You can live 35 years like this and only find out you have synesthesia after watching a TV show 🙈 My husband and I watched 'The End of the F***ing World,' and the boy character had the same trait: he associated objects with colors. It wasn't something he made up; it was just how he was from birth. It's been like this for my whole life: I have colors for days of the week, numbers, letters, and months of the year. For example, Monday is white, Wednesday is orange, the number 3 is red, April is green, 4 PM is brown, and so on. I don't make these up; the colors just pop into my head and have never changed throughout my life. I genuinely thought everyone experienced this, but when I started telling my husband, he looked at me with surprise. Then I went further and asked my friends and family, but no one else has it 🙈 Only after I started reading about it did I realize at 35 that I have a rare trait that affects 1-3% of the population. Does anyone else here have this? 😁
When do they post quarter grades? The last week before vacation or the last day? How is it with you?…

It seems like everyone has color associations. We used to do these exercises with students in a group, and everyone has colors, and the most interesting thing is that many of them match. For example, most people associate blue with Monday.

No, no, it turns out this is a well-studied phenomenon and not some kind of disorder 👌

Nadezda Yes, I understood everything. You know what I have? I look at an object and can really smell it. Or I look at Ters and I start smelling cigarettes 🤣

Nadezda Not everyone, I never associated colors with anything. It's wild.

People with unique experiences sometimes assume everyone shares them. I have a friend who experienced clinical death as a child. It wasn't until his early twenties that he accidentally discovered he'd been seeing everyone's aura his whole life, and he thought that was normal for everyone.

Noooo, Wednesday is green! Since childhood, I've had a specific color associated with every name, letter, number, and day of the week – basically, anything you can't see. Tangible objects don't have colors associated with them. By the way, my son's kindergarten assigns a specific color to each day of the week. They even have a little rhyme about it. He'll probably grow up with that association. I don't remember if we had that in kindergarten. Maybe childhood memories really shaped my associations. For example, the name "Olya" is associated with yellow because in some book, a girl named Olya wore a yellow dress, and that stuck with me forever... and so on.

But yes, I also just learned about this "disorder" now. I don't have it and haven't noticed it in loved ones either.
