Wait… So it’s not just because I have an affinity for language?
Also: Other people see text in their mind like that? I thought that was just my own quirk.
This is so cool! Is it like you’re imagining the text, or can you literally see it?
What about words that are muffled or too quiet?
How does it feel/look like when you’re in an area that’s packed with people? (Thank you in advance!)
It’s like a mental HUD. Sometimes there’s even an internal monologue like the enclopedia checks in Disco Elysium; though it’s my voice, not that cool narrator’s voice.

Also experienced other mild forms of synaesthesia too, but those are gone now as well. Kinda miss it sometimes. Being a kid was kinda magical.
this is the killer app for smart glasses for me
Damn, where do I sign up?
