I have like a sitcom of a few perspectives that will debate each others thoughts like sometimes one of them thinks something weird and gets flamed for it internally

mine looks like early versions of AI. I understand what's supposed to be going on, but everything just a bit off

I have to read my thoughts. I don’t have a voice in my head and I can’t see images. When I do try to visualize something, the words try to form the image but aren’t quite making it well enough to get the full picture. So when I was asked to try and describe my mom yesterday, and couldnt do it, my friend was extremely confused. I felt like sharing how I “visualize” stuff here though.

Not sure but, Ive been learning Japanese for the past 6-7 years and occasionally it’ll trip up my thinking because I’m greeted with another language Im not expecting. So instead of the word ‘flower’ trying to form an image I’ll get 花 and forget what a flower even is for a second.
