I’ve always “seen” words as the things they actually represent.
For example:
no – looks stern & abrupt
yes – looks happy & open
eye – looks like 2 eyes with a nose between them
bed – looks like a bed (obviously)
happy – looks upbeat & smiling
grumpy, angry – look like lowered eyebrows of a frown
pillow – looks soft & puffy
It’s only in the past couple of years that I became aware that most people don’t visualize words as I do. And that there’s a name for this.
