    I was wondering if there were any other synesthetes on here. :smilewave

    I have three types of synesthesia:
    OLP (Ordinal Linguistic Personification) synestisia- Basically, anything witha shape (numbers, letters, objects, you name it) have a gender and/or personality traits.
    Grapheme Coloor Synesthesia- Numbers, months, letters, pretty much anything in a sequence has color.
    So I percieve the number 3 as slightly pinkish red and a very mean girl.
    I also have a little bit of Chromesthesia (sound--> color) synestisia. When I listen to music it sounds like colors and shapes. Voices too.
    I had no idea I was different until a very short while ago. I just thought everyone was like this. :lol:

    I have two types:
    Letters and more so numbers correlate to a color, gender, and personality (6 is red, female, and extremely maternal)
    Music is different 'waves' of color almost. Like a concert A flat is five stripes of varying thickness and blue.

    I didn't know I was different for a long time too :grin: I read the book "A Mango Shaped Space" in sixth grade and had an epiphany :slight_smile:

    I relate numbers with certain colors and textures, sometimes personality traits. 4 is orange and an bit rough and grumpy, 5 is pink and smooth and girly, 9 is blue and glossy and nobble. Also I apply personality traits to letters, depending on the way I draw them. Music notes have their own colors, too. C is red, D is orange, E is pink.
    If i try, i may remember more. 2 is light yellow and soft and naive. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    It's the first time I hear about synesthesia. Don't we all do that?

    I have many different synesthesias as it is uncommon to only have one, or none for that matter :grin:
    The two most prominent is:
    Chromestesia- seeing sound
    Mirror-Touch Synesthesia- literally feeling other people's pain.
    It's like being psychic but scientifically proven! :grin:

    Hello, I'm Linus, 18 years old from Germany.
    I have also Synaesthesia. Do you know, if the hormone therapy (FtM) can have an influence on synaesthesia? I couldn't find anywhere the answer to my question and it is very important for me. Thank you and best regards, Linus.
