Same, or at least I can't "hold onto" anything I try to visualize. I can manage a brief flash of a vague image. I wonder if it's related to my near complete inability to recognize faces.

Well, considering most people look the same or very similar to me, I'd say yes, it's related.

The condition is called aphantasia, in case you didn't know and want to read more, but not much is known about it.

Edit: Another thing I realized sometime last year is that I have trouble remembering where I left things, constantly looking for something. Turns out people usually visualise where they left stuff.
