Not everyone can picture images in their mind's eye and remember sounds or faces - but why?

    I have it. Can’t see a damn thing in my mind. It’s just black. Never have been able to.

        I’m not sure what you mean by that. If I close my eyes, I still have a sense of the space around me, but I can’t visualize that space. I can remember, for example, that there’s a table in front of me, but I can’t visualize or see the table in my mind after closing my eyes

          i dont visually see like in color visualizing, but i can visualize 3d shapes of places that are basically lightless. probably has to do with different brain regions being used for a thing than the norm

            Sounds like I’m further towards aphantasia, because I get nothing when I close my eyes. It’s just black. It’s a void.

              i also met someone who couldn’t visualize anything because her inner voice verbal aspect was so strong it overran everything else. she felt she couldn’t visualize visually because of this reason. Constantly active inner voice and no visuals.
