Synesthesias

I didn’t know where else to put this. Does anybody else have synesthesias? My senses of sight, taste and touch are all heavily interconnected to the point that I can process taste through both my sense of touch and sight, even indirectly(for example instead of merely experiencing the taste of something I see, which I do, that taste gets carried over to the mouth of somebody eating it and even when I don’t see it anymore their facial movements will carry the corresponding information on taste dynamically as though I were eating it alongside them making them more vivid instead of less so, although localized not in my mouth, but theirs, sort of like empathy but not for emotions but taste. Similarly I can “touch colors” where my sense of touch will carry alongside touch informations on the color of what’s in contact with me, or in contact with stuff in contact with me. As for taste mixed with sight and touch it’s so fully mixed that I can’t tell where the sensory information on taste ends and where the mixed in color information begins or separate either from the texture. To me they are basically the same thing. I was wondering if anybody else had this since it’s the weirdest thing about me.

I don’t have a fun synethesia unfortunately. I have ‘pain synethesia’ where if I see certain acts I get a pain in my groin.

For example, if I see someone enter the sea, or feet being submersed in cold water, or someone falling over etc I feel pain in my testicles.

I cannot watch a video blooper show where peeople send in videos of their accidents. It is too painful to watch, literally.

Weird but true. I checked it out on the internet and I am not alone

I pretty much see all my 5 senses with hearing being the most vivid.

No I’ve never experienced synesthesia. I’ve experienced a lot of different things through schizophrenia though.
