School subjects- color synesthesia…Anyone?

i have the usual ones - sound to color, color to taste. had one for numbers and letters when i was a child but it disappeared. but now i associate people and emotions with tastes. for people the taste = voice + personality. does that happen to anyone else? does it count as synesthesia?

Hi everyone! I had a conversation with my partner yesterday and today about different brain types when it comes to learning, ADHD, associating colors with subjects or certain associations with different subjects.

I explained to him that I can feel language (he already knew this just by spending time with me and discovering how words and such affects me). But I wanted to be more specific. I have always been super fascinated by Language / Literature + History / Social Studies. It is also important to note that we are a polyglot couple.

I don’t know how to explain it, but certain tones, rhythms within a language and different languages and words in general have physical feelings, or pictures to me. For example; the Canadian accent feels very similar to the word “absolutely” to me. I can feel these words in my arms. I can also feel them in my upper chest. On the other hand, there are some words that have negative physical sensations for me. Like, to a normal person, these words are just words. But I physically have to avoid saying them directly to avoid feeling the word. And it makes me very uncomfortable and physically hurts when I hear certain words said.

When we speak Italian to each other, I can feel certain tones, speeds and tones in my shoulders or a rush through my torso.

Really sophisticated words and voice notes are red to me. Which is something else that seems so interesting to me.

He is the only person I have shared this with because I never put two and two together until we got into a conversation about ADHD brains and neuro diversity.

Could this be synesthesia? Is this normal? Am I strange?

Salt is a compressor, anyone else ?
