This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Its actually wilder than that, some people have aphantasia where they can't imagine shapes or forms in their mind. If you describe a dog, they do not have a mental image of the dog.

I have thoughts that I hear, but I can't picture images in my mind. Like I know what a dog looks like, but I can't see it

You my friend, have aphantasia. IIRC its about 1-3% of the population.
