Does anyone else assign specific personality traits to numbers? Like, when I was younger I saw the numbers 1 through 9 as having very specific personalities as though they were people. They all have their own ages and genders and specific relationships with each other and it has stuck with me ever since.
I had also done this to a certain extent with letters.
This is called synesthesia. Synesthesia is a neurological disorder where people experience numbers and words as shapes, colors, textures, etc.
You should also look up radiesthesia. Type ability such as this, where you pick up vibrations from the world around you. From people (Hence "I have a weird 'vibe' about him..) This is where you get intuition not to do something, or to do something. it's the ability to feel what is really out there.
Not a disorder at all. This is actually a gift. Look into numerology. Each number from 1-9 has a vibration that defines certain urges or attitudes. We are all made up of this, it's in our names, in our birthday, and Letters are also numerical values as well. You have a f*** gift and you made me realise how real numoerology is. You feel these vibratiopns in numbers and letters which made you depict a personality in these numbers and letters. It hink everyone does this at some point, because we all have the Universal mind (looks up the 7 universal laws.) but we ignore it, thinking of it as something stupid they make up. This is not a disorder.
eep! this story totally helped me out! i have this same type! synesthesia!
I, for some reason, seem to associate numbers with colours. For example, 7 and 3 are yellow, 4 is green, 8 is purple. I don't see the colours when i see numbers, i just imagine them as being a certain colour. Not just numbers, but people too. I see myself as a yellow, my friend as a green etc.. Strangely, i see most of my immediate family as yellow too.
i do this! i always think 1 is a young/middle aged man, 2 is a young/middle aged female who is independent and can be bossy, same with 1, three is always an old fat lady who gets left out by 1 and 2, 4 is a hot guy, 5 is a middle aged man, slightly over weight. omg im so weird lmfao
LOL I used do this, but more with inanimate objects, like skittles for example.
Red was with orange, but secretly she and green were having an affair. Purple and yellow were like the old married couple, watching the drama from afar but always going perfectly together.
It was a drama in those packets, I can tell you.
i have a connotation with the number 69, cant remember what it is though lol
:O
i do this too...haha thats so weird! i never even thought of it as weird until now...i do the same thing with letters.
I must admit i am very jealous. You are unique! I have tried to make myself have synesthesia by giving numbers personalities, but then I forget which personalities I have given them. I do remember that 5 is a conceited girl and that 6 is a very generous and nice boy.
yup synesthesia. I think I have a mild form of this. I see everything as having a "shape" to it. Smells, tastes, sounds, perseonalities.
Uncommon but by no means weird. Actually I embrace it- it makes me feel like I see a depth of the world that not many understand.
