Synesthesia (Not sure if this is the correct forum)
I've just recently learned that not everyone does this, but whenever I see a person, they seem like they have a color. For instance, if I see, let's say I have a friend named Kelly, if I see my friend Kelly, she might seem very purple. This doesn't only happen to people that I know well, this happens even with strangers. Can someone give me advice as to know what is wrong with me?
@jayme0123 I dont know how to help but I see people and colours too so if you ever wanna talk about it im here for you :)
@allnaturalNight50 Thank you! I'm glad to meet someone like me!
@jayme0123 oh gosh I do the same thing! I do that with not only people, but emotions and days too. Like for me, love is grey , and today is a blue. I only recently learnt that its called Synesthesia :o
@ShaiB for me its how the person feels such as curious is green and anger is blue
Does anyone have advice for explaining this to my parents? My mom just thinks that I actually see colors and thinks that I'm just being weird...
@jayme0123 In order to see if you are actually seeing auras visit https://positivemed.com/2013/12/11/how-to-see-an-aura/ If you think this fits you,maybe show this to your mom. It's just a suggestion. You don't have to do it if you don't feel comfortable.
@jayme0123 Nothing wrong with you at all - it's just that some people, for some reason, seem to have such "bonus connections" in their brain. I associate colours with numbers and letters, and only learned by chance that that's not how everyone else works. Does it bother you to connect colours with people? If so, why?
@jayme0123 There's nothing wrong with you. You just view the world in a different way. People with synethesia typically are very intelligent and very creative. When you say you associate certain colors with people, that you actually see them, that sounds like you are seeing their aura. Not many people can do that. It's a really special gift.
I am sorry.
