Whenever i taste something i get a mental picture of a color. Not just red or blue or other basic color, but a very specific color. Like the color of rusted copper with a bit more blue = pineapple.
The colors are always the same for the same taste.
Any1 els has this?
You have Synesthesia. It's not common. There's nothing wrong with you. Your brain just connects things together differently then the average person. People experience this on psychedelic drugs. Where as numbers would be all different colors. Or colors have a certain taste.
I think it's just a different way of looking at the world. Use it as a creative outlet. You might find yourself surprised.
No it's not normal, it's a neurologically-based condition. But it's completely harmless. Who is normal anyways? Embrace it. You're special.
It's called Synesthesia. Not normal, but some people are just born that way.
I have Synesthesia too, I can hear colors. Seriously, I hear Pink all the time on the radio!
I see numbers as having genders. But only one thru ten. And they have personalities. Like seven is a girl, and really timid, while nine is male and a bully. Doing math is hard because if I place them together there are conflicts. A whole equation becomes like a story to me.
It sounds crazy when I write it out like this :)
I have the same type of Synesthesia as you! And I feel the same way about number 9. Hahaha!
That can be a bit of a distraction. Did you learn as a kid to make up stories to learn numbers? Or you might just have Synesthesia too.
Its not annoying, its just that no1 els i know has it.. If i say: this tastes pumpkin orange.. Every1 thinks im crazy
This is fascinating! I read a book entitled BORN ON A BLUE DAY authored by a guy who's is autistic and has Aspergers. He sees numbers as a combination of colors and textures. Like he might see a number as green and lumpy like oatmeal, for example. He's phenomenal with numbers, and language also.
He taught himself the Icelandic language in a week. I wonder if any of you are borderline autistic?
Rayst im sorry
But my eyes were blurred over my sister's screaming and the tv
And tge running water so u can stfu
Woah, never expected to find another person with this! Yours is a little different from mine, so I find this completely interesting...
I can see someone's color, and taste it. Like.. Hm. My best friend's name is Kaleigh. Her color is this thick dark blue-ish color borderline purple. When I look at it, I think "It's cold and hard and tastes like frozen juice." I can't think of a direct name for the taste but it IS like a juice-flavor. Like cool-aid but not. Touch is sound and when we brush against one another it's like listening to a lone flute practicing for a symphony. Her color tries to dance with Ken's a lot. His green looks like it will swallow her, though. :)
Case and point, it's normal! ^^ Your color from taste, and my taste comes from color. I like your perception. Silver-blue is what tastes like pineapple for me.
One of my ex-boyfriends had it.
as a child he thought everyone was like that... but as he got older he realized others didn't see the world the same way he did and he thought there was something wrong with him.
Then he read the Discover magazine article on it and he finally was at peace, knowing he was perfectly fine.
Nope, I learned the way everyone else does, the personalities showed up all on their own. And I am still terrible at math :)
Wow soccermaniac have you ever heard of punctuation? Are you on coke? Speed? Loll
I have synethsia too but im a fan of wendy masd also and i red a mango shaped space its about a girl named mia who has synethsia and the problems she has do to them but i learned something cool accupuncture givesmme a shower of amazing smells abd colors abd tastes *my synethsia is a higher lvl so names numbers sounds words and even the nanes of colors all show up in a color smell and even taste* it was so amazing! Ya so im pretty sure u have it but when you go through something tgat breaks ur heart more than ever youll lose your senses and the world just looks black and white till they come back like a giabt fire cane over and killed everything i hate it i usually cry my eyes out
Not sure. Im not sure if every1 that has this combines the same color. Maybe for them pineapple= orange instead of my strange blue-ish
Hey i was wondering: if you wanna know how something tastes like, could sum1 else with your "condition" tell you it tastes interlagos blue and you would know exactly the taste?
