"But as for thinking in pictures or words, neither. Do most people think in words and some in pictures? I think in ideas or impressions or feelings and often have a hard time translating them into words. Often I understand something but can't find the words to express it the way I understand it. Does anyone else do this? I'm very curious about this."I don't really think much in words at all, only when having to use them of course. I do have a very visual mind. When I want/need to express something though - I am often at a loss because there is no image - no words - I know what I mean inside, but cannot find words to convey - this frustrates me greatly.> >> > > Thank you for answering my question.
