I like being able to know what people are feeling and who they're trying to help.
I like knowing if someone is lying. I can never get cheated.
I like being able to know in the blink of an eye if I really scared my mom with the fake hand or if she was faking it.
Nobody can hide from me.
Everyone leaves a trail of color behind them.
I can trace their trail and know exactly where they went.
Hide-and-Seek is boring.
I'm wondering what would happen if I told someone as I type in my symptoms on some doctors website.
As soon as I hit the "What do I have?" button, a page pops up that says "YOU HAVE SYNTHETIA".
Synthetia?
What's that?
Now I'm confused.
I thought I'd get something like, "YOU'RE MENTALLY ILL. GO FIND A THERAPIST." Or something like that.
But Synthetia?
I read on.
"Synthetia is a gift not a disease. Many people think that they are insane and go to therapists with their "problems". But Synthetia is something to be proud of.
There are many different types of Synthetia. Some include seeing people's colors as tentacles coming out of their heads. Or see blobs of colors with sounds and see letters and numbers in color. Others connect taste with words, letters, numbers and sounds. And others feel things when they hear a word or sound or see a letter. Some people have a few of these symptoms combined.
Do something with your gift.
Here are some links to chat rooms and community sites with other people like you:

.net/8465/communicate
Those are some of the many sites you can visit to talk with people like you. You can also Google "Synthetia chat rooms" or "Synthetia communities" for some other sites like these.
I clicked away from this site as my mom walked into the room with my lunch and pretended to be sending an email to one of my friends.
I wasn't ready to tell her yet.
I needed time to think things through.
