Joined about 3 years agoI just found out about a year ago that I have aphantasia. I suck at reading and growing up in school we were required to read a certain amount of book in a certain time and I always struggled with completing it. I thought well maybe I suck at reading and my family thought I had dyslexia because it was so challenging to read. When I found out my parents thought there was something wrong with me and there wasn't I got upset because I felt like I was the problem. Finding out I had aphantasia kinda made me feel better because it finally made sense on why I sucked/hated reading.
I am being raised a catholic and I've stopped believing but not because of not being able to imagine God but more of not believing in catholic ideas and beliefs. But I do think I am more critical thinking than creative. I'm not sure if that's because of aphantasia or just because my brain works that way.
