My Aphantasia or Blind Mind's Eye | Yes Aphants CAN Imagine

My Aphantasia or Blind mind's Eye (Yes Aphants CAN Imagine!) -
This was my Aphantasia Video Audition for Anthony Padilla's mental health series about the blind third eye or non visual thinkers!
#whatisaphantasia #blindmindseye #imagestreaming

I've also linked some other video's i've created about Aphantasia below😁🥰

I didn't submit this on time because,
Welp i'm just gonna blame my ADHD and being an ENFP for that haha!
So here it is anyway because there isn't a lot of Aphantasia content out there!
Well not until Anthony finishes his Aphantasia episode at least xD
I hope people can relate to what I've shared or find it helpful in some way :] x

OMG I'm 2 minutes in and can relate much. I have always photographed EVERYTHING... And my husband who drove large delivery trucks for years always teases me about how I get lost leaving the driveway. I'm so overwhelmed right now. Ok finishing the video😁

[leonmckenzie]

This is the most relatable video ever! It really makes me feel so validated and relieved that I'm not just weird. I get lost so much! I can live somewhere for years but I struggle to know where things are and use Google Maps everywhere.

I also didn't get why people got so worked up about "that isn't how I imagined this character" from books. I literally just never imagined them

[SivaD]

I am 💯 the same with photos! Ever since I can remember, I was always the person with the camera taking pictures! I just learned this Aphantasia was a thing! Now, I understand why people always thought I was obsessed with pictures! They were always like “why do you have to take pictures of EVERYTHING?” I could not understand why they didn’t want to remember! Turns out they could, I was the only one who couldn’t. Crazy!! I feel cheated! 😂 New sub...if I remember...

[silentnoise]

I love this channel. I really think you deserves more subscribers :))

[thestarseednews]

I get you bro. Me too. It’s been bothering me my whole life especially after I became more spiritual and want to visualize for manifestation and meditation.

[ambriaernst]

I struggle with so much because of aphantasia and literally nobody understands what I’m talking ab but I rate to everything u said and way more😩😩 I can’t remember my boyfriends face when he’s sitting right next to me if I’m not looking at him. I know he has curly hair and thick eyebrows and piercings but I can’t put all that info together to form a picture in my mind. I just have to memorize details which effects my memory a lot. Most of my memories I can only remember based on the way that memory made me feel. I can’t replay it or imagine it at all:(( it gets sad and lonely

[dogliker]

OMG. In the 10 mins I’ve been looking through your vids, and searching up wtf Aphantasia is... you’ve made me realise I have this! Everything you described here is what I go through. Fuck. Thank you! I guess..?!

[jennya]

I have aphantasia and have a theory that we are less traumatized by our past because we can’t visualize it when we remember it….I’ve put this theory into practice by asking people who over share but have no affect attached to their over sharing if they have aphantasia and typically I’m spot on (but they had no idea they had it until I asked them) I’ve shared this bit of insight with other therapists as well (side note I work pretty well with trauma and criminals because I can’t picture what they are sharing so it doesn’t seem to traumatize me back which is a real complication of working in behavior health long term)

[jikangaaru]

I think of aphanatsia as having mental blindsight, we can tell how things look like as the images are processed subconsciously however we don’t experience anything visual

[JimDeegan]

I'm still not convinced people are messing with me when they say they can see images in their heads.

[J.Cee-.]

Its things like this that make me honestly question reality. I'm really starting to belive that we really are in a simulation.

I wonder how aphantasia affects peoples astrology signs. I’m a Gemini and I’m supposed to be super creative, and I love art and music but literally have never been able to make art effectively or learn an instrument. Basically I suck at everything but I’m very smart at the same time. I don’t get it.

The Minds Eye and the Third Eye are two very different things. No judgment or argument just info. <3

[azarelthecreator]

Ability to see imagery with the minds eye has nothing to do with your "third eye" and open third eye isn't something that gives you special vision, this shows people's lack of understanding of what it is. Having an open third eye is having an unbreakable intuition and being able to SEE the truth in everything not visually see.
