Synaesthesia?

Post Reply New Topic

This is a bit strange. So I've been aware of what synaesthesia was but I never knew I had it?

It's not that big of a deal but it is strange.

I can smell colours apparently. I never noticed this until just now when I was switching back and forth between tabs, and one of the tabs was a website which had a pukey green background. Like a mix between yellow ochre and pukey green. And it smelled like fingernails. I can't describe it that well. Like someone was burning fingernails and dumping rubbing alcohol on the ashes. A really bitter, sharp, unpleasant smell. Obviously not as strong as if I were actually to smell something like that, but it was unpleasant. I've been on that website a few times before and it always smelled like that I realised.

And looking back on everything I think I figured out why I tend to avoid certain things like places and website or even artists' work? Like, this website–no offense–smells somewhat like plastic, metal, and cheese... I enjoy the metal but the sour smell... not so much.

I don't really know that much about synaesthesia, and I was just wondering what other types of it there are, for any synaesthetes who may be on here?

I've heard of people seeing days of the week in colour. It seems most of synaesthesia has to do with colour...
I've also heard of personification as a form? Idk. What about seeing the days of the week as piano keys?

Yeah I use to have a bit of it when I was a bit younger.

I use to hear music in colors, and say a aeloian scale as blue, mixolydian green, lydian, yellow and ionian white.

I'm not sure if it's true synathestia, but I use to tell which scale was being used in a song by the color of it.
