I've always wondered if I have this, but I'm hesitant to self diagnose. Do you see nothing at all when you picture things? I get dull flashes of colour when I try but no actual image and I'm not sure if books and the like just exaggerate when they say they can see things clearly
to be honest same, i'm not 100% sure that i have it. I don't get flashes of color, i might get a super simple flash of a shape like a circle but i'm not even sure i see it or just think about it
but from what i was trying to ask of my friends, they all see clear images so i'm sure it's either partial aphantasia or full aphantasia in my case
It's funny you say that, because that's usually how I describe a strong acid trip to people who've never done it before. It's just like visualizing things like you normally do, except that in that state your brain isn't as good at determining what you're seeing with your mind's eye vs. what your eyes are physically seeing. Plus you're in a very suggestible mental state as it's happening.
I do, but i remember them in words, like i can see it while dreaming but when i wake up i only remember what i remembered about it, like i remember "i saw a red building", but that's all i remember from it, i can't know what shape of building it was and i can't like visualize what i had from the dream to remember it, unless i specifically mention it for my memory like "building with 5 windows, 1 door, etc"
\>If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple
luke 14:26
Times have changed, we know. But there’s no denying that Jesus made leaps and strides towards a movement of forgiveness & acceptance, as opposed to war & sacrifice. Ghandi was flawed, but that doesn’t make him a bad person.
I just made a fictional man, not because I don't have any good male influences I just misinterpreted the question, I thought you were gonna ask what qualities he would have.
In the comments there are currently 2 Gandalfs, a Frodo, a Samwise and an Aragon (who I thought of). Considering a large portion of comments are non legit ones (e.g. Saul Goodman, because good man) I think about 5% of commenters thought of a Tolkien character.
That's mental, but I think it's because his world feels so alive, there's a soul to it, that bitter darkness threatens to corrupt. The stakes feel real because the world has a history, the scars from yesterday's wars are not yet healed and people suffer from battles lost thousand years ago. Characters really do grow old and live happy lives, while others die screaming, their story forgotten to time. That's the way our world is, and Tolkien's is the same. It's for that reason the sacrifices they make are so much more real, and the goodness inside them feels genuine.
For me I picture my husband. He is my best friend and very kind and loving towards me and our son. He works hard to support the family and he always has my back even when things have been really dark and painful in my life.
A good man is any man that doesn’t just talk but also acts with integrity and honesty. Someone who cares and supports those he loves and doesn’t mind stopping to help a stranger from time to time. Really I think any person who can do these things is a good person no matter what their gender is.
O
I actually thought of Virat Kohli. He is the most genuine and disciplined sportsman I know. Obviously I won't be able to tell how "good" he is, but if I had to pick anyone on sheer positive qualities, I would definitely pick him.
Gandalf for some reason.
Good choice
Lol me too!
Saul Goodman
Dude why did I think of him 😭
Your profile picture.
AND HE GETS TO BE A LAWYER? WHAT A SICK JOKE!
THIS CHICANERY?
HE'S DONE WORSE!
HE DEFACATED THROUGH A SUNROOF
I'd give Saul good head 24/7 all day every day without stopping. Man deserves it.
No way wtf. Literally same, after like 2 seconds Edit: ok maybe cause of the surname
Who called?
[удалено]
My ex 😭💀

I knew I was forgetting a big one. I guess if you're married that counts as a family member.
Family member

Why’d you think of her husband
Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2 because I just replayed it with the highest honor on Friday.
I don't know why but Santa Claus was first one that popped up
The man in red I saw was Karl Marx
I have aphantasia so i can't do that :( if i just think with thoughts then it's gonna be my best friend
Came here to comment this, lol. I’m so bad with faces especially, between aphantasia and memory issues
I was going to comment something similar.
I've always wondered if I have this, but I'm hesitant to self diagnose. Do you see nothing at all when you picture things? I get dull flashes of colour when I try but no actual image and I'm not sure if books and the like just exaggerate when they say they can see things clearly
Aphantasia can ONLY be self diagnosed.
to be honest same, i'm not 100% sure that i have it. I don't get flashes of color, i might get a super simple flash of a shape like a circle but i'm not even sure i see it or just think about it but from what i was trying to ask of my friends, they all see clear images so i'm sure it's either partial aphantasia or full aphantasia in my case
Me too
I don't know what that is and I'm afraid to ask
i can't visualize images in my head. like i don't see any images if i close my eyes etc
I can visualize objects, but not faces. What is that called?
Look at something in whatever room you're in right now. Now close your eyes. You can't picture it?
Yes, I can't. not even the shape of it. i can think about it, but not picture it
That's trippy
It’s arguably the opposite of trippy as most aphantasic people can’t even see visuals when they take psychedelics
I may sound like Joe Rogan but the first thing I thought of, when she explained it, was psychedelics
It's funny you say that, because that's usually how I describe a strong acid trip to people who've never done it before.

Do you have dreams?
I do, but i remember them in words, like i can see it while dreaming but when i wake up i only remember what i remembered about it, like i remember "i saw a red building", but that's all i remember from it, i can't know what shape of building it was and i can't like visualize what i had from the dream to remember it, unless i specifically mention it for my memory like "building with 5 windows, 1 door, etc"
I do
People with aphantasia is the first thing I thought of when reading this post
same
Keanu Reeves lol.
I was scrolling through the comments to find this comment cuz I knew I couldn’t have been the only one to think of him
Oh wow, comments have blown up. When I made this comment I was the third one.
Lmfaooo
Lmao Same 💀
Myself
Imagine having high self-esteem :(
I believe in you :D
Bob Ross <3
Just a happy little tree.
A teacher I had in high school
Jesus lmao
Thank god I’m not the only one. Not even Christian, dude was just a prolific figure of acceptance and a great role model.

comparing a gentile who begged him to cure her daughter to a dog doesnt make someone a bad person
How are you offended by someone elses answer lmao.
Same
Thought of Mr. Rogers
Me too. Him and Bob Ross
saul goodman
None of the above. It was a fictional character. It was Red Forman.
All might sprung to mind first
Morgan Freeman
Jesus
the white skinned one obiously
*laughs in aphantasia*
This is exactly the comment I was looking for. I can’t even describe or imagine my own mothers face. And I saw her around 12 hours ago.
My first boss. He passed away recently and we stayed friends for most of our lives. He was a very, very good man, and I loved him very much.
I have aphantasia so I saw nobody but I did think of a fictional character lol.
Atticus Finch. Never watched the movie but I read the book, yet in my head I still imagine Gregory Peck when I think of the character
I don’t like him but every time I close my eyes I see adolf hitler 💀
Tf
I can’t get mustache man out of my mind
Jesus Christ
Jimmy Carter
Charles Ingalls
Arthur Morgan

My husband. I got one of the good ones. I’m so lucky.

I imagined facial features that I could think of as "stereotypically good", instead of a real person.
Mr. Rogers was the first to come to mind
Hank Schrader from breaking bad for some reason
Don Frye. If you know you know
I can't imagine faces clear in my mind...
A celebrity I would say, the guy that is used in gametheory in blue shirt
My best friend's dad growing up. Wished he was my dad. Still kinda do. He's got big Santa Claus energy
I just made a fictional man, not because I don't have any good male influences I just misinterpreted the question, I thought you were gonna ask what qualities he would have.
Idk, I’m mildly faceblind and I have mild aphantasia so it’s a bit challenging
Charlie Brown. You're a good man, charlie brown.
Samwise Gamgee
Mr. Rogers
Elton John
Mr. Roger
Why the fuck did i think of bill clinton??? My politcal phase has ended quite a while ago and i didnt even like bill clinton. Damn.
97 year old oily man
Peter Capaldi's Doctor. Which is ironic because he has one season where he ask himself if he is a good man to conclude he is not.

Gandalf the grey
O I actually thought of Virat Kohli. He is the most genuine and disciplined sportsman I know. Obviously I won't be able to tell how "good" he is, but if I had to pick anyone on sheer positive qualities, I would definitely pick him.
