I wonder if this is really real (aphantasia I mean) . I know that it can be blocked so it's probably brain area related.

As long as you can remember the shape of objects and recall them to draw on paper as a kid, I think that you probably are capable of conjuring images up your mind (or sound, or perhaps even touch).

Then, I have had time I felt my internal visualization was unusually impeded.

I have aphantasia and it’s definitely a real thing. I realised I have it after seeing it on a daytime TV show when it was first discovered. Before then, like what happened with the writer of this, everyone just dismissed it as nonsense, “of course you can see images in your head!”

Finding out it was a condition was a very exciting day. today now also feels like an exciting day!
