Mr. Rogers would approve.

I you know, there's psychological help available for incels like you. With a little work, you might get past your self loathing and, so become less loathsome yourself. You might even be able to find someone who'd have sexual relations with you at last! Wouldn't that be nice, honestly? Give it a try.

Glad I have aphantasia instead of angry little man syndrome like him!

[–] Zendegy@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

You're such an angry little so-and-so. Why do you care about what doesn't concern you. Silly.

Imagining does not equal having a mental image. I see nothing when I close my eyes, even if I try to picture my child.

I have total aphantasia and am exactly the same.

[–] Zendegy@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

I have all the senses, but not emotions. Didn't know that was a thing!

And then there's the hyperphantastics. My friend can close her eyes and replay scenes in her mind like a movie! Blew my mind.

I found it very interesting to learn that they believe aphantasics can form the mental image, they just can't access it. Minds are amazing!

Yeah. I just talk the talk to most people, cause it's easier. I'm lucky, though, that one of the people I'm closest to also has the full works of aphantasia, anauralia, and the other one I can never remember. Also AuDHD.

She'll get through it. I had a similar experience, but it passed. I can't picture my daughter in my mind, but I can describe her and recognize her and, as it happens, she has aphantasia, too. Indeed, I only realized I did because of her. She said that, because she is autistic and has always known how different she is, she knew it wasn't just metaphorical when people spoke of "mind's eye" and "picturing" things. Remind her of how much aphantasia frees her from. I wouldn't trade.
