I am a hyperphantasiac: for example, when someone is talking to me or telling me a story I will imagine the scene like I am watching a movie. I have an inner monologue for some things such as reading a book or text messaging someone. In both cases, when I am reading words that are not my own, I will vividly imagine the person speaking what they have written down. I know about that silly apple test where someone asks you, "How vividly can you picture an apple in your head?" and I would imagine myself floating in a blank white space holding the apple and picking off the stem, taking a bite, seeing the glistening of the dew on the apple, chucking the apple away... etc. What I'm curious about are people who have aphantasia and/or do not experience an inner monologue. How must these people experience life? Memories? Reading? It's very foggy to me. Would anyone here happen to know or be someone who thinks this way?
