Fascinating! I wonder how this affects the phenomenon of intrusive thoughts?
I should add that when I had these, it was a very visual thing. I guess you could have intrusive thoughts that aren't visual.
This was *incredibly* fascinating. First I noticed the term "aphantasia" which reminded me of The NeverEnding Story, then read on and thought, "Wait, so for some it's The Nothing and that's it?"
Shocked to read that it doesn't necessarily inhibit creativity. How can one create without imagining? 😳
I know I'm oversimplifying it; trying to work with Bluesky character limits. Suffice to say I find this topic extremely interesting, especially since the personal impacts are not always what I would expect.
