I don't get this, I'm none of these. I doubt I'm special.

Do you see mental images vividly or not?

I stopped watching kids videos at the end of my kid life. Everything I watch is adult videos now: news, math, finances, cooking

I guess I’m 1. No, I don’t watch β€œadult video”.

I already have a decent amount of masturbation addiction, and I don’t want to make it worse.

1 and yes normally. But I have sometimes had extended spells of no internet or computer access in which case I've used my own mind.

People are not all one? Do yo really imagine grey potatoes when someone says apple.

I'm still coming to terms of people who don't think visually, there are people who think in grayscale??

I have been diagnosed with aphantasia, so I'm a 5. I have no ability to visualise anything in my head, I was in my 40s before I realised that "minds eye" is not a metaphor for most people.

Aphantasia is neat. I have to wonder how it affects the way we see the world. I'm 1. It doesn't really take concentration, which I see on here? it's not any harder than just a simple internal monologue anyways. But that's always in motion whether I want it or not so 🀷

That's including lights and reflections, but like that's constructed by me, and so I might imagine a light reflection incorrectly. again just like I might have a definition incorrect for internal monologue.

Anyways, sure. Imagining is part of it. Like placing yourself in the situation in front of you. I don't need adult videos to do so though. But like, having full HD imagination doesn't replace videos of any kind, or else I wouldn't watch YouTube either ya knoe

I think I am a 5. I feel like I am imagining an apple but then I am not sure whether I "see" the thing I am imagining or not. It's weird.

[–] belated_frog_pants@beehaw.org 4 points 2 months ago

Im a 1 and i like video and images. But i can also watch movies in my head of be fantasy banging people

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

If you think this is cool, how many inner dialogues do y'all have?

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

I'm a 1 and of course I do. Imagination is like playing with dolls. You already know everything going on. It's not the same as watching something made by other people.

[–] wuphysics87@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

3 or 4, but I can 'see' the geometry and motion of one or more objects interacting with each other or the environment. Rotation, deformation, shear, impact etc.

It is less so that I can 'see' and more that I can 'feel' and visually conceptualize that sensation in my mind. Albeit not 'vividly'.

That might lend itself to other things

I guess I am 1, and I do watch Itchy and Scratchy sometimes 😎 (It's a very scary and therefore adult series)
