Maybe you have aphantasia? Most people are able to create an image in their mind about what they're reading, almost like watching a movie. Some people cannot and often are unaware that others have this theater of the mind happening. I would imagine that being unable to visualize what you're reading could make it more difficult or less interesting.

It wouldn't be a post on r/books without someone getting diagnosed with aphantasia

I have aphantasia and am an avid reader. When I read, it is like having an audiobook in my head.
