Wordeyes

My partner of two years didnโ€™t know what color my eyes were.

I do not have a visual memory at all. I know my partnerโ€™s eyes are blue because I remember the word โ€œblueโ€ in association with her eyes. But I donโ€™t see the color in my head and just cannot remember that sort of thing well. Aphantasia. Iโ€™ll never recall it without it being word-based. Many people are similar. I have gotten in trouble for not knowing what a previous girlfriendโ€™s eye color was because Iโ€™d never tried to commit it to memory it. So now I do.

I donโ€™t know anyone elseโ€™s eye color, really. Not having a visual memory will do that to ya.
