I have yet to meet someone without an internal monologue. It's all over their face and in their eyes.
all the same information is still there but it's just in a different format...
like you might think to yourself literally the words, "I need to go to the bathroom." after experiencing a sense of urgency.
But, I would just picture the toilet I am about to go to, the pathway to the toilet on an arial view like a blueprint or a map, a gif of me opening the door to the toilet, etc. and many other related things to toilets like, images of hand sanitizer and, maybe 3D structures of a kidney. And I'll think about how much water I had that day, images of several glasses of water, or memories flashing of the times I took a sip. Or sometimes even older memories will flash up, all relating to, using the bathroom. The smell of toilets. etc. it Will all be there at once like BAM. Sometimes even cartoons I've watched, involving toilets or, gifs from TV shows I remember seeing- involving scenes with toilets. will come to mind. The words, "porcelain throne" will float through my head. Or, a story I heard a comedian tell once about the time he used a toilet in a Home Depot (childish Gambino stand up comedy) and I will see the images of him, standing on a stage, moving like a movie. The expressions on his face. The sound of the audiences laughter.
Hold the phone...
If you can visualize all of that, then are you sure that what you have is actually aphantasia?
I'm not up to speed on that particular condition or what causes it.
But if you can picture a music vid in that much detail, then you must be able to pull the movie of your life out of your mind and squeeze the images you want out of it?
And that explains a lot about why ppl here think I'm crazy lol No analogous reasoning skills to hold up as a lens to the goofy expressions I use to describe the mish mash of emotion and sensation jumping around in my brain :D You poor dears. I can barely imagine a life inside a boring mind with no pictures or recollections of taste and scent, and little to no grasp on metaphor and analogy. That would be horribly boring. No wonder you ppl are so obsessed with sex :(
