noonymoon: aphantasia is the lack of skill to imagine things visually in your mind. basically no mental images can be visualized.it’s really hard to describe what it feels like trying to imagine something with a brain that can’t imagine things. i’m not sure if this is similar to others who share this life experience, but for me it is like trying to birth an image out of a black vast desert of nothing. i personally can get a really quick mental and emotional impression of a .. kind of banana but that’s it - it disappears as quick as it appeared. i can’t visualize the banana as a real thing that i can look at and .. i don’t know how regular skilled people really see things in their mind, but i guess it works better than that, haha.for a whole bunch of time i’ve asked myself why it is so frikkin hard for me to lay down and do a nice visual meditation in which i close my eyes and visit different worlds and see beautiful things.. and just.. have this experience that everyone is talking about when they go off to meditation land. but some short time ago, i’ve realized this condition is a thing and i have it and now i’d like to share this “imaginative disability” with you - to maybe make one or the other realize what’s “wrong with them” and why they are having such a hard time with some visual matters, just like me.hope someone who needs this finds it ♡ Pretty sure this is why I’m bad at drawing but good at sculpting.
