Anyone have Synesthesia?

[Jeffrey]

To start off with the topic, I should probably give Synesthesia a definition first.

Synesthesia - is a neurological phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. People who report a lifelong history of such experiences are known as synesthetes.

-Wikipedia\

According to the Wiki site, people with Synesthesia usually experience a mix of their senses. The most common is Grapheme - Color Synesthesia. It's where the letters/numbers the person sees have some additional feature, depending if the person is Projective (Seeing stuff like a screen) or Associative (Example: You see a ball, the color "Blue" popped in your mind.)

I can't really answer a vague question, so I'll leave it at that. (unless it is necessary to edit)

Well, I couldn't tell if I had Synesthesia, but I'm just looking here in the forum if someone has it (or confirmed that they have it). (And please give us a brief description if you had one.)

Hey! I have this! I made a thread about it on VO.
It's mostly associating colours with things that don't have colours, but I can see voices. I've seen so many colourful voices.

 

[Jeffrey]

it is kind of a rare ability if i look at it.
i don't think that i am one, but at times i think i 'feel' what people are really feeling/thinking.
(face to face, but over the screen i somehow can interpret people's emotions from their typed words. Though, that is kind of a mental thing, i guess)
but then, I must repeat that I don't think I am one unless it's been confirmed by irrefutable evidence.

Last year, a girl named Olivia tried asking me things like,"What does this person's voice look like? What does my voice look like?" I was just like,"LEAVE ME ALONE!"
I guess she was kind of abusing my ability to see voices, but I learned what other colours meant.

 

[Jeffrey]

how do you 'see' voices? is it by pitch?

 

[dezzydream]

Yeah, kinda like that. The spectrum goes from red to violet, red being higher, feminine voices and violet being lower, masculine voices.

Wait so those who have those can tell colors based on emotions or just voices?

 

[dezzydream]

I think voices

Yup.

 

[Jeffrey]

depends on the way the sense is cross-wired

sass has a mix of hot and cold aura. sarcasm, is a bit on the pain and lightness (that bad kind of good feeling, if that makes sense)
the colors might depend on the person who can percieve tho.

Hmmm... I only know some celebrities who have that (I don't have it)
But it sounds pretty interesting in my opinion.
