Does anyone else have aphantasia?

Its when you can't visualize anything in your mind, if you do have it then you are like me and possibly for a long part of your life you didn't realized that "imagine this" and "imagine that" and "picture this" isn't a figurative speech, it is literal, people actually see things in their mind, if you don't then welcome to the club lol

That's kinda fascinating to me. So your whole way of processing is to just talk to yourself? How does remembering things work?

I have the opposite where my mind sees everything as shapes, colors and sounds and all these abstract things and to me it makes perfect sense but sometimes it's hard to translate into words in the flow of a conversation. Especially when I was a kid

I have whatever the opposite of that is, like I have dreams when I'm awake but I am just thinking about stuff and seeing it in my head

It happens from time to time, but rarely, I'm usually very good in visualisation.
