Just realized I've got Aphantasia

Complete inability to visualize in my minds eye. I cannot picture anything, hear anything, taste anything, smell anything.

Anyone else dead inside like this?

That must suck. Not only can I picture things vividly, I can imagine smells and tastes as if I was actually experiencing them. Can you do that? Do you have an internal monologue?

No. What does the voice sound like? Is it your own voice? I thought voices in your head meant you are crazy.

When I read I just see the words and know what they mean. Nothing more than that

Damn that sounds weird, I'm just like 2am with regard to these things. I remember Caeculus posting about this phenomenon before, but I can't recall its proper name.

How could you have any creative processes at all? If you were going to write, or paint, or compose music, how would you do that?

Can you fap to your imagination?

I suck hard at writing imaginative stories and painting. Can't write music at all. I have fapped but only to vague memories rather than vivid images

So can you picture memories, but just not conjure up anything new?

No I can't picture them, just sort of remember the events without visualizing them. Chit is hard to describe, but if I shut my eyes it's just total darkness

You see I can't imagine that (if you'll pardon the pun). If I close my eyes and try to picture an apple, I can picture one lifelike, cartoon, blue, red, any colour really. I can rotate it and stretch it and explode it into segments. It just sort of happens spontaneously.

Do you go to sleep easily? My mind keeps me up long after I decide to go to sleep..

No internal monologue, that just sounds weird as hell. You're right about processing and formulating thoughts. Things just happen, I don't have any internal debate about it.
