Same here. I think it was actually this meme that did it. I saw people commenting that they could not and I'm like "ha yeah, of course you can't, who can do that?". The lots of people are like, yeah, I can create a complex 3d shape in my mind and manipulate it, turn it, get closer, etc. I'm like WTF who are these megamind savants who can do this. Turns out, most people.

I felt very alone and very incapable after that realization.

    Man...same. Had no idea people could actually picture something in their mind until I was well into my 20s. Wasn't until that point where I felt like I was at such a major disability at work compared to everyone else..the amount of times I was told, "picture this..." not realizing they meant literally.
