3. Why do I think pictures are important to me?

I am highly susceptible to visual stimuli and navigate in life largely on visual cues. The importance of this is...
1. I respond without checking other channels for interrogative feedback...High risk of behavioural error (e.g. wrong purchase!) except where response is mandatory (e.g. road signs).
2. I have lowered response to other channels...Tends to reduce social interaction and response thus limiting variety and increasing risk of 'failure' to communicate and develop sufficient survival techniques.
So...this skill I have to draw and project and to compress data and 'read' compressed data also carries huge risks (that have taken many years to comprehend) and now at last I can feel 'happy in my skin'!
