Supposed answer to a rhetorical question, you think of elephants. I dont feel it's true for me, do you think of elephants?

There is a hidden assumption that when people speak to you then you are listening to them. For the most part I fall on the "don't listen/don't care" end of the spectrum.

When told to 'not think of elephants'.... think of purple giraffes.

Now, when hearing anything about elephants, after reading another post on this site, I will always think of big cows eating cabbage with their tails.

My mind goes blank, if anything just thinking what they're up to, just waiting and listening. Now if you say, you are thinking of elephants, how is that exactly? How exactly are you thinking about elephants?

Now if someone said don't think of elephants, think of elephant ears, I probably would visualize them.
