Same here. It’s why I can’t get through books with lots of descriptions of environment or characters. It takes a lot of brain power to visualize and it’s just the specific word I’m reading at the moment, divorced from the entire description (e.g. character descriptions, I can blurrily/faintly imagine just the eyes, then just the hair and it evaporates quickly). In jealous of people who can actually play movies in their head.

Nah, I can’t picture things in my head. The visual description words are mainly just excess test I’m going to quickly forget.
