People who are 1s and 2s on this scale, do you watch adult video?

:( You just made me realize I'm only a 3 and I'm missing out on color mode. This hurts.

Dude, I'm a 5 lol

That's a legitimate nightmare for me. No offense but that feels incredibly dark and bleak, I'm sorry you don't get to see pictures in your head buddy. 🙁

It's one of those things where I didn't know until I was in my 30s and figured imagining things meant thinking about them and not actually seeing them.

If you don't know what it's like you can't miss something, ya know? But there are experiments that are trying to give visualisations to aphantasia folk. I'm not sure I'd try it because then I would be missing something.

But, big pro: I can see absolute horrific stuff and I'll never be able to reimagine it. Describe a vile, nasty car wreck? Can't see it but I know it's bad. It has weird benefits

Just in case you're worried that you're locked in -- you're not. Abstain from listening to music, watching TV, and consuming media for a week or two, and watch your brain literally glitter into life to provide you with entertainment.

If you want a more short-term solution: waking up after lack of sufficient sleep, and wandering to the bathroom in half-sleep mode should put you in a state of mind where it's easy to "hear" a desired song playing in your head.

I assume you responded to the wrong person?

no, you hinted that you were stuck as a 3, and I'm telling you that it's not fixed.

So when I was a child and these things didn't exist and I wasn't watching screens, why was it exactly the same? Why has it been the exact same at every stage of my life never weaker nor stronger? I'm just trying to get at the point that you're full of shit and probably pulled that straight out of your own ass.

This is a public discussion. I was offering my two cents on how you or others could better their position on visualisation. I don't quite understand where the hostility is coming from, but you coming back with your own two cents on being hard-wired naturally means that my advice does not apply to you.
