What do you mean by seeing? Like they don't see images in their mind?

I definitely see images, but not specifics. For example, I can see my wife's face, in my mind, but I can't draw from that memory.

Like I am seeing the images from a distance, but if I try to focus on a detail, the image falls apart.

Some people do. Many of us don't.

This is so fascinating! It's easy to assume most people experience things the same way while we are all different all the way down to how we think and imagine stuff!
