Joined 12 days agoa couple of months ago I heard about aphantasia on a pod cast and it all made sense. what blew my mind was the other day when i found out that people could actually hear voices in their head and taste/smell things. I scored 1 on every single question on the survey. It made me wonder about some of the things that I have struggled with throughout my life. I can have a phone call with someone and when it ends and I am asked what was said, I cant remember anything. When I have done meditations that ask me to bring up some kind of happy emotion, I am unable to feel that emotion. I could probably tell you where any item is in any supermarket I have ever been in. I can remember how to get somewhere the other side of the country having been there only once. Also I can remember peoples faces very well, but really struggle to remember their names. It is not just names that i struggle with. I regularly forget words, but rarely forget numbers. I wonder whether my ability to remember/forget some of these things is because I can not visualize them in my head. I have spoken to my 15 year old son about this and discovered that he also has it. I would not be surprised if my dad had it also, but unfortunately he has recently passed away, so i will never know.
