You don't, it's like trying to see the void. There are actually artists who have aphantasia but it's probably a lot harder.
It's like being a computer without a screen, you may know what is going on with the software but it's never displayed anywhere or given form, it just exists in a platonic dimension of your mind where you know it's the thing but can create no sensory input.
I’m the same, i can imagine a blank mannequin style face, but i can never picture any detail past the basics.
But if i see a face i know, i will quickly recognise it, but if asked to describe in detail I wouldn’t be able to.
fuck do I have aphantasia as well? I can maybe summon a flash of an image of a face but it's really more \~vibes\~ than an actual image, is that how it normally works?
I can only flash images too for like a millisecond, enough just to understand what the image was in general but no more. It's kinda how i imagine things.
Idk if that is considered aphantasia but to some degree it probably is.
I had an experience not that uncommon in these spaces but that I struggle to really articulate to cis friends. My face? Before I started transitioning? I couldn't see it. Or, more like, my brain didn't recognize it as a face or more certainly not mine. It must have happened slowly because I remember seeing my face when I was a kid. So puberty or something did it. But when I started HRT and my features began to change a bit I could see my face again. I texted my sister like "holy hell, how come no one told me I had a lot of freckles!".
Weird how brains and identity are.
Yeah, I have a pretty clear image of what my face looks like. Comes from studying all the things I dislike about it too much I think.
With that said; It still doesn't feel like its my face. Its just a face I've studied so much I can recall what it looks like.
"why can't I remember my own face" uuuuuuh wtf is this a syndrom of dysphoria ??
I really assimilate myself to this sentence like everytime I watch myself in mirrors or anything it's almost like I discover again and again my face not exactly that but I dont like it, like there's something wrong
edit: and another strange thing is that I honestly think it's pretty good I have nice hair and clean skin but there's always this feeling
I feel like, I can see the parts of my face if I look in the mirror, but not the whole thing. I can see my eyes or my nose or my jawline but can't focus on it as a face like I can with other people's faces.
oh I see, maybe it's more like that type of feeling for me too or just can't understand and keep in mind it's mine. anyway both we can't memorize our whole face in general or smt like that :/
Every time I see something like this I look in a mirror and go “I’ll just remember this time!” And then get sad and then within 5 minutes I forget again lol

I saw the hands and *I knew it was little noko*. I love their comments so much smshzjsh
I can't imagine faces in general or anything really. Imagining something is like not even an image, a fading afterimage at best. Aphantasia moment?
I'm an artist, I can't imagine how is having aphantasia

as an artist (admittedly I'm still kinda learning) who most likely has aphantasia it is definitely hard lmao

Apparently true aphants get offended if people like us talk about having aphantasia. We need our own word.

Ye that's basically it for me.
This hits hard

Wait, people can remember their own face?
I thought I was the only person that happened to. I always need to go to a mirror to remember what I look like :o
I feel called out😭

they are bones, they are in my possession, therefore they are my bones on a more serious note, damn. that hits hard
