You know some people only think in colors. Others think in emotions. some only think in images. And some people don't have any internal thought.

What are colors actually? Like, how do you describe colors in a way that will make perfect sense to a colorblind being? Or heck, ANY sense for that matter? Like, how do you describe “touch” and “feeling” without using those words!?

Scientifically from what i know, color is what our eyes see as “reflections” in a way, light bounces off of an object and into our eyes which have “cones” that(my knowledge stops here and to imagination and ego) send signals to the brain which processes this light and ends up as what we call “color”

some think in words, some think in sounds, some think of pictures or scenes, now what if someone was deaf, blind, and mute?

A question out of the randomness of my mind: Since I forgot what it was, why do we forget things?

We forget things due to a combination of psychological and biological reasons, such as trace decay, where memories fade over time; interference, where similar memories compete with each other; and poor encoding, which happens when we are distracted and don't pay close enough attention. Furthermore, the brain can actively “forget” or weaken memories that are not accessed, as a way to clear out unnecessary information to help with learning and generalization. Factors like stress, lack of sleep, and certain medications can also significantly impact our ability to recall information.

Also, there are memories I don’t forget.

That kinda sounds depressing….

Imagine your best memories fading out from you, everything that made you you. you start to feel nothingness… isolation- and less hope. as you grow older. the only thing that keeps you hanging are your memories… but they slip away. The very memories that keep you going, that made you yourself.

now I may be exaggerating this, I probably am. But if I put it that way, it makes way more sense and tells why this is kinda depressing….

Personalities change, and remembering memories is a big part of that. If you stabbed a pencil in your hand (please don't) and 10 years later you don't have that memory to tell you not to stab your hand with a pencil, you might stab your hand with a pencil.

and then that memory comes back and then you can't sleep at night realizing you stabbed your hand with a pencil two times in your life

Theories To Keep You Awake

Yeah, they are weird if you think about it.

The Mandela Effect:

The Mandela Effect is when people remember something incorrectly, but many people remember the same incorrect thing. This isn’t a proven fact—it’s just a theory. Some examples are:

People remember a quote from Star Wars as: “Luke, I am your father,” but Vader actually said, “No, I am your father.”
In Snow White, people remember the Queen saying “Mirror, mirror on the wall,” but it’s actually “Magic mirror on the wall.”

The Spotlight Effect

The Spotlight Effect is when people think others notice their mistakes or appearance more than they really do. In reality, everyone is busy focusing on themselves.

Example: You might worry that your hair looks messy, and think everyone is noticing—but most people are too focused on their own day to even notice.

Our brains naturally focus on ourselves. We are way too aware of our actions, thoughts, and appearance, so we overestimate how much other people notice.
