My partner has Aphantasia. Brains are strange! She cannot visualize in her mind which makes it very challenging to do certain tasks and many things she does are based on muscle memory. Also interestingly when a song gets stuck in her head it is like she is making all of the sounds with her inner voice. For me, I can hear the song like there is a recording playing in my head.

You can’t picture anything in your mind’s eye? It’s not seeing for real but imagining you are looking at something. Like a memory. When you say abstract of the thing you just think of the words associated with it or along those lines?

If you can't tell, then you don't have one.

Bro I can't read if I don't read it in my head lmao

I like the reading tip! I think not many people are aware of it.

My thoughts use meaning, instead a specific words.

The whole interpreting my thoughts as natural language often takes longer than coming up with the tought itself.

This results in:

1. I often use the intersection of the languages I, and the people I speak with know.
2. When it's a topic I'm knowledgeable about, I often talk too fast and people find it hard to follow me.
3. I draw many associations and comprehending the larger picture is easy. Yet I often miss the point in the smaller picture.

Wait, people narrate the words in their head? That must be insanely slow
