    I can’t stay angry; I have multi-sensory aphantaisa, this comes with not being able to re-experience emotions.

    I remember that something made me angry, but I can’t relive the emotion. It lets me dispassionately examine the past to see what made me angry and thus work through the trigger and try to reduce it in the future.

    There is the downside to this, it is on all emotion, so I also can’t re-experience happy emotions either.

    I subconsciously hear GIFs and silent videos. On repeating GIFs, the same sound plays over and over. Some GIFs sound satisfying and hypnotic and keep me entranced for a long time, while others are loud and obnoxious and make me scroll away from them immediately.

    It’s definitely not 100%, and I’m rarely waking up at 6am, but I can usually just decide when I want to get up, and wake without an alarm. It’s like I can tell the time in my sleep.

    I can recognize a song with just a snippet playing. My piano teacher was apparently surprised by that.

    The catch is I never remember the names, just the melody/bass 😅

    I can smell fear. I always thought that was normal, because it’s used idiomatically, but the first time I said something in a group of people, they looked at me like an alien. When someone’s anxious, their sweat smells more metallic to me, like amphetamine/coke sweat (which makes sense).

    I can crack my elbows like knuckles by just extending my arms. My brother can do it too, but I’ve never met anyone else who can do it.
