" I am the kind of person, though, who grasps broad concepts quite easily, but then is at a loss to explain them well in nitty-gritty detailed terms to others. I see them clearly in my mind, but without many words attached. Just the ideas, like a light bulb going on. In order to explain them, I have to re-hash them somehow into words."

I know EXACTLY what you're saying. Good to find out I'm not the only one with this issue. I don't feel lonely anymore :)

I'll get so frustrated with my inability to explain something that I end up saying "I wish you could SEE what I'm saying" and actually mean to look into my mind to see the picture.

AS to the rest of your post, Many may be conditioned into the "rinse repeat syndrome" Maybe it wasn't mean to be. We'll see in four years, maybe it won't be so bad. Many liked President Trump but many didn't "get" him. Didn't understand his character, didn't understand that he does not give up. He's a fighter. He's a real man.

Yep, you said it! We are definitely in a minority, though. I’ve told people that I think in pictures, only to be told “That’s impossible, you are a human being, what differentiates us from animals is that we think in words!”

Uh huh, okay then...

I wonder, seen this a joke - never used it...would this work?

"If you can't think of a word, say I forgot the English word for it. That way people will think you're bilingual instead of an idiot."
