gm, fun fact: 50%-80% of people do not have inner monologue if you have a "voice" in your head — you're "abnormal" psychologytoday.com/us/blog/pristine-inner-experience/201110/not-everyone-conducts-inner-speech

Posit strong correlation with aphantasia. Would be hard to operate with no mind's eye and no inner monologue.

I wonder if folks with aphantasia can dream. If they can, it should be pretty easy to imagine objects. But then again, I am not a neuro-scientist

I can dream perfectly vividly, but cannot visualize anything when awake. I’m on the more extreme side — I can’t summon forth any imagery, which is unfortunate for me because I can’t even remember family, friends, or my spouse’s face beyond rote list of details.

TIL , never heard this experience of not being able to visualize in your mind Do you ever have the experience of dissociation, where you're not present due to being stuck in memories or a trauma?

No, I do have anxiety in social situations with large groups sometimes though, but it’s context dependent — weirdly I have no problem giving talks with large audiences.
