The Things You Are HAPPY About Thread.

I’m surprised it’s inappropriate behaviour towards young women, I’d have thought he was a fan of that Swiss football team young boys

Playing keepy uppy with a childs birthday balloon for 20 minutes never gets old. (Even if you get a bollocking for not letting the child have a go)

Just booked a luxury cottage for a week in Devon over Christmas for next year. We’ve meant to do it for years but the time is now right.

The cottage is 3 minutes walk from the beach so it’s a dog walk Christmas morning. Then back to the hot tub to warm up!

We are looking forward to it already

After the hustle and bustle of Christmas, a day of relaxing watching the darts and football. A simple beans on toast tea and if I have a drink for every goal Liverpool score I could be pissed by 4.45

Happy, I think. Listening to this exact same radio show is how I also found out the aphantasia existed and that I had it. Very random, but it helps to realise I’m one of many.

My first thought was that must be a weird condition to have, as conjuring mental images for me is no problem. If I am playing or studying chess I can mentally move the pieces and see the board in a few moves time in my head and that just seems totally natural.

Then I thought about my deafness. Born with only one working ear so I have never known any different. It doesn't feel like I am missing out because I have no concept of stereo, apart from the fact that I cannot tell the direction a sound is coming from.

Yeah, I'm the same, I didn't know the official term for it until now though. When a character in a book pictured something in their minds eye I used to think it was some weird literary trope.

I've also got a kind of synesthesia which is hard to explain to people as because I don't have a minds eye, I don't 'see' the colours, I feel them.

It’s very frustrating at times, can’t explain it too.

There’s a subreddit on aphantasia that is really good on it.

I wish I had known about it during school, it explains so much about which subjects I struggled with and which ones I succeeded in. I used to get so frustrated at how easily other people took to creative tasks.

Interestingly, I was talking to a friend recently who described how when she thinks of words and numbers they appear spatially around her. She said if she 'thinks' the alphabet the 'A' appears directly Infront of her and as she progresses through it the letters 'feed' Infront of her from left to right. Totally bizarre.

It’s weird, obviously always had it so can’t really understand how it has affected me over the years. I do find it a little sad that I can’t picture any memories.

It does explain how I continually get lost in office building / car parks. The fact you can beep and flash cars from an app now is an absolute god send.

Yeah, things like not being able to picture my mum's face are a little sad. I'm sat next to my partner now though and if I stared at her and then closed my eyes I wouldn't be able to picture her face even though it's the last thing I looked at so it's not like I've lost anything in that sense, I've never been able to do it . I still have the 'feeling' of the memories for lack of a better word.

spent time over Christmas and done a horoscope for all of you, feel free to refer to it over the coming year and see how accurate it is
