So I just read something and that makes me wonder...

Do people with aphantasia (like myself) more often have an inner dialogue that is "speech-like", you know actually speaking words in a language

Or (like me), more often just "vibes" and their inner thoughts only becomes language once these need to be expressed

(I also added the options for people who have no aphantasia [have phantasia I guess] so we can compare results 😄)

Boosting is appreciated ❤ī¸

@spiegelmama @NicksWorld No mind's eye. No ability "see things in your head". We do have an imagination, just not visually/graphically.

@hvangalen @spiegelmama oh, okay. I have the ability to see in my mind's eye even though I'm blind.

@spiegelmama @NicksWorld This is so fascinating to me. Curious to know if you have always been blind. (I don't need an answer if you don't feel comfortable sharing)

@NicksWorld This is so intriguing that a blind person can have a mind's eye, but my mind's eye is blind.

The mind and body work in mysterious ways, eh

@hvangalen @spiegelmama It can be very vivid sometimes. I can make entire worlds in my head when I feel like it.
