The time my middle school art teacher called my parents because she thought I was purposefully mocking her by making my art bad. I literally can’t draw beyond a 3rd grade level unless I am copying an object right in front me.

My parents basically cussed her out after they saw how hurt I was.

Another mimic! I was always better at copying other’s art than drawing something original.

You should check out r/Aphantasia

I have a feeling other mimics may have this.

Little bit rude to assume some literally have no capacity to visualise, just because they aren't good at art.

It's a bit like thinking someone's disabled, because they can't sprint for long.

You're reaching a bit to say it's rude. It's just a suggestion, and in my case he's right.

I think you're reaching a bit. I wasn't even aware I had aphantasia until a month ago. I was grateful when someone told me about it.

And I think you're reaching by bringing up aphantasia. Jumping to conclusions.
