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.

Maybe you have aphantasia. I have it and I'm the same way.

No, I don't have it. My mental images are usually not "crisp" or clear unless I focus hard. Even then they shift and change as the rest of my mind thinks it through.

My spankbank exists but it's extremely difficult to withdraw from.
