What is your personality like? Are you also a mostly neutral person?
Before social media started, I never questioned my internal experience. I knew I was different and mostly an observer but I never felt the need to understand how my mind worked. Social media and talking to people about their experiences made me curious about mine and sent me down different paths.
I learned that I had been neglected due to absent parents and often wondered if that made me how I am. Finding this sub and reading your experiences was really helpful. It made it clear that I am just different and that's not a bad thing, nor necessarily a result of trauma. I have always been a neutral personality with a quiet mind and subdued emotions. Unless stimulated by external stimuli (people, media, events, etc) I generally just exist peacefully. I don't have big feelings or emotions unless the situation warrants it.
My circumstances and experiences shaped how I deal with people but who I am is just a neutral everything. Do you feel this way too? How would you describe your personality?
Edit: I don't have ASD or ADHD but a lot of my friends do and they don't have aphantasia. Lol. I have synesthesia.
