Do you have Synesthesia?

[Anonymous]

Synesthesia is a neurological condition in which the brain links senses or concepts that are normally separate. It means that stimulation of one sense can automatically trigger another. For example, some people see letters or numbers in specific colors, hear music as shapes, or associate days of the week with certain colors. I have synesthesia, and for me, words and concepts naturally have colors. For example, Tuesday is red, while Wednesday is blue. Names, cities, countries, and even certain memories also appear in different colors in my mind. It is not something I imagine on purpose , my brain automatically connects them with colors and feelings.
Some people with synesthesia experience even stronger associations, like tasting words, smelling sounds, or seeing music as shapes and colors. I do not have those types, but some others do. It is fascinating how differently human brains can experience the same world. For me, synesthesia makes everything feel more vivid, emotional, and memorable, as if every word or day has its own personality and atmosphere.

I can taste colors however it's more subtle and does not really overtake typical taste though on some occasions it does make the food better or worse for me.

I don't have it but my memory is extremly sharp, i can remember nearly everything since i was 3 years old, the most little details i remember them!

So is my memory. It is very sharp. But I also have this condition. It is rare, I know. But interesting.

Though it's a gift from one side but other times it becomes a nightmare, cause sometimes you have bad things that happens in your life and you need to forget about them but my mind keeps repeating them like a video in front of me, it's like i go back in time and relive the whole scenarios again and again, it's really painful!

[Asker]

Yes. I agree. It is sometimes a burden. 🥺

I MIGHT have a tiny touch of it. Andy Partridge has it.

[EveryDayIsPretzelDay]

Vladimir Nabokov had that condition.

Little bit of trivia there.

[Asker]

It is a rare condition.

[EveryDayIsPretzelDay]

@taurus_woman His mom had it too. They both associated the same numbers with the same colors.

What color is the number four for you?

[Asker]

My mother has it too. But we associate the same numbers with the different colors.
For example, 4 is black for me, 3 is blue and etc.

[EveryDayIsPretzelDay]

@taurus_woman Does that ever influence what colors you wear? Like maybe if you went to a wedding you would wear the color that means "two"? Anything like that?

[Asker]

Not really in that way. I don’t choose clothes based on numbers or meanings like ‘two = this color.’ It’s more automatic, numbers just have colors in my mind, but it doesn’t usually influence my decisions like what I wear. It’s more of a perception thing than something I act on.
