So much to dig into here, and timely! I've been reading and watching a lot on synesthesia lately, triggered by seeing a TikTok where the girl talked about how she saw the year as like a 3D loop around her and I was like wow, that's weird, I see it like that too. I then learned that there is something called "Conceptual Synesthesia" where you see concepts and abstract ideas as shapes and physical or geographical formations, which, I guess I have and never realized it had a name.
I mean sure, lol though I don’t know much in terms of science or the why I could add, literally just learning myself that it has a name.
I have another weird one that I think maybe is related, which sounds perhaps super crazy, but it’s like I perceive hair follicles as almost sentient individuals or like a place also, hard to explain, like a magnified geographic location.
ok maybe I got a bit carried away, if you've just discovered it maybe there's not that much to say about it. never heard of that hair follicle thing, maybe it's a superpower!
Haha. I always thought it was a bit of OCD, but who knows. I would however love to listen if you interview an expert on different types of synesthesia.
