Synesthesia

While I don't havesynesthesia, I just wanted to say: that sounds sort of awesome, actually :o

That's really interesting, like the above poster I don't have experience with this but I do know a fair bit about it. I am wondering if might be willing to do a AMA about this?

Sure. You can ask me anything and I can try to answer :)

Hey :) I have synesthesia too :) Mine's mainly:

- Hearing-motion synesthesia

- sometimes hearing-motion-colour synesthesia(a 3 way one)

- Mirror-touch synesthesia

​So yep. I understand the struggles you're going through. It's not easy just because it's such a foreign thing for people to conceptualise. On the bright side though, it really motivates me to compose my own music just because I don't really like modern trashy music. Listening to bad music is basically like cutting myself (though I've never done that before) Somehow I just know how it feels. You can talk to me if you like :P

I have synesthesia too! I have letters/number/symbols to color, sound to color, sound to smell, personalities have colors too, and a few words have smells too.

I have this too! Mine is mostly sound to colour but I have some spatial synesthesia (months of the year only), pain to colour, emotion to colour and some people have a two-colour combination.

Hey there @musiclover1127 ! Thanks for sharing this and spreading the awareness, as you can see it is a big support to lots of people here :) Well done

Well, I just took the Synesthesia battery test and found out that I have synesthesia. It's associative, and quite a list actually, but here it is:

Numbers->Color

Letters->Color

Weekdays->Color

Months->Color

Sequences->Spatial locations
(Sequences such as numbers, weekdays or months)

Pain->Color

Personalities->Color

Emotion->Color

Sound->Touch

Vision->Taste

My synesthesia used to be subconscious, but when I started to become aware of it, flashes of color were actually popping in my mind's eye. Like right now for example, I am having a yellow headache. I guess I'm just a little bit amazed and freaked out. So anyone who is willing to talk about it with me is appreciated. :)

This is extremely interesting.

Hey musiclover1127! I have synesthesia, too. For me, sounds have colors, shape, temperature, texture, and sometimes smell/taste. I also have mirror touch and associate numbers/letters/days of the week/months with colors. I've never met another person who has synesthesia and I often feel very alienated from everyone else.

I have never meet anyone with it as much as me as well, for me it is so so confusing. When I am tried which is a lot everything gets mixed up and it takes me so long to make sense of any thing.
