So, I recently learned about synethsesia, specifically the form where you assign letters or numbers personalities or genders, and I totally fit with that!

Does anyone else have these personalities for numbers or letters?

- 13 is a fun, flirty woman who loves wearing bright pink outfits and going partying

-K is a quiet, shy woman who enjoys knitting and reading. She wouldn't hurt a fly and she is very nice. She also wears pastel colors a lot.

-O is a short man who lives at the beach and always wears blue. He loves surfing.

-6 is a smart woman who is kind of sarcastic and likes to correct people. She wear glasses and dresses casually and minimalistically. She is also tall.

-F is a friendly and funny but quiet man who lives by himself and enjoys cooking. He likes wathcing cartoons. He is also very skinny.

-Z is a woman who is nonconformist and enjoys reading and working with animals. She loves food too and is always down for a spontaneous road trip. Also is nice, and short. Likes wearing leather jackets and lots of red, blue, and black.

-D is a man who works at a bakery. He has a wife but no kids. He is tall, friendly, and kind of old.

-3 is a little girl who likes wearing pink and jumping rope. She is well-behaved but likes telling jokes.

-8 is a tall man, but I don't have a personality for him.

Does anyone have similar personalities for these letters or numbers?
I used to think this was normal until I read about synesthesia online. It doesn't affect my functioning at all but it's just kind of weird.

I dunno, I always thought Synthesia was a keyboard app for Microsoft Windows...

Synesthesia is quite interesting. As I've understood it, however, it isn't a conscious choice, but is an involuntary response by the brain to certain stimuli. In other words, there is a difference between synesthesia and imagination.

I experience synesthesia to a degree when I am in a euphoric mania. I cannot "make it happen", and I can't control it. It's so beautiful and magnificent! It is something I greatly miss because medication makes it go away.

I have sound synesthesia I believe (read online about it) in that certain sounds irritate and annoy me.

As a kid when I was in 1st and 2nd grade, saw days of the week each as a different shape, it was strange to me as a kid and no longer experience this.

When I think about colors feel like I can taste certain flavors such as green is a lime taste, but don’t really think this synesthesia, not sure. My mom feels like she can taste things when hears certain music since one singer makes her want to barf, ha ha.
