I mean, scientifically speaking, do you have any meta-analysis about imaginary cow rotationism?

      Yup. A lot of people have trouble actually picturing stuff in their mind

      Like I know what a cow looks like. I could paint one (badly but I think that’s only kinda related). But I can’t vividly imagine a cow

      Hi, yes I have aphantasia too and can’t picture things :) personally I remember being able to when I was younger but I lost the ability somewhere around my teens.

        I’m sorry if this comes across as insensitively worded but…did you suffer any brain injury or anything when you were younger? Apparently we are now learning even just randomly hitting your head (not even hard) while the brain is still developing can have significant effects as you grow older.

          I don’t really recall anything, maybe a random bump, I used to be rather clumsy. In my early 20s I definitely suffered some trauma though.
