    Thanks for the in-depth reply!

    I can sympathise with the TV in your head thing haha, for me the music feels constant which can be nice but occasionally really annoying and distracting loops get stuck in there. I’ve found asmr to be a good remedy for that though idk how relevant that would be for the mental images side of things. Also, I get all these ideas which I record/write down and… never really develop -_- feels like there’s too much I wanna do and not enough time to really get into the meat of it :/

    Even though you find number stuff in your head tricky how have you found algebra / calculus / the more abstract side of maths? Or more closely tied to programming, set theory? Maybe you’d be able to visualise the more abstract concepts well.

      I can give you an explanation of godel numbers and how we proved that all general logical systems will have contradictions (knowledge gotten from youtube though), but tell me to subtract a two numbers and I’ll need a minute.

      As for calculus, I didn’t take the class in high school, but I do watch videos about infinite series and proofs which I find fascinating now. I plan on going to college (2nd attempt) and I’m certain I’ll be much more proficient in it once I learn the fundamentals.
