Number 5 for me. All my life I thought all people were like that. This cartoon is about me.
Including the voice in my head, I don't have one.
Smell, music, feelings. Nope. Aphantasia for me, to the max. Sometimes it drives my wife crazy (oh, and it drives me crazy too).

@WGAvanDijk @Chrishallbeck I’m sorry if this is a dumb question. I’m not trying to be insensitive or rude. If I am, just say so & I’ll delete this. How do you think about stuff without the voice? I have to use the voice to decide what I’m going to type. What is your mind like when you’re thinking about what to write back?

Not a dumb question, I have the same, and I only started thinking about it when I realised I have aphantasia and what it means to have aphantasia.

I hear my own voice. But it's not my voice, because it "sounds" different. I read somewhere that it is called "milk voice", a mirky opaque solution. And it's not really a voice.
