I have aphantasia, though not completely.
Until a few years ago, I thought that people being able to visualize things super vividly in their was something that only existed in cartoons. Like, I can occasionally picture simple shapes, but even on a good day, it's really hard to make out and not in color. I also learned that some people can also smell, taste, and feel in their head, which is really strange to me! The only sense I can imagine is hearing, but even then, it's pretty abstract, and I'm not sure how to describe it. 🤔 The only solid memories I have are facts, feelings, and algorithms, and everything is all linked together.
