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
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
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
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
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
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!
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.
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
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!!!
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
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?
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
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
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!!!
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 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.
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'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!
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.
Thats pretty damn cool the way they filmed this
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...
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.
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.
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 !!
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?
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 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
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
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 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
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
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 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
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 :/
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.
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 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 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 watched the Lego movie from my memory.
Like, what else do you do in math?
+ivan lolli I did the same thing with Big Hero 6 in a English class!
Very entertaining. X3
+Nicole Smith what the entire movie? thats lucky.
It's actually not that hard if you have nothing to do
ivan lolli i quite like math tbh. However i can not envision an entire movie.
these talking vids are so relaxing at night.
YA!!!! VISUAL THINKERS UNITE!!!!
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)
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
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)
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.
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
When I listen to narrations I picture the actions in my head and it is soooo clear to me! I believe I am definitely a visual thinker.
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
I'm a visual thinker...
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.
This describes me SO PERFECTLY. Thank you so much for making this.
When I remember old memories, I remember numbers, phrases and pictures.
Call me a strange one, but i often play tetris in my head.
Oh god. The desk thing
This makes so much more sense to me now, I always have extremely complicated ideas in my head as images but it's a huge struggle to convey that image to someone else through words alone. Also explains why I have a difficult time showing somebody else exactly what I'm talking about, I can tell them, I need to show them.
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 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
The hardest thing is that you are a visual thinker but YOU CAN'T EVEN DRAW A PROPER STICK MAN WITH NO DETACHED PARTS
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."
for the last time mum, DONT ORGANISE MY DESK.
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.
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
During the video, part of me was listening and thinking about what the speaker was saying and the other part of me was visualizing how they were creating multiple layers on the screen and I am glad they showed how they did it in the end bit because it proved my visualizations correct and put my mind at ease.
This totally explains how I think, the way I understand everything is by visualizing it in a flowchart, a timeline, a jigsaw or lego blocks in my head. Sometimes wish I could just project my thoughts out in a hologram so I can actually show people something rather than try verbally explain it because it's significantly harder...
This is how all BuzzFeed videos should be.
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.
this video has answered all of my questions, that have been lingering in my head for the past few years.
😊
Used mental visualization to get through my physics class. Really helped with the theories and ideas.
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.
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 felt proud to be a visual thinker while watching this video. While having to draw is the only solution for me to share what I think sometimes, I love to draw, so I have no problem with it.
"Albert Einstein saw a man riding a wave of light" sounds like prophet Muhammad's night journey
+Arez Gazi what do you mean?
+ibrahim abdullahi refer to 2:11 of the video. it reminds me of prophet muhammad's journey to heaven.he was riding al buraq which was travelling at such a speed equalling to that of light according to the description given in hadith
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.
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 awesome.
One of the best things I can describe as a visual thinker, are the physical known locations (screenshots of a place at a VERY detailed particular angle (lighting, time of year/day - and strangely always devoid of people, cars, animals etc - it's just a picture of somewhere I know/knew) that I associate with a particular memory, thought, idea, or process. The visual has no particular special association. However it is usually somewhere from an earlier age, mainly mid teens or earlier. For example travelling at the age of 23. Almost none of those experiences/visuals are used to associate.
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
I'm not a genius but you've just described how I think.
messy table pretty much sums up 99.99% of people in earth
I think this is the reason I like geometry way more than algebra
I think I'm a visual thinker... I fit most of these
would you say you fit like a key fits into a lock or more like a ball of play dough fits into a jar?
Me too.
how big is the ball?
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
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 :)
So, did anyone else end up feeling really anxious when that desk got tidied up, even though it wasn't theirs and even though it was just an image on a screen?
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
Also called: ADHD, Autism, OCD. YW ;)
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
Kudos to the creative mind behind this video's visuals. It's awesome!
I love big words said by calming voices
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
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 couldn't help but concentrate on the voice. It's the sad cat diary!
THANK YOU SOMEONE WHO GETS THE ORGANIZATION THING
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.
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
I love this guys voice! He sounds like the voice for "dear kitten".
I can totally relate to the desk example. I always know where everything is, but my mom keeps organizing it for me and I feel lost. But every time I try talking sense into her she's just sure that I'm wrong and I'll feel more lost when I'm messy.
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.
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.
woah this is so relatable, all the struggles of my life when I can only describe things in visual metaphors or movements. So hard to express myself sometimes!
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.
