Ask Lemmy

When laying in dark, any smallest sound makes a bright flash appear in my eyes, before I realize there was a sound. So I am always surprised when it happens, and fraction of a second later I realize there was a sound. So it's Synesthesia, but from Wish.

When I'm in a hypnagogic state (between awake and sleeping) I can look through my eyelids.
They're still closed, but I can see the room through them.
I know it's not real, and if something were to quietly change in the room, I wouldn't be able to see it, but it still feels weird.
I can also pinpoint the moment when I'll fall asleep, and sometimes go directly from being awake to dreaming.
Which has the nice side effect that I'm aware I'm dreaming, and the dream world feels just as realistic as if I was awake, except I can control everything in it.

If I hold my pee for too long, I struggle to start peeing. It'll weakly dribble but some will come out, then about 5 minutes later I can piss normally. It's bullshit.

I blush extremely easily when I'm aroused or embarrassed . My previous partner used to rely on it to see if her flirting worked and even tried to push it as far as she could to see how red I could get. The answer is very, very red! Even my chest starts blushing at some point! When I have an orgasm I'll often be blushing all over my body. Apparently it's normal and I don't have any health problems...

Also my sense of smell is insane, and I can touch my nose and my elbow with my tongue.

Sometimes if I take too big a gulp of water at once, the little bone near my adam's apple clicks out of place and I have to manually reset it.

When I have to shit really bad I can feel a pain in my forearm. Not like a painful pain but more like a tingling sensation in only my left forearm.

I can scoop a spit bubble up off the bottom of my mouth with my tongue, fold my tongue around it, and blow the bubble out of my mouth, and it floats to the ground.

I can think myself into immediately stopping hiccups.

I can also puke on demand.

I can wiggle my little toes independently.

I can hear the muscles in my eyes when I look from side to side.

My ears have a little muscle in them that acts like an eject button for hard earbuds ( like apple)

Some microphones can't pick up my voice.

I sometimes feel the same thing at different spots of my body.

Like if someone pinches the skin on my back I could feel the pain of the pinch on my shoulder as well.

I have hypermobility, but a mild form that just lets me bend my fingers back without any of the major problems associated with it.

My hands and feet are slightly adhesive when they're any wetter than bone dry, so you can hear a faint peeling sound when I walk barefoot in the house, even a little bit on short carpet. Think peeling scotch tape and reduce it by 50%.

I can also control the muscles responsible for equalizing the pressure in my ears, and that allows me to put them under a slight vacuum to slightly dampen loud noises.

I also have long toes. Not to the extent of a chimp, but I have successfully signed my name with them before (though even lower quality than signing with my left hand).

I also cannot cry from cutting onions. This sounds awesome until you're cutting 3 bags of onions in one go and you learn that the tears dilute the sulfuric acid that forms. That was a painful evening.

I can dislocate my joints at will. Thing with Ehlers-Danlos but it's a nice party trick

I have a few

A Dexa scan I had done revealed that I have an incredibly dense skeleton in the top 1% of the US national database. It sounds neat but it does absolutely nothing to stop all the soft tissue damage that sports accumulates.

A genetic test revealed I have the super taster gene, some things taste godly but mostly things people like taste bad to me. Coffee, beer, wine for instance are all repulsive.

I have no refractory period. I can pretty much have sex as long as I want and cum over and over again. Record for a single session was 19 with a kinky femdom I used to play with. Despite what all of those female rap songs tell you, there actually aren't very many women that are ready for Mr all night when he shows up.

I heal incredibly fast, I had major surgery and I blew past all the normal milestones for recovery.

I have central heterochromia in both eyes which I'm told is attractive

I also likely have the genes for FNSS (familial natural short sleep) which basically just means that I am genetically predisposed to only require 4 to 5 hours Sleep a night to feel completely refreshed.

Mentally perceive sounds as color. I don't get the visual effect as with true synesthesia but more like my mind says "that sound is blue" when I hear it.

im not kidding when i drink milk, my stool ends up with blood. I thought I was lactose intolerant but I do need to check.

So far with lactose free milk im okay! so i can still eat cereal :)

My neck clicks whenever I turn to the right.
