Someone mentioned aphants might develop some advantages in some aspects of life. Ive thought about it and I can see for example how the absence of unintentional visualisations of thoughts might force us to excercise our minds so that we can utilize language in our minds more effectively than non-aphants.
When discussing aphantasia with my partner, we eventually found out that my thoughts are for 99, if not 100% in the form of an inner monologue, where as hers are more in the visual form than monologue.
What do you think of this theory and what other "advantages" do you think aphants might have over non aphants?
(obviously advantages does not mean better, just as with ppl being different in general, advantages means advantages in some areas and most likely disadvantages in other areas)

I have aphantasia but only have ONE visual memory and it’s of me being stabbed. It’s the weirdest thing. Makes me wonder if I could somehow learn to visualize.
