Comment on Handy tip
Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoI have full visual in auditorial aphantasia. No visualization, no inner monologue and no ability to recall. Sounds in my head.
All of my thoughts are basically conceptual connections between ideas. Sort of like everything is a gut feeling? Like if I know something I just know it. I really don’t have a better way to explain this.
It makes it incredibly easy to just do things that I know how to do. Nothing gets in the way and that’s incredibly reliable recall.
The moment I have to explain to anyone else I am completely at a loss. I very rarely can give any reference directions or any meaningful help short of just saying do the thing.
Like you want me to do a 35–step process exactly repeatedly without any error. I can do that. Not a problem.
You need me to walk someone through a three-step process and one of those steps involves something they do automatically like beat their heart. Yeah no I’m not even getting past the first step. Good luck.

How do you read?
I have aphantasia and I have to subvocalize each word that I want to read.
