What is the deal with synesthesia on TikTok? When Harrison first met synesthetes, they were reluctant to talk about their condition because they feared ridicule.
SynesthesiaTok may be self-reinforcing, as it raises awareness of the condition, which in turn allows more and more people to learn that they have it. A college psychology class gave Sarah Kraning the name for her experiences.
When she was a child, she stopped talking about her senses after friends and family laughed at her. When teachers played music in school, she used to struggle, as she saw colors, texture, and patterns when she heard sounds. She has 512,000 followers on TikTok and sells artwork based on what she hears. She was the one who said the voice of Cyrus was dark green.
The tests proved that her synesthesia was consistent.
It was reassuring to see the acceptance and the positive response from TikTok. She says the app is a way to educate people and raise awareness.
That doesn't mean everything is the same. Henry Gray is a bar worker from England who has 12,000 followers on his account, which he uses to tell people what their names remind him of. One of his videos, in which he says that the name irsty smells of urine, seems suspicious, as Gray is responding to the comment. Is it possible that you could do Kirsty?
Gray admits that there is no Kirsty with divorced parents. Since he was a young boy, certain words have provoked tastes, sensations, and images. He remembers sitting around the table eating strawberry pudding with his cousin Emily, and remarking, "You must really like this!" His sandwich is a soft ham and cheese sandwich.
The smell of urine has always been a part of Gray's personality. He hopes to gain a presence on the app and make people laugh. The video by Kirsty got over a half a million views.
