Cravings Arising to Consciousness

I noticed that I usually think in a very abstract manner, without images, just words and ideas. When I try intentionally to think visually, only then does lustful or worry-related images pop up. And, only then can I seemingly redirect my attention from these images. **If a person thinks very abstractly, is it possible that cravings or worries don't arise in consciousness? What is going on here?**
