> discovered that it was not normal Ah this was so surprising to me as well. It was mind blowing suddenly realizing how powerful other people's visual imagination is. Allow me to contribute to the sample size: I probably have aphantasia. It requires a lot of effort to imagine simple, basic visual details when thinking of something. I am terrible at describing faces of people I see every day, let alone strangers. But when I do see someone I know, I usually recognize them instantly, even if their face changed a bit (facial hair change, long time no see etc). I also am great with names. Once I get to know someone, I'll probably remember their name for a very long time (decades). I can remember the full name of most of my friends from 15 years ago. But other than that, my memory is really bad. I do have one odd thing that I've always wondered. Most women's faces look like the same to me. In movies, I have a hard time knowing which women they are talking about (and it takes some time to associate a name to a face). Yet, I have no such problem with men. Possibly related, I am attracted to men, which could explain why I can easily differentiate each men, but most women look the same for me. Anyone with similar experiences?
