        Same here. Even describing it as black is too visual.

        Is there a community for aphantasia? I wonder if there are any mechanical engineers with it.

        I have the ability to not only see designs in my head, but also how they will physically interact and I use that all the time. Without it, I wouldn’t be designing.

          I’m not sure if there is or not tbh?

          But that sure sounds like a sweet version of the ability!!!

          No not really, and on the very very rare occasion I have one, is not so much visual more just …is? Very hard to explain, and I fucking hate it, feel like I was robbed of sleep time. Lol
