I have the same condition, I can't visualize anything. The best example I can think of is related to film adaptations of books - you'll hear people say "that character looks nothing like I pictured him", but since I have no mental image of any book character, that never made any sense to me until I realized people
literally created images in their heads when reading.
Words are only sounds to me, not inextricably twined with pictures. I think it gives an advantage in some ways, but I certainly would make a very poor fighter pilot or sculptor.
