As a person with aphantasia, I've enjoyed it since I was a child. But my parents read to me every night before bed for a long time, and so my hunch is that I latched onto it because of that positive association.

    For me. Reading something myself vs. Having someone read to me are completely different.

    I enjoy audio books way more than reading myself because it doesn't pull as much of my focus.

    When I read, I have to read, understand, process.

    When I hear it, it's just understand and process.

    It would be the equivalent of having to read subtitles for an in person conversation rather than hearing their voice.

    I can listen and process. I cannot process as well while reading because I'm focused on processing words
