I remember when I learned people weren’t just being metaphorical when they talked about “picturing” something in their mind.

I had that same reaction. "You mean you can see it? No like, really see it, not just think about seeing it? What the fuck?"

When i zone out, i can have full conversations with people ive never met in my mind while walking to work.

Basically flying blind through traffic, unless something relevant registers on my "conscious" mind.

These conversations that never happened don't always go well, so I whish I could have less of them.

Same same, i try to be aware of it and ground myself when i do catch it drift into just verbalising anxiety with no real benefit.

Especially when i should be enjoying reality instead, like during a movie, concert or hike
