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?

We solve these problems better in 11-dimensional spacetime actually 😇

You can’t even see a stop sign!?
That’s nuts. Like I get it, but I’d give up my eyesight before my visual-spatial sense. My cognition is way over-indexed on it to a fault, like I see my words when I speak slowly.
You see dreams though, right?
*star wars meme* …right?

Okay, I’ll resign but I just need a confirmation that one of you is dead serious: you don’t have visible dreams when you sleep?
Like ~95% of mine are wiped from memory if I don’t recall them within minutes of waking, but not even forgettable visible dreams even ~10% of nights?

I didn't say I was aphantastic, though I do have a somewhat weaker visual sense (in some ways) than many people. A lot of my friends and acquaintances are.

Have any aphantastics tried visual mnemonic techniques, like the method of loci, memory palaces, etc? Do they work at all for you?

Cannot see rotation
or just lose track of vertices easily?
Rotating or jiggling makes it easier for me to keep track of a detailed mesh. Instead of getting lost recalling a 2d labyrinth, movement helps grasp the object
like integrating both haptic & kinesthetic imagination

Jeez you guys stop being so jelly. It’s not our fault you’re trapped in an unenlightened world of sensory illusions and inner monologues.
