Does anyone else have Synaesthesia

Just curious to know as I have Synaesthesia but I'm the only person in the family with it and I don't know anyone else with it. It's a strange thing and it can be annoying like when watching stuff because different things block the screen. It's like for me days have feelings, Tuesdays are cool and dull but yesterday was warm and brightly coloured which is nice but causes sensory overload.

Be interesting to see who else has this.

  • I havent heard of Synaethesia before but I just googled it and I can quite relate to it a little bit.

    I dont know if this is anything similar but when I was a kid I felt very strongly that numbers had personalities. Certain numbers had really nice personalities and I would talk to them and they would become my friends

    Also colours can cheer me up or become a sensory overload depending on my mood, for instance some days I like to wear really bright colours, even clashing ones and it makes me feel happy and colourful, but other days bright or clashing colours really destress me and I cant go out in them.

    I also struggle with certain colours when playing sports. I cannot wear really brightly coloured football boots because then when I look down to kick the ball my eyes blur and I cant focus on the goal properly
