I have synaesthesia ... I see words in colors ... do you know how confusing it is when the color yellow is ORANGE!!!!

Me too! Except I perceive sound as color. It gets annoying because people always ask me "so what color is my voice?"

I think that was a House episode.

My eyes are ****ing enormous. It may be contrast-y (old, high school era camwhore photos haha) but that's not enhanced at all.

Just wondering....have you ever been tested for Graves Disease? That's often a symptom of bulging eyes like you have. Typically you should not see the whites above or below the iris (only on the sides of your eyes). Just wondering. :flowerforyou:

Noo... should I worry about it? I'm not usually sick besides seasonal things. Are there other symptoms?

The main symptom of Grave's is hyperthyroidism aside from the eyes. Might be worth asking a doctor just in case.


I don't really have any strange facts about myself to share. Maybe that's strange in itself.

I'm not saying you have it, but you might want to look into it.
It's actually called Graves' ophthalmopathy and some of the symptoms are:

Bulging eyes, excess tearing, dry-irritated eyes, gritty sensation in the eyes, pressure or pain in the eyes, puffy eyelids, reddened or inflamed eyes, light sensitivity, double vision, limited eye movements-resulting in a fixed stare, blurred or reduced vision (rare), and ulcers on the cornea (rare).

There are treatment(s) for this. :flowerforyou:

I count stairs every time I go up or down them.

So do I!

Who doesn't?

Thank you! I definitely get dry eyes (keep my contact solution and eye drops on me at all times!) and tend to stare without realizing, but I always chalked that up to me being really easily distracted.

Oh ok I do have a weird fact about myself...I don't think I've ever really followed through with anything in my life since high school. I hit a weird block at 15/16 and have never been able to break through it. I've quit two colleges, two universities, two jobs, two boyfriends and two houses in the last 8 years. Never for a good enough reason either - I'm just a quitter.

I can not stand those garbage cans in restaurants with the swingy door on top.( stopping to shiver and make gagging noise) I hate them. I take the tray and push it open and dump and shake till I get stuff off. And if I cann't do it that way I will put the trash in while I hold it open with the tray. If no tray I will sometimes use a napkin to hold it but I am more likely to just take the garbage with me and put it off somewhere else. And on the few occasions that the swingy thing has touched my skin( uuugh ,shiver,shiver) I wash my hand really good but catch my self hours later forcefully rubbing that spot on my skirt. That and I am an artist. I never do even numbers. If I do you can bet I missed it. Like, there are always 5 never 2 flowers. 1 never 6 clouds. Just a wee bit OCD, huh?
Oh yea... I don't like microwaves.

I cant stand to put my hair behind my ears. When I was a kid I would wear 4-5 shirts at once... I know; what a weirdo.
