Water is not actually touching my skin, due to the nuclear forces…

My body is interacting with the water through magnetic fields

No not really, and on the very very rare occasion I have one, is not so much visual more just …is? Very hard to explain, and I fucking hate it, feel like I was robbed of sleep time. Lol

Same here. Even describing it as black is too visual.

Is there a community for aphantasia? I wonder if there are any mechanical engineers with it.

I have the ability to not only see designs in my head, but also how they will physically interact and I use that all the time. Without it, I wouldn’t be designing.

I’m not sure if there is or not tbh?

But that sure sounds like a sweet version of the ability!!!

Yep. The idea of up and down is just due to who made the maps first.

I read a bunch of philip k dick books a few months ago, and had a sensation that I’m not actually my current age. I’m actually on my deathbed, dreaming or in a half-wake state, and all my experiences are disjointed half-rememberings of things I might have done. And there’s no way to prove any of it either way.
