Are your math visualizations in color?
Mine are all black-and-white, presumably in imitation of diagrams in textbooks. Just realized from this @St_Rev tweet that I may be missing an important tool.

I've never really been able to understand how people use visualisations in mathematics at all. I accept that these are a thing phantasic people find useful somehow, I just don't really get *why* at any sort of intuitive level./
Interesting... are pictures you draw out on paper useful, though? Do you kinesthetically imagine moving bits of them around, or anything?

I very rarely find visuals particularly conducive to understanding unless it's about something that's really hard to communicate verbally.

Ah, weird, I'm the opposite. People are always saying a load of words at me to explain things, which are normally useless if I can't see or do the thing. Text is better than speech as at least there is something visual to keep my focus.
