Hey, I'm a newbie here from Reddit. I like your comment enough that is like to follow you, but I cannot figure out how; can you help?

While in a cabinet meeting with all his creepy, brainless minions and his hubby, Musk, in attendance.

Mr. Rogers would approve.

I have total aphantasia and am exactly the same.

[-] Zendegy@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

I have all the senses, but not emotions. Didn't know that was a thing!

And then there's the hyperphantastics. My friend can close her eyes and replay scenes in her mind like a movie! Blew my mind.

I found it very interesting to learn that they believe aphantasics can form the mental image, they just can't access it. Minds are amazing!

Yeah. I just talk the talk to most people, cause it's easier. I'm lucky, though, that one of the people I'm closest to also has the full works of aphantasia, anauralia, and the other one I can never remember. Also AuDHD.

She'll get through it. I had a similar experience, but it passed. I can't picture my daughter in my mind, but I can describe her and recognize her and, as it happens, she has aphantasia, too. Indeed, I only realized I did because of her. She said that, because she is autistic and has always known how different she is, she knew it wasn't just metaphorical when people spoke of "mind's eye" and "picturing" things. Remind her of how much aphantasia frees her from. I wouldn't trade.

Ha! I posed this query to my daughter just the other day. We are both aphantastic and have no chess abilities at all.

Is that lemme.ee speak, or is my confusion just because I'm old and tech-stupid?
