HELLO my fellow weirdos! So this thing I have had where I really don't linger in my thoughts and just move on to the next thing no matter what happens is different then from other people? Kinda crazy to me because I thought people were always being dramatic. Worrying abt this and that, i just thought they had OCD and were too sensitive. Apparently, I'm the one that is not of the majority. I mean I do care, i have a family, I coach my kids teams, im somewhat social, but would prefer to be doing my own thing with just my fam and some close friends. It's so weird man, like does anyone have tips or tricks on anything?
I'm super curious abt this shit and its been a journey the past week.

My main advice is to NOT think of aphantasia as a handicap or that you are somehow broken. It's just a different way of experiencing the world. If you have specific questions about aphantasia I can try to answer them from my experiences.
There's a lot of interesting posts on this website, so I encourage you to read some.

Yeah not for a second I thought it was a handicap, i'm more accomplished than my peers and honestly I see it as a superpower. You aren't affected by emotions and the daily nuances of life as others are. This is true for me atleast. It's freeing to focus on the present and future.
Will definitely keep reading posts, thank you and nice to meet you Neal!
