That sounds a bit like Semantic Satiation, where words (usually when repeated) suddenly stop making sense. I have no actual information about that; your description simply reminded me of it.
Discovering I had aphantasia so late in life -- I'm 56 -- just reinforced the knowledge that everyone is wired differently and therefore approaches Life from different directions. I knew that, intellectually, but it was still kind of a slap in the face. [2]
[2] No reason for the footnote. I'm just trying to fit in around here. Maybe if I had multiple footnotes it would make more sense....
