does anyone else have #aphantasia? I learned, only this year, that people can "see" things in their heads. I don't have any real endgame on asking this, but find myself curious. #refractive

@ben I have no idea where I fit in. I can visualize things fine, and even think visually, but I can't recall faces at will even if they are very familiar to me. It's like I've got prosopagnosia, but only when I'm visualizing, not when I'm recognizing someone.

@ben When I try go recall a face, it's like a jumble of details minus any high-level organization. So like a nose, and the corner of a mouth, and an eyebrow, all in random, shifting, unspecified placement, but never a whole face.
