The fact that I don't know what any of you look like, but I can still create my own image of you in my head. Like, if you say that you are woman who was born male and have not gone through any hormone therapy or surgery, I will picture you as a woman. I will not picture the "masculine" body that you have. If you say you are a man who was born female and have not gone through any hormone therapy or surgery, I will picture you as a man. I will not picture the "feminine" body that you have. It's like when you're reading a book and you can imagine the characters in your head without seeing what they really look like.
I wish I had that power. Often I'm too tied to my own experience of wanting to escape the image I present to other people in my "natural" (but it feels pretty damn unnatural) body and it creates a real rift between my desires and my current "reality." I tend to impose those same experiences I've had onto other people, even those I just know through online accounts. Maybe I'm just poor at mental visualization of someone I've never met face-to-face ... but I have a hard time really imagining someone as their ideal self. It's hard for me to grasp it for my own sake, so of course I find it difficult to do for others. I wish it were different but that's just where I am right now.
Yes! Me too!!! I also picture those EC members without pics online! I based their appearance based on their Biography in their wall (yes, I am an EC stalker) and their posts.
I do too like I imagine what they look like and sometimes when people post pics of themselves I copy them so that way just in case they delete them I still have them
Andrew, you just had to add a smiley to the end of that, didn't you? It made it ten times creepier xD --- I tend to imagine images of people in my mind too. Based off of personality, descriptions, and just... the small world I live in xD
This post made me recheck my biography, oh it's empty ---------- Post added 8th Apr 2015 at 10:51 AM ---------- :roflmao:
Remind me to never post pictures here, since half of the time I look stupid and it's probably embarrassing for it to be saved. I like imagining how your voices sound like.
When I read people's posts, I always imagine them saying it aloud, in the voice I would imagine them having. I can't really do the 'imagining faces' thing. I really ought to start saving some pictures. :badgrin:
I agree with Kaiser. That is exactly how I picture that smile. Andrew99, you're a creep and I love it. I can't picture what people sound or look like. I want to, but I can't. Unless I've creeped their profile and know for sure, then I can picture them talking when they're talking, but I can't make up a voice for them.
^^^You guys are hilarious. Kinda cringed at Andrew99 being called creepy, but lol it's in good fun. I like to visualize their transformation. Anyone know those Animmorphs shows? That explains how I imagine it. The process is as interesting to me as the end.
