to look at a word without reading it? I tried, and found out that I cannot. My brain subconsciously registers and deciphers it instantly. I also just about always perceive an image of what the word represents, uncontrollably.

Try it on this word, then post results:

But I am kind of confused... Could you explain more?


It seems impossible to see words without comprehending its meaning and significance. I cannot look at words as simple, meaningless, objects. Instead, I immediately read it with my subconscious mind. I can't just look at it as something else.

Have you ever tried to take one of those tests with the names for colours written in a different colour? And then say the colour instead of the word (or the other way around, cannot remember).

Yeah. I did pretty well actually. There's a flash like that somewhere in the expanse of the internet.

That is good? Oh well, I think I might be annoyingly annoying, but I can look at something without trying to get the meaning of it. I think. Not sure, quite... Sometimes. But it is hard, because we always want to understand.

Yes I have tried and on the word mouse you just read it as soon as you see it. I can not look at a word without reading it.
