> Real people think in concepts and experiences instead of words.

I learned about this opinion recently. It's interesting to me, because I very much think through words. I have an internal monologue that is running most of the time, and I often talk to myself, just start writing, or even record myself and transcribe to work through ideas, proposals, risks, etc. My understand is that some people don't have an internal monologue, and think purely in concept form. I was never like that.



Agreed. I think in and visualize in words, generally not images. I see something akin to [Spreeder](https://www.spreeder.com/app.html) in my head most of the time, and I often can somatically feel punctuation.
