    I’m on the other side of your discovery. When my kids were young and in karate, I couldn’t understand why they were having so much trouble acting out techniques in the air. In my mind, I could see where the imaginary opponent was and how they would move, but most of the kids had a lot of trouble with that.

    While talking to my wife, I found out that not everyone can envision people and things in 3D.

    I was also the parent who made the kids’ Halloween costumes. My sewing technique is pretty terrible, but I can see how the costume should look, and I can take it apart in my head and see what shape the pieces should be.

      I am very confused now. Isn’t that just imagination? I know some people are not good at envisioning things but never heard about people not being able to do it. Ig TIL.
