For people who have a visual imagination, it’s almost impossible to understand the experiences of someone with aphantasia, and vice versa. For 43-year-old Mary Wathen, the lightbulb moment came when she was speaking to other parents about playing role-playing games with their children, and it became apparent that everyone else was able to see images in their minds.
Are you aphantasic?
When i found out a couple years back, i went down a rabbit hole to figure out what it was... Now in just accept as who I am... I even kinda forgot about it until i stumbled on this article. Good to see it's still being investigated.
Just wish at times i could visualise my loved ones on command :)
