Yeah, it seems I'm very aphantasic. Not even deliberately I can create an image of "year". But I can easily write/speak a text about the concept. Now it makes more sense: people always made fun of me when playing Dixit, because when "calling" they would use 1 or 2 short phrases at most, and I would instead declare a very long idea, concept or story lmao. They asked me to be "simpler" or "shorter", but I just wasn't able to do it. It also explains why I always lost in this game because people mostly couldn't grasp my text-based descriptions (winning was never my goal, though).

Perhaps it has to do with my bilingual upbringing: juggling with language was my main job for a longggggg time.
