When I read LOTR as a kid, I couldn't stand the scene descriptions that ran for multiple pages. Drove me mad, didn't understand what it was there for. Many years later I discovered I have aphantasia, no wonder I hated it.

i was just watching a video about a woman who also has aphantasia! You’re unable to visualize a scene right? I have the opposite i think: i have visual hallucinations ever since age 18

God....same, I was always confused when people said the whole count sheeps to sleep thingy. There are times when I wonder if my memory issues come from aphantasia too, not being able to visualize stuff making it harder to remember

Wow, when/how did you realize you had aphantasia? Is visualization something you can develop as a skill or would that condition just make that impossible? I wonder what causes it. My life is so enriched by being able to visualize things in detail. I wish you could too!

TIL about aphantasia - would make many books a whole lot less enjoyable!
