I have a strong visual sense. I can create movies in my head, and skits. Helps with art and writing. Also, I'm emotionally intelligent. Unfortunately I'm also incredibly sensitive/and a cry baby. :/
I came here thinking I had no natural talent, but this resonates with me.
I always wanted a device that I could wear that would play what I'm hearing/seeing as I'll make up entire songs in my head. I can "hear" everything, but I can't play a single instrument lol sometimes I'll hear just a few notes and then it's off to the races as a whole new song is going on in my head based on just those few notes.
Yeah that stuff is definitely frustrating.
On the direct opposite... I'm an aphant, meaning I cannot visualize in my head. I do "visualize" or imagine places, but there is no actual visual aspect to it.
I've seen it described as a desktop PC with no monitor attached. All the information is there, it just does not get rendered.
Some people see it as a hinderance, but for me, it's just the way I think.
