      I’m not sure.

      I can not smell things without actually smelling them. Same with taste.

      I can imagine my hand rubbing on different grit sandpaper and know how they would feel differently but I don’t “feel” it.

      I can play songs in my head with sounds that are like the actual sounds but it’s similar to humming or whistling in my head. It’s not like I hit play and just listen. I don’t get earworms.

          Yeah I’m the same way. Always wondered how people were able to give such detailed information to police sketch artists.

          Like I could work with one but at best it would be them drawing something close and me going “ehh this part and this part isn’t right” if I got a really good look at the person.

          Do you get earworms?

          I feel in a way I’d have to practice their voice in my head like I was trying to impersonate them vocally, just my mind could make any sound. But I myself couldn’t talk in a New York accent because I don’t understand what all to change and when. If I heard a New Yorker say a sentence I could repeat it back in my head the same way
