    yeh not everyone can visualize in their head. weirdly enough (or maybe not), I can taste in my head. like if you say tomato I can taste it. I should’ve been a chef maybe

      Taste is an interesting one.

      I can’t say I can truly taste at will but I can remember the experience of tasting something well enough to be able to “visualize” what taste I am craving, sometimes by imagining different tastes one by one until I find the right one. I’m not really tasting them but sort of replaying the experience of tasting them which is enough for me to understand the taste.

      But it’s more like my brain describing it to me than actual taste. It’s weird.

      I can taste in my head but there’s a limited range of what I can smell in my head.

      Like, the smell of chocolate or wet dog or chanel no 5, no problem. The smell of my mother’s house or a meadow on a sunny day, very vague and uncertain.

        yes now that I think of it, smell is def harder. I can only really tell you if something smelled good, like a gf’s sweater (prob pheromones) or bad, because those are easier to forget
