I'm actually pretty noise-sensitive (It's kind of a weird thing for a DJ to have.), and I do need quiet from time to time. I really do value silence.

I can envision things, I guess, but it's all word associated I actually have a hard time seeing pictures in my head. So for instance, just to test this, I sat down and tried to envision an apple and had a really hard time bringing the picture to fruition in my head. I had to describe it using words and didn't really get a picture in my mind. But I can remember what an apple is like when I think of the words like round, juicy, crispy, sweet with a hint of tart.

Another fun fact is that when I close my eyes the only things that I see are continuous swirling colors. That's the only pictures I really see when I close my eyes and try to think of things.

Oh that is wild, so completely different.

If I'm home alone, I always put some music on. Not loud, as background. Without it feels uncomfortable. Too quiet.

As for picturing an apple, if I close my eyes, I can see the apple, with it's shades of color. I can see how it looks in sunlight with a shadow, or illuminated by a flashlight in a dark room. I can pick it up, rotate it, pull the stem out bu twisting it and take an imaginary bite. However, I can't really put thoughts into the taste or smell though, other than the basic sweet/sour. I can imagine the texture of the bite, somewhat.

Man, humans are trippy. 😅 Yeah, I genuinely cannot do the visualization thing the way that you're describing it. That's pretty cool.

I put on background noise occasionally like music or an audiobook or podcast if I'm working or cooking but a lot of times I find myself just sitting in the quiet.
