      Probably about the same. Only realized at some point cause I was complaining about how a teacher always had us close our eyes and imagine shit. I was like tf are we doing this for when it doesn’t do anything. And I got confused looks and somebody asked if I could see pictures in my head. I thought they were screwing with me and lo and behold most people can actually see things in their head similar to dreams.

      Similar thing went down for the internal monolog. I believe I sort of complained offhand how movies/shows always depict people thinking as them just talking but how there wasn’t exactly a better way to do it. Friend laughed and said something like “Well and obviously that’s how people think too”. Wouldn’t have thought he was screwing with me if he wasn’t constantly making things up lmao
