I found out yesterday itself, that am aphantasic. Ofcourse been thinking about it…
Hypothesis – I think that we ( guess atleast me) don’t remember sensations (taste, smell, sight, touch, sound).. we only remember experience.
Backing – I never used to remember what someone wore at some occasion, neither able to quote exact sentences of people. And have never been able to remember how food in some restaurant tasted. I could only remember if person looked good/ how my experience at restaurant was.. like If a restaurant food didn’t taste good, but the service was good, like they didn’t kept me waiting, i am more likely to revisit that restaurant.
