The apple-less should not be shamed, but pitied. For they are unable to keep doctors away from their doorstep

Of their mind
Okay, yeah, but can you turn off the music in your head?
Hell nah and I couldn't survive without it
I can't image life without it and it makes me sad there are those who can't experience it.
Yeah, learn how to play an instrument. Rapidly play multiple songs after each other. For a little while it'll be quiet. I usually end up having one of the songs I played in my head after a bit though. But it'll get rid of really annoying songs.
I recently learned that Mariah Carey "Fantasy" can play over any other song in my head and it has been a major blessing.
Hey Don't write yourself off yet
It just takes some time
I’m apple-less. But I can’t picture you shaming me.
Ooh that one's good!
Does anyone else have a visual memory that doesn't work consistently?
There are days that I can "see" a picture crystal clear high definition in my mind. And there's other days that I "see" everything blurred, or under a fog, or hidden in something like TV static/noise.
Nope, pretty consistent for me. Does you sleep quality or hydration affect it?
I really don't know. I will pay attention on it from now on...
Kind of? But it's less specific days and more certain things.
Like apples are simple so I can see them easily, but if it's something I'm not use to it's kind hard to put into focus or the shape shiftd or something.
I sometimes get blurry flashes of memories that I can use to know what it looked like but I don't actually see it (just the blurry part)
I get that kind of brain fog when I'm dehydrated or have gone for long periods without reading a book.
I get that sometimes, like reading a book and visualizing what's on the paper rather well, or my braino-o-vision isn't working.
Yup, I also have times where pulses in clarity.
We bullying those with aphantasia now?
Always have been 🗣️🔫
Are we taking shitposts seriously now?
That's the thing though isn't it? People always have so why do you expect them to stop now?
Damn I've read about aphantasia before but never seen it depicted in a graph with levels... turns out I'm around a 4.. thats weird.
Here is a slightly different (but better resolution) image:
That's pretty interesting. I never gave it much thought, but apparently I'm between a 2 & 3 at the moment
I'm solidly a 1 and I can't fathom anything else. I'd love to read studies about this.
Ide love to see what you can see when you read or listen to a book. It would take so much less energy to read as much as i do. It must be like watching a movie playout inside your head with the best narrator i could imagine
I'm a 1 on that chart and I struggle to understand how you can even follow what's happening in a book without being able to imagine it.
I mean, you have to be able to fill in the gaps don't you? Books can't describe every detail.
Short answer is, you can't. That's why I don't read books.
Longer answer is that even if you read a book you can still understand what of happening in the book, you simply won't get a visual image of what you read. Makes books pretty boring to read IMO.
Linked concepts and context.
No, you don't have to, especially if you've never known any different. It's like the difference between a sketch and a photo. If the artist's any good they can capture the essence of something with a few lines.
You're spot on. I genuinely tend to forget if I've read a book or watched a movie/series if it's been a few years.
I feel like I'm between 4 and 5 if I try to imagine something on purpose but if I'm reading a book or someone is describing something to me I'm a solid 1 as I can vividly see what it's being described.
I don’t know if I’m a 1 or 5. I can’t tell the difference between picturing a fully realistic image of an apple and imagining what my brain tells me is a fully realistic image of an apple and I can’t conceive of how one could tell the difference.
ya I'd say I'm between 3 and 4 it's there but definitely not clearly more of a vague understanding
0 I can create apples with a mere thought.
What if the apple is green because I only eat Granny Smiths?
then you're a fucking lunatic
Waaahhh... Not like I wanted an apple in the first place.
Btw I feel like this is good place to promote !aphantasia@lemmy.world Not very active but maybe others could help change that.
not very active
Maybe potential users simply can't see themselves interacting there.
That's peak bliss right there
I don't give two fucks, but I am telling you right now. That motherfucker back there's mental apple.. is not real!
Today I learned that I had aphantasia lvl 4+
