At (almost) 40 I just discovered that I have a pretty high degree of aphantasia, and that the normal thing when someone says "picture this" is to actually be able to picture objects in your mind?? What??

I don't think this has had any negative consequences during my whole life, but I can certainly understand better why I'm so bad at interior design!

If you say "picture a red apple" I can sort of visualise the concept, weirdly I get flashes of closeups of the fruit flesh, or the green stripes over a red surface... maybe the general idea of the contour, but a full image that stays clear and does not dissolve? Nope! Now I feel I'm missing out!
