Downsides of #aphantasia: I am also face blind, I don’t remember anything visually
Upside of aphantasia: I have no visual recall on anything, including bad things that might have happened to me. Once it’s happened, I never ‘see’ it anymore.
Zero. Can’t even picture my loved ones’ faces.
@skinnylatte I wonder if that's part of why you're such a great photographer. You understand how fleeting moments are, better than those of us who can recall different senses.
@Legit_Spaghetti I wonder that sometimes! I ‘see’ things ‘now’ and my other senses are very tuned up to compensate for the lack of visuals. When I write or take a photograph, I have a holistic sense of all of the feelings I am trying to convey
