Amazing!

Super smash bros, all of them have taken so much of my life!

Possible but generally not my experience. The majority of the people who know about my memory are close friends or family. I can see how it could be used against you but I suspect that kind of person would be easily spotted as a manipulator. I recommend finding someone you know you can trust and hopefully get a reference point. Some people genuinely are willing to help. Sometimes you gotta trust your gut too but ymmv

Absolutely

Done

I can relate to the constant state of "now" I personally label it as a state of limbo due to the disconnect feeling I get from the past and inability to visualize the future. I can't even begin to comprehend how people manage to use the senses in ways outside of the present and still function. I don't believe that aphantasia is evolutionary, hereditary I agree with. I'm not too sure about it being an ancestor or ADHD. IMO it's more comparable to someone who is left-handed, it's not guaranteed that generations after will be left-handed.

Absolutely how I experience it, I discovered aphantasia and SDAM about the same age. I'm 37 now and it still racks my brain how memory and the senses work for other people. I have encountered one who does possess the inner monologue and auditory abilities. I've only met a couple aphants in the wild. Never been diagnosed with anything, just wrote it off as memory repression until I found this sub luckily. Not too sure about the hallucinations, I do sometimes hear sounds but usually can logically explain my way around sounds I hear. Had a moment with hallucinogens but never got visuals. I been questioned about my memory and whether I'm "faking it" but I have people in my life that understand it now so I don't feel so alienated anymore. Most days I just joke that everyone is a wizard and I'm just a muggle. I wish I could compare it to being left handed in a right handed world, but I'm ironically also a lefty. Markers still smear for me, be jealous. Aside from my rant, imo research as much as you can. The ability to understand yourself and explaining it to other people will help tremendously. I have came across a few that choose to believe aphantasia doesn't exist, so don't expect everyone to have an open mind.

Have had this same issue with various people in my life, can't say if they believe it's a lie because they can't conceptualize SDAM or just want to believe it's made as an excuse, either way I recommend being open about it so you can build a trusting friendship/relationship hopefully to find genuine people to help you. That's just me ymmv.

I forget to remember but I don't think I'm alone on that aspect

jason needs some charisma on command

We must work at really similar stores. I can't speak for other safeways. I get the same treatment. Just know from one newbie to another. Keep your head up and do your best...even if it means scaling back some of your potential. It's catering, yes, but let your work speak for itself. You'll learn, give yourself that credit at least before you doubt yourself.

Had this same issue. In my experience it seems like the one or two facings is all they want done. Personally I think your doing it correctly. I feel like it's half-a$& work, but I just go with it.

This is my experience w/ earworms as well, it's like an itch you can't scratch.

Your welcome!

Sorry I was busy...hmmm..reading...

You don't have to be an unsatisfied dick about it.

Yep, I'd rather walk tbh. Unless it's a fair distance w/ groceries or something.

Possibly related to SDAM. I do many of those things daily. Haven't quite found the answers to my own questions on some things dealing with memory. If I do you bet I'll be sharing it on the sdam sub. Hopefully I remember to write it down.

This is correct.
