Their are cures to this symptom. There are many articles and videos that can help you begin to visualize a lot better.

Hope this definition was clear.

Friend: Why's that...?

aphantasia 

Aphantasia is a misnomer, commonly referring to the inability to create pictures or images within your head. It affects less than 2% of the population. It does not affect visual memory or imagination/creativity.
A good metaphor is if you imagine your brain as a computer, your eyes as a keyboard, and your mind's eye as a monitor. The computer and keyboard still work, but the monitor is unplugged.
