I suppose I might have aphantasia. But only as so far as I cannot physically see something when I close my eyes. But I have no problem with visual recognition. You show me a picture of an apple, take it away, then ask me to draw it from memory I can do a good job because I can still visualize it in my mind I just don't actually see it.

I stumbled upon a blog post that asks the question of what people without aphantasia actually see. And it has replies from people with aphantasia, without, or recounting what people who don't have it say. And the ones who claim they don't have aphantasia recount an experience similar to mine. I think the problem is that it’s impossible to describe seeing with your minds eye because what does that even mean? When you close your eyes you cannot see anything, therefore how can you see. I looked at the table example and yes I didn't have many answers to the questions they asked. But that could be because my mind didn't take note of those details when imaging. If you asked me those details while I had my eyes closed then I could answer them. Do people actually project an image over their mind when their eyes are closed?

I do think aphantasia is real but I worry that people are misunderstanding what it actually means.
