How does it affect your ability to enjoy books? Or type of books you’d enjoy?

Do you tend to prefer more visual medium like video(movies, tv), or comic books?

    I do “see” inner images but they’re blurry, flashing and I can’t directly control them. So when I read I mostly focus on the text and faintly in the background there’s a “school fight recorded by hyperactive kid” version of the plot going on.

        Another great analogy are those comically quick cuts in Bollywood dramas where they mix slo-mo, sped up shots, random super closeups, the same shot over and over and whatever else until you can barely make out what’s even going on

          Both of your descriptions match closely with how I internally visualize. Never bothers me until I try hard to follow a visual description

            Does your sense of direction also suck? Because it really does for me and I’ve always suspected a connection. I still get lost in my hometown from time to time despite living there for 9 years now.

              My sense of direction is usually pretty good. If I’m distracted I’ll get turned around fairly easily but it’s not hard for me to figure out where I accidentally went.
