Thanks for sharing.<p>I&#x27;m also aphantasic and the fun part of reading this was the differences between our internal experiences.  I have a great sense of direction and I love navigating and exploring new places.<p>I don&#x27;t really have a mind&#x27;s ear, either, just the &quot;milk voice&quot; as he calls it, although when I started studying Chinese and learning the tones, I had this crazy experience where I heard a melody in my head for the first time.  Now I&#x27;d say I have something like a speaker that sometimes plays music, but I can&#x27;t really control it.  (Great, now I can get music stuck in my head.)<p>I have a similar experience with episodic memory, which is strange, because generally I have a great memory.  In high school, I could read a chapter of a book and remember it word for word the next day (but my memory was not photographic!)  I&#x27;ve always been deeply unsentimental and, instead of being sad about it, my attitude has always been &quot;destroy the past to create the future.&quot;
