :)
I can see memories in a way; like I am in a theater and I watch the events involving me but in 3rd person. Like I am some floating camera or something lol
that's so cool.
Funny, I had always thought I was a visual thinker, but, come to think of it, when I remember something that has happened to me, I wouldn't say I "see" it, I rather feel it, so I actually remind of how I was feeling back then, not the scene itself. Don't know how I feel about that.
That's exactly how I think, especially when I dream, do you have that aswell?
Kevin Willems I dream the same way as I remember things, in 3rd person movie like fashion. Though I don't have to be involved at all for dreams
Creators of Cataclysm I know right, It's like you have a camera monitored on your back
is anyone here not a visual thinker?
im a visual thinker
LOL, might as well.
I mean, everyone in in the comments is saying they are visual thinkers, so I was like 'is anyone not one?'
Omg ikr i think thats the only reason why people comment
IDK it think i might be one and not be one. like the desk thing, thats totally me, but i am sooooooo bad at chess. Though i like your thinking ;P
Nice to know there's a name for it. This theory explains, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Some people see what is real to them. This is how I've created thousands of unique products without ever drawing or measuring, ahead of building. I get an idea and formulate the object, with perfect clarity, in my mind. I took it to an extreme when I was remodeling my house. I left portions unfinished and never noticed how bad it looked until I later saw photos. I knew what I wanted it to look like, and saw it so clearly, that I ignored the state of incompleteness. The mind is a strange thing.
Sounds like me, except the genius part, I fucking suck at math, US education system taught me calculator, but I digress. I have a very hard time communicating my thoughts and when I try, people are generally confused or just take it the wrong way.
I also get lost all the time when people give me directions, I don't remember streets or people's names. I can find my way just fine if someone gives me a ride on a street because I remember the path and can see it in reverse in my mind.
Exactly me
Scuba Steve
Yeah, sure.. Ok.
Scuba Steve
You used to be like me, until you took an arrow in the knee, right? Or was it the scuba tank?
Informative, visually entertaining, thought-provoking... Buzzfeed should try and put out at least one video a week that meets two out of three of these standards.
Why is this narrated by a cat?
Dear kitten
I think it's zefrank
OMG, this is awesome! So awesome I just went and deleted my own inferior comment about the same thing. :-)
+FireCracker3240 me too! Haha!
😂😂😂😂 Favorite comment by far
I've always been very talented at those weird math problems where you have to figure out which net will form a 3D object, I could always visualise the object building itself, and if it didn't make the shape then it wasn't the right answer. Being a visual thinker also makes me day dream a lot, but that's very useful because it helps me come up with characters to draw or animations that I'd love to create, or sometimes helps me imagine possible music videos. I imagine action scenes, romantic scenes, funny jokes or sad moments, it's almost like I've got a movie theater in my brain. Maybe one day I'll come up with something awesome like Tesla or Einstein did, but for now I'm happy just building imaginary shapes
THIS is what I subscribed for not the horseshit you been posting lately
So, everyone is a visual thinker now.
so not every person is a visual thinker?I thought everyone could clearly envision things in their head or memories,but I am by no means a genius lol.
Mary W because, like most of us visual thinkers, feel the need to talk about their "abilities". like i mentioned, i'm a visual thinker and i think it's just so stupid that most of us are stating these stupid things in the comments when we *need to already know all of us can do this so who the heck cares*
Mary W time can change someone, but not their personality
cooksandcops I have a pornographic memory
465marko LOL
Mary W i said 'most of us visual thinkers'
get it right
When I'm trying to remember my studies during exams, I remember where the part I'm trying to remember are located on the notes, and the colours help me remember where they are
Wow
these talking vids are so relaxing at night.
I hate it when people clean my messy desk. It actually does the opposite: I can no longer find my things. I don't even care if you live with me and you can't stand looking at it. It's not your desk.
I also hate tests that ask me to "describe" things when a picture is right there. Ugh.
One thing I still fail, though, is visualizing the 4th dimension.
Hahah no one can do that. It's impossible. That's visualizing a three dimensional object from all angles at once.
Sooo true I have a messy room and I know where everything is but when someone cleans it, I don't know where anything is
im only a visual thinker when i dont have access to porn.
hahahahaha I can relate
Amen to that my friend...
.
same
I'm only NOT a visual thinker then (thanks brain)
Nah, I'm just stupid.
I know that feel, bro.
Don't call yourself names,even though they might be true.
hey stupid, I'm dumb, nice to meet ya!
The messy desk thing is so true for me!
Oscar josh I am old enough to not have my mum care about whether a tidy mess is helpful to my thinking pattern or not. -_-
I create some videos from video games. When I have an idea it's all in my head sometimes. But when I actually try to create it, it may turn out disappointing because it just doesn't fit so well-.-
I know what you mean same with my channel :D but funny videos you got there :)
Thank you :D
THANK YOU!!!!!! I have been trying to explain this to people for AGES now, i'm so glad there's a name for it. all i could tell them was that "i don't think in numbers or letters."
(Deep, nervous sigh) So my sister and I made up a game a long time ago where we'd make up characters and worlds and creatures and the like. The thing is, we didn't play the game with anything but our minds. We'd just talk for hours imagining what the people would do, saying each individual action and sentence, and then continue the next day. I'd make up the world for my sister's character to explore, and the characters she'd meet, and the things they'd all do. I'd stay up at night, planning more things and characters to make it more interesting for her.
It'd always start the same way.
"What does your character look like?"
This actually made me feel a lot better about myself
Thinking like this but being unable to draw well is like being in a prison. my own personal hell.
Try photography instead.
try to discribe the picture
This. Explains. EVERYTHING. And I mean, EVERYTHING.
This explains why I wright stories, and why I never wright them down.
This explains how I think and why, and in every way.
This explains, well everything.
Thank you, for telling me who i am, cause god knows I'm not gonna find out on my own.
If somebody asks me what a capital of a country is, I can easily forget it, but if someone has a map I can place every single country. Visual thinker?
i am a visual thinker, but i remeber more 1 second clips than pictures
same with me, you can say that we see gif lol
made my day
Your Name translated means "A cake that can talk"
UltimateN1njaLP i think he knows what his own name translates to in english
Yeah, i do...Magic Ö_Ö
i can visualize sex positions in my mind. so yes, i am a visual thinker, so... who wants to be the one to help me practice all my visual theories?
« A messy desk isn’t the problem at all, you know where everything is, but you know where it is in relation to everything else, so when someone comes along and cleans that desk, supposedly helping you organize, you completely feel lost and you can’t find anything » finally someone gets it....
