Party time?

Going to a party is like having a water fight with sound.

I never win...

Hail good Synners!

Hello Synesthetes. I am the Syn-Cypher! As  per the title, I’m here to give not only help to fellow Synner’s like myself, but others who may have a Synner in their life and would like to know more about this aspect of their existence. (Well that, and gain knowledge on illustrious party hats. I have one y'know...a party hat...)

I am a Synnie myself with multiple forms of Synesthesia. I became aware of my condition at 19 and have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, I love watching music. On the other, I don't like being accused of doing acid in my basement while watching Yellow Submarine. 

This situation is common with synesthetes the world over, that their families may not understand and thus assume that the person is lying or chasing the dragon.

Hopefully this blog can highlight some struggles that I have as a Synnie that others may identify with and maybe some of my solutions to certain problems (for instance: Sensory Overload) can help them out. I also would like to build this blog as a bridge, between Synnie’s and their non-Synnie family members or friends.

Maybe once I make enough posts I could start showing them to my own family (okay, so I've known about my Syn for seven years now and I still haven't told them. I'm an idjit.) so that they can internalize what I’d be saying. Whether or not this will go well for me is anybody’s guess but, maybe it can help smooth things over for someone out there and that’s reason enough for me to contribute. So, here we are, thanks for letting me introduce myself. :D
