Are you aphantasic (unable to form mental images of things based on descriptions)?
Have you tried audiobooks?
Have you tried reading books of movies you’ve already seen (so you don’t have to keep track of characters and plot, and can focus on the elements unique to prose)?
no,i can form images in my mind easily.
i didn’t try audiobooks.
yes i tried reading books of movies,i finished the book back then after a lot of reading and didn’t like the book.
I strongly recommend getting into audiobooks. They are a good gateway into books. If audiobooks are a bit too much still try long term podcasts, they could be good gateways into audiobooks in turn.
Audiobooks are amazing
John Green claims he has aphantasia. He’s a writer.
Aphantasia is bullshit.
Ehhh it’s not bullshit but it’s more of a fun fact than a disability. I think we all have the same brain muscles to imagine things visually or have an inner voice narrating everything, etc. but some people just don’t know how to flex it. Similar to how some people can wiggle their ears and eyebrows and others can’t.
