Does anyone on here have any forms of synesthesia? All my life I have had:

Grapheme-Color synesthesia: I associate Letters, numbers, and even people with colors, though some people called projectors can actually see the color, I only see it in my minds eye making me an associate.

Ordinal-Linguistic Personification: Letters, Numbers, and characters have sexes and personalities.

Number form- Weeks,Years, Months, and time itself are not linear to me, they have complex shapes which are hard to describe.


My mom has what I think is the most puzzling form of synesthesia

Lexical-Gustatory - She actually tastes things when she hears certain words. I.E. Practical tastes like chocolate.


Does anyone else have any form of synesthesia

So I'm not a freak for thinking that ozone smells like electric blue, or that De-Loused in the Comatorium would look something like waves of purple and orange cresting and crashing together in a brilliant lava lamp(ish) display of colors, or that the word "lucky" evokes the taste of something like bonbons?

Edit: I'm feeling pretty glasses about myself after looking it up.

I got mental problems up the yin yang.

But synesthesia isn't one of them.

No, of course not...
Opps!
Seriously though, mine at least is more an association than this synesthesia bull.

Only after taking certain substances wink

But I still associate certain songs with colors and things like that even while sober.

I took a general Psychology class last year and this was a brief topic of discussion.

My professor flashed a Word Document on the big screen and asked what the whole class saw. It was a Word Document filled with a certain character (Can't exactly remember) but there was a tiny square of '5's' in the document. Most of the class just described there was the box of five, but he kept on asking what everyone saw. I saw the fives, but I also saw a red square.

Synesthsia? Who knows... probably not, but from a very young age I've always associated number, letters, and words in general with colors. It was like a game for me when I was little, but it's more subtle these days.
