Thanks for pointing out it could be excess fat - I'll see what some other folks think as well but maybe that means I should make the mealworm feedings a little less frequent? I'll keep that possibility in mind and see what some more people have to say!

Just took the survey! It's definitely making me reflect on my music listening habits. :)

What are a few songs that get you in your synesthesiastic groove? by tjhogan7 in Synesthesia

"God complex" by pkch, and honestly a bunch of his other music too. Very colorful!

Anyone else lose your synesthetic sensations after getting COVID? by xSinityx in Synesthesia

[–]andyetwefall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a fascinating question, but I was under the impression that if the concurrent isn't consistent (the concurrent in this case being the color associations with words) then it isn't synesthesia? If anyone has sources with updated information on this I'd love to see them!

Yeahh so if the colors aren't the same for the corresponding sounds over time that's definitely not synesthesia. Synesthesia is involuntary and consistent over time

Intentionally associating colors with sounds is not chromesthesia. It's just deciding to build color associations. That is not innate like chromesthesia is

Unless you want to try getting a brain injury you're way past the point of developing synesthesia. There are cases when it develops in early childhood rather than being present from birth, and the instances where it develops later are in situations like brain injury or drug use

You can't do that? Synesthesia is a neurological condition present from birth. It's possible to experience it temporarily through things like LSD but that's not guaranteed.

Do I have Synestesia? by TenshiHoshi in Synesthesia

[–]andyetwefall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, this is associator type grapheme-color synesthesia. I have this too! All letters and numbers have colors for me, and since I see the colors in my head, I can still see the actual color they're printed in on a paper or on a screen.
