Aphantasia: A Life Without Mental Images, Living With No 'Mind's Eye'

3. Very little visualization here, i think

I remember situations by how I felt and by memories of words about it.
If I meet someone, talk to them, leave, and you ask me whether they were black or white, if had dark hair or blond, there’s a chance i won’t remember the facts about there appearance, wouldn’t be able to visualize them. If I try hard I may be able to visualize something, like an outline or build up a general shape or layout, but it’s hard, definitely a weakness for me.

Always hated it when people would say “get a picture in your mind of...” I don’t think I ever put a picture there, I just put an emotional and factual memory there.
