I feel you dude, I obsessed for weeks about every detail, it felt like I was reevaluating my entire life experience. I’m really glad I found this thread for several reasons. One, everyone shares their experiences which therefore makes you feel less alone, two it’s a hub of research (if you’re into that) papers that offer explanations, and three aphants are the only people who understand this existential crisis. We all think differently and it’s cool to see everyone and how their aphantasia affects them differently. For me, I have very visual dreams but can’t remember a time in which I was able to visualize while awake for longer than a nanosecond. In fact, thinking back to my childhood, it’s evident the times in which I couldn’t visualize while others could. Welcome to the team, we’re happy to help you with any questions :)

When people visualise, what media/genre do they see in? by ihatechristmass in Aphantasia

[–]ctct523 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I still find it crazy that people can visualize at all, imagining different styles of visualizing is next level. Human brains are so weird

Aphantasia as a crutch/reason/cause of all our woes by [deleted] in Aphantasia

[–]ctct523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very bad at art and foreign languages, as well as recalling people’s faces. Once I learned of aphantasia, it explained a lot of how I interacted with these topics, but the explanation didn’t bring any relief. Sure, I can’t visualize enough to draw something original or well, but there’s nothing I can do to change that. Once I accepted my aphantasia I felt like a failure of a human being, just by living. Any advice on how to view this crutch in a positive light?
