Apparently I'm not aphantasic, but hypophantasic, depending on who is measuring (Aphantasy Network is stricter that others).
Hypophantasic, meaning I "experience some visual imagery, but it's less vivid or detailed than average. When you try to picture something, you might see faint or fleeting images." and I'd add, that they're often sort of "CAD-esque", in that defining elements of the memory are sharper. If I know specifics about the thing, it "sharpens" the blurry mental image. -

Huh, was curious about aphantasia after hearing that it might be linked to other things, and even though I was pretty certain I had it, turns out I've hypophantasia, which basically means I can't see mental images when trying to visualise things.
But I also know I wasn't always like this.. It's only been in the past.. 5-10 years that I haven't really been able to visualise things.
