Tangled Perception

I see things people have said. Tastes explode in my head. Everyone's touch has a colour, and you, my dear, are red. - Katherine Sweet (me) Secondary Blog

PSA

I lay in bed and I hear my sister crying in the bathroom and it breaks my heart. I failed to help her. She has no money to pay for bills, she has no money to take her son to the dentist or buy him new shoes. She sleep on the floor in my bedroom for five months now because she just doesn’t have any place to go.

She told me today that she keep thinking about killing herself.

I saw signal boosts where people asked for money because they wanted to go to Disneyland or they wanted to visit their friend in another state. And they got tons of donations. I’m not saying that you can’t raise money for less serious things. But I see my sister who has nothing at all right now and wonder why everyone ignore my asks for help. No one owns me money of course. That’s not what I’m saying. It just would be nice if some nice person or two send a few dollars. You would make a single mother and her son happy.

So please please if you can spare something, send via paypal:  [email protected]

Cheating On Tests With My Synesthesia

I found out I had synesthesia in fifth grade. I went on to be a pro cheater, and it was *literally* impossible to prove anything.

I, only for the purpose of cheating, got into those looms that you can make bracelets out of rubber bands with. I collected every letter and every number's color, about 30 in all because some numbers were the same as letters, plus black, gray, and white.

When we had a spelling test, I would stack bracelets, each with a word spelled out for easy access. I could usually tell which was which by the first letter/color. Sometimes, I even wrote out whole sentences, for classes like science and Social Studies. I did this by starting the sentence with Black, using gray for spaces, and ending it with white. This sounds fake, but I promise you it's all true.

I don't wanna encourage young synesthetes, but if you're ever dreading a test.... I've heard colorful friendship bracelets are trendy again.

Syn clothes shopping is terrible. XS is yellow, not red!

[whiteoleander]

It is believed that synesthetes happen to share a number of traits including: confusing left and right; a horrible sense of direction; they have an extraordinary memory but might experience a lot more migraines than the general populace; they constantly strive for perfection; they may be a lot more ticklish than the average person; they are usually introverts but extremely creative and talented in the visual and performing arts

my life explained

[synesthesiacs]

All true! I still need to hold up an "L" with my fingers sometimes to double check left and right!

I love this so much

Deafening Colours

I hate hideous sounds but I also hate deafening colours. Usually I only see things, never hear them, but sometimes I see a colour so terrible that my own thoughts are being screamed by the voice in my head. I've only ever had one sensory overload, and it was from this.

when you’re at the synnie convention and somebody says A isn’t red

[synesthesiacs]

True true true

[wideeyedsmile]

Figuring out you have synesthesia like

You: Hey, what color is Thursday for you?

Normal human: …

Normal human: Wtf?

You: What color is Thursday for you?

Normal human: Dude wtf Thursday doesn’t have a color

You: Of course it does! For me, it’s red. What is it for you?

Normal human: Okay no Thursday doesn’t have a color that is not normal.

You: …

You: …..

You: …………..

You: wtf

[synesthesiacs]

This is so weird because this is exactly how it happened for me, except I was asking about Tuesday.

[synesthesiacs]

Ughhhh I hate it when I say something is "to the left" so everybody looks over but really it just happened first so on my mind's time line, it's on the left side

[ukulelekatie]

me: *listening to music on phone*

me: my music is too loud

me: *turns down screen brightness*

[synesthesiacs]

I do this the other way around

[synnie-problems]

You know, those extremely catchy songs you love that are the most HIDEOUS color in the world? Pleasing to one sense, horrifying to the other.

Synesthete Problems

*le me trying to describe a weird sound in a my headphones to a stranger:

Me, "It's right between the bass and the wiggly high sound and a little behind the thudding middle sound, can you hear it? It's kinda squirmy?"

Stranger, "Excuse me? Are you on something?" *grabs stuff and walks away

No one understands my synesthesia.

[synesthesiacs]

Very, very true.
