I'm very sensitive to violent imagery and it will stay in my head for

years coming back up at any time and making me sick so I'm careful

about what I watch.

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.
