I'm starting to feel everyone's aphantasic. (Or aphantastic, as it should be.)
I first talked about it in 2016 on a call with with ~6 or 7 people, mostly artists. "1% of the population are aphantastic". Turned out ~half of 'em were both aphantastic & synaesthetic.

Wait.
Serious question:
so if I say “a stop sign”
…you absolutely cannot sense even a red octagon in your mind?
If you have a bowl,
then look away to fill a cup with water, you can’t even “feel” whether that will be too little/much water for the bowl without direct eyesight?

Maybe people who are creatively involved in both STEM & the arts (pros in one, serious hobbyist in the other). That was everyone on that call, and it describes many of my friends & acquaintances...
