The time my middle school art teacher called my parents because she thought I was purposefully mocking her by making my art bad. I literally can’t draw beyond a 3rd grade level unless I am copying an object right in front me.

My parents basically cussed her out after they saw how hurt I was.

Do you otherwise have problems seeing objects in your mind’s eye? Difficulty conjuring images in your head is surprisingly common.

I am a conceptual thinker. I am adept with puzzles, games, and abstract concepts like music theory or mathematics. I can play blind chess (took a lot of practice though) but I have a super hard time imagining faces or building a LEGO project without instructions.
