I have a hard time looking at people with broken bones, because I can almost hear, feel and internalize the break - and I have never broken a bone. Needless to say, I am not a doctor! I’m a musician.

This was really nice to read, It’s strange how rarely people talk about how different everyones minds are. I like to believe that I’m good at imagining what another person is thinking, however I have almost no emotional sympathy, so its hard for me to empathize with someone who’s feelings are taking over logic. About the mental imagery part, I too have very vivid dreams, however (at least I think) I can’t imagine anything while I’m awake. Also about the comment under me, I hate seeing things like that for the same reason, however if I know (or think) that it’s fake it completely removes that feeling.
