      Finally aphantasia and SDAM pay off.

      Can’t implant false memories if I don’t have episodic memories

          I guess kinda in the sense that I am time-blind. I have no internal sense of the future so can’t plan for it (ADHD). Past just feels like a distant movie I’ve watched and can remember key or spatial details (my semantic memory trying to makeshift an episodic memory I think). Always living in the now.

          My wife says her memories is largely emotions based which is alien to me. Mine is just a list of facts that come to me like

          • I was on the couch in the far side of the room
          • you walked in from the kitchen door and said x

          Have no concept of the feels in the moment unless it’s evident from the facts
