@skinnylatte<\/a> Somewhere else on the mental images spectrum, I had to learn that when neurotypicals say \u201cWow, how long has it been?\u201d they actually don\u2019t want to know the date when we met last, where we were, what they were wearing, what the light looked like, etc. It\u2019s a very detailed snapshot, or more like short-form video because there\u2019s also sound. Or like a couple of weeks ago I randomly bumped into someone I\u2019d never met but I recognized their name from them messaging me once on LinkedIn four years ago and in their pfp back then they were wearing a black and white striped top and their hair was parted differently and was less wavy.<\/p>

NTs think I must be obsessed with them in particular instead of just along for the ride with my brain, so I don\u2019t tell them anymore.<\/p>","generator":{"id":"tag:gnusocial.jp,2026-07-21:notice-source:ActivityPub","objectType":"application","status_net":{"source_code":"ActivityPub"}},"id":"https:\/\/hachyderm.io\/users\/LauraLangdon\/statuses\/115466642831714435","object":{"id":"https:\/\/hachyderm.io\/users\/LauraLangdon\/statuses\/115466642831714435","objectType":"note","content":"

Good article on #aphantasia<\/a>.<\/p>

Like many described in the story, I have never been able to 'picture' anything in my brain. Anything. I always thought when people told me they were imagining a scene or seeing something, that they were being allegorical.<\/p>

I therefore have no experience of what it's like to think any differently. This is the brain that I've always had. There are no pictures in it.<\/p>
