    Synesthesia. I can see music. It’s fun.

    Also, being resistant to pain killers. Not so fun (takes ages to get drunk, and I woke up 3 times during a surgery)

      Are there any music pieces that are your favorite because of synesthesia? Or pieces that you couldn’t enjoy because of it?
      I’d also imagine that watching movies must be a very different experience for you too haha.

        I prefer music without vocals. Not sure if the Synesthesia is the cause. But my Synesthesia doesn’t trigger on voices, which is an interesting way of showing that speech and sounds are processed differently in the brain.

        The only way that voices trigger my synesthesia is when I can’t speak the language and it’s all just “gibberish noise” for me

      Being resistant to pain killers and anesthesia is a bitch… Drinking is indeed no fun and very expensive, I also woke up multiple times during various surgeries. Also, dentistry is also a major bitch…

      That’s kind of cool, what does music look like to you? I assume it depends on the genre. What’s your favourite?
