This emotion to color synethesia for me is heart intent not just people but with animals as well. Had a experience were I was driving came around a corner right in the middle of the road was a fat groundhog . Wasn't sure I could stop in time the hog was unsure as well in that split second not knowing if collusion was inevitable a very distinct white path appeared. The start of the light was were the hog lived underground the end of the light path was under a shed acrossed the road where the hog was going. My perception was and still is that hog didn't know to go back or move forward . What I saw was the animal s path of intent. This energy I saw was not in my minds eye and was not my emotion . Happily I did not hit the groundhog he now lives under my neighbors shed where he wanted to be.

My comment doesn't belong here, but I've no idea where to put it. I feel motions that I see visually as physical sensations, and the sound will overlap here as well. I can feel where the sound is when I cannot see it. I can translate how I an emotion makes me feel into sound from how the feeling sounds. So, it would go the sound makes me feel a physical sensation, and a person makes me feel a physical sensation by all of their movements, and their emotions seem like feelings as well, so I can match it all up and that comes out as a specific type of music. I can feel the motion of objects so well I always can predict where they will go. But a lot of moving things will overwhelm me. A lot of sound will make me overwhelmed physically. The spatial mapping is a thing for me as well, but it comes through as a physical sensation most of the time, sense that is a visual to feeling. But the emotions will be 3d shapes sometimes that I feel, more like "shapes". Yeah, the visual things definitely have a feeling like motion. So, if nothing is moving it is very very stark and if something moves, not only do I see it, but I get a strong sense like it brushed against me. The the motions of things are also summed up where I can feel out specific times and say this thing happened about noonish in this year, month on that day at about noonish, which would then have all of whatever emotion and actions from that day. It's like walking down a path. Maybe this is what is making me have a difficult time to read these days is because there are no moving parts, but when I write or type, everything moves and I can get that feeling of satisfaction, where I feel nothing from reading anything. Merely, I feel other's ideas and incongruencies and how the words they use have strange associations like I'm in their brain. I hate reading other people's works these days and it is quiet frustrating. I do not smell people, but I would say that for me to read something written by someone else is in the same manor as how different and pungent someone's smell can be from another person. It's quiet unpleasant. So, I'll stop typing, that's a lot and I am rambling. Hope it was fun for you to read, or interesting at least.

I may have the emotion-tactile synesthesia i guess. I'm not sure, i have found it very hard to find any information or similar experiences about how i sense the world. I can instantly say when people are lying to me, or when someone is angry, exhausted, happy etc. I literally feel it in 3d, or should I say in 4d, and each mood has it's own shape (not visually seeing anything tho) AND tactile-sensation. I also have this kind of synesthesia with everything; words, letters, numbers, personalities, music, art, animals.... Everything. Even with my goddamn dirty laundries and so on :D in the last few days i have tried to find all possible information I can find, but I have found almost nothing. So, this might be it maybe.

I also have other forms of synesthesia and those all appears someway in spatial and tactile.

Hi, very interesting! I've read what you added on the Synesthesia subReddit as well and I think you should look at this page if you haven't seen it:

https://www.thesynesthesiatree.com/2021/02/concept-shape-synesthesia.html

I think you can find some of your experiences here, in the general part about (more complex) shapes evoked by concepts and thought processes, and also in the part about one-shot synesthesia and high-production synesthesia, as some of your perceptions seem to be consistent with those (high-production is really like having one-shot syn over and over again with each new concept, and what you talk about sounds quite a lot like that). Maybe you will find a similar case to yours among the examples on that page, although I guess everyone who has this has it slightly differently!

I have just learned about my experiences. I feel colours of people by touching them and also when thinking about what colour people I know are currenty having. I would like to get to know others that also experiences this phenomenon.

I only see colors around people if I am really paying attention. Is this still considered perceived emotion-color?

Yes, it is :)

The colours of people change depending on how I feel about them in that moment rather than their mood

When i think about people i know very well and see them, there are certain colors and patterns i see around them. For example: the sister of a close friend of mine is an extremely kind person, very much an empath as well. I see her as if pale red branches are growing out of her body and reaching for the sky.

When a person i know feels off, they are "feel" as if they have some sort of fog around them. Example: I always saw my now ex-girlfriend glowing in a weird mix of purples and blues, but soft shades as if someone had used an airbrush. Now she seems dull, grey, as if a veil or smoke is wrapped around her.

Would this qualify as this type of synesthesia? Also i always thought giving days, numbers, songs, and basically everything existing a certain color and or font was normal lol

Yes, definitely!

And your description is a clear, interesting example of how it manifests.

Apart from the type described on this page, the types you mention which are or might be applicable in your case, or which you might like to read more about on the site if you haven't already, are these:

“Aura” synesthesia

Personality-colour synesthesia

Time units-colour

Grapheme-colour

Songs/musical genres-to-colour

Coloured sequence synesthesia
