hey i want to ask about sight triggers taste/smell and its not when im just seeing food, but like my laptop taste slimmy, the wall is dry powdery and hard to swallow, seeing plastic taste like choking? i dunno
Hi, sorry about the late reply! I think it could be synesthesia if the different tastes are evoked by elements in some sort of a sequence or group, particularly if they're rather abstract, so for example different apps, video games, rooms in the house or even perhaps items of furniture each had their own consistent taste. If it's just one-off objects it isn't very likely. Also with synesthesia the tastes wouldn't usually have much to do with what the real taste of the item would be if you put it in your mouth... so perhaps you could think about what other items produce taste sensations and whether that's the case or not. You could look at this page https://www.thesynesthesiatree.com/2021/02/concept-taste-and-concept-smell.html and see if you identify with anything there!
