I have aphantasia, a mental disorder where I lack all internal visualization. I cannot “picture” things in my mind, I think in words and numbers and such. With this, I am very curious how the mental imagery works for the rest of you. Do you see it separate from your main vision? Does it get interposed? Is it like picture in picture? I’m baffled!
TIA.

The problem with these kinds of questions is nobody knows what someone else is experiencing. When I ask myself “what do I experience compared to what this person reports?” My honest answer is I really don’t know.
Often when I have heard people report they have no inner monologue I think this is a terminology thing because to me this is synonymous with saying “I have no thoughts”
