Tentatively…yes.
What do you mean by being “snowed”? Do you mean tricked, or do you mean flattered and manipulated?
Often people says things to me in jest, but I take their comments literally and believe them.
I am very visual – so much so, that if I want to watch a movie, I know I will have a better chance of understanding it if in addition to being in English it also has English subtitles that I can read.
Often, what people say to me doesn’t register in the same way, or is not as memorable as, words I can read on a page.
As I tend not to remember what I read, either, I share information I’ve read with others often by reading it again while writing about it. Thus, when I read my own blog essays, I am always surprised that I knew so much about topics I’ve since completely forgotten.
When I see or hear things I used to know, I remember that I knew them, but in the normal course of the day, I would not remember those things at all.
Often, when people talk to me I see facial expressions, body language, and hear tone of voice, and respond according to their emotions and not the intellectual content of what they are saying.
In conversations, I fade in and out, sometimes understanding, and at other times hearing the words as abstract noises.
I am extremely noise-sensitive, don’t like to listen to music, don’t like the television on in the house, don’t like the radio, and get very tired when there is lots of commotion around me. Visual clutter – like having a lot of junk lying around on tables, counters, etc – feels like mental noise.
Does that answer your question?
