Feral Heart

Disagree, but only because the only species I can draw are fantasy and people (kind of bahaha).
Walnuts taste horrible and are the worst nut

Agree, but only for ice cream bahaha
Pineapple isn't actually that bad on pizza

To see the image in your head clean and clear, you need to focus strongly. I can do it because I remember my fantasies at the age of five, heh. If you want to learn "visualization", try to take an object, stare at it for a moment, then go to another room and try to visualize this object.

I'll have to try that! I don't usually mind that I can't visualize things 'normally', but I'd like to experience it someday :0 Thank you!

Personally, I think it's something normal, something that all people have, and not something with like supernatural connections. When I hear the word 'inner-voice' I think about the little voice at the back of your head that you can hear everytime you write something, or when you think about something you somewhat build it in your head. I'm thinking about an orange right now, and all I 'see' in my mind is an orange in a black space. It's probably brain stuff, maybe that's just how we are built.

As I'm writing this, I can hear that inner voice, saying all these things that I'm writing. Thing is, you can't ACTUALLY hear it. It's kinda trippy if you ask me, and too complicated to be developed by the FH community (not saying we aren't smart, because we are, it's just that the subject of inner voices is big) . To put it short though, I do have an inner voice. I thought everyone does. Do you like, not hear anything AT ALL whenever you read something, or think about something?

That's so interesting :0 And I feel that lol. As much as I love the FH community, you're right—this likely won't get much traction, but I just felt the need to sate my curiosity bahaha. Whenever people in my life told me to 'listen to the little voice in the back of your mind,' I thought it was just a saying. Like telling your kids to think about something twice before doing it, or having common sense. Apparently it's some brain thing that the majority of people have :'D

To answer your question, I don't hear anything. Whether if I'm reading or thinking, or even trying to talk to myself in my head, I can't hear anything. Same thing when I try to visualize; when I close my eyes (or keep them open sometimes) to try and 'see' something, like an orange, I don't see anything. If my eyes are closed, it's just black. I don't know how else to describe it all except just an abstract cluster of thought with no language or imagery to translate it. Even as I write, I can't hear what I'm thinking, or what I think my next words will be.

My friend and I have come to the conclusion that I have lizard brain LOL

That's trippy ngl. I can't even imagine what it would be like to not be able to hear that voice. You know, whenever I just sit still and look into nothing, without thinking about anything in particular, random images just pop in my head. Like a face (seen before or not), and then it just morphs into something entirely different like a piece of clothing, or furniture or something. It only lasts for a few seconds, and then when I 'come back to reality' and realize what's happening, I can't visualize those things anymore. It's weird, and I've never really given it much thought, but now you got me thinking lmao.

Anyway, I don't think it's a problem that you don't have this inner voice. It's not really something that 'helps' people and it's not something that gets in the way either. It's just a, let's say 'bonus', to the human body. Glad you got this off your chest though!

Oh goodness, I think I'd go neurotic or burst a blood vessel if a random image popped into my head! :0 That sounds so cool though! Maybe there's a way to control it, with time and practice or something lol. Sometimes I wonder if I'd be a better artist or writer if I had an inner monologue or mind's eye.

I'm glad I got you thinking, it's an interesting topic :'D Questioning the way you think is freaky bahaha. And thank you for listening, I'm glad I did too! :D

Hello there, welcome to FH! I find it difficult to meet new people and make friends myself, but I hope you'll come to love FH as much as many of us do :'D Hopefully I'll see you in-game sometime! I'm almost always at The Grounds bahaha
