Odd Associations

Oh does anyone else make odd associations? Like I smelt I think it was cigarettes but I kept thinking it smelled like toast. and for some reason I think these Twizzlers havea fingernaily polsihy taste to them. I also don't like my real name Kayla and say it makes me think of Tulips whereas Joan, the name I like makes me think of deep earth or of steel. Most people say 'oh Kayla is a pretty name' or oh 'Joan is an old woman's name.' To me it's Tulips vs steel . Strength vs fragility. Is it even odd to make this connection? When I listen to a song I get a story in my head right off the bat. Oh that's a new story. I used to write down my ideas and I had 200 + .But I never wrote any of the stories. All ideas that nothing came out of. My best friend said she didn't really do that and I don't really know anyone else who does.

I don't really know if this is an ADHD thing or not. But I would like to find out since I'm very curious about exactly if I have this or not. <-<; I know I'm such a message/forum spammer/constant writer. I attack forums aggressively and then I'll just stop going on them altogether. Lets hope this doens't happen this time.

Ah today I just noticed /remembered how a single word or instance can set a song off in my head. I've already brought songs into 2 topics in these forums I noticed. XD;. You say chills and I think Grease You're the one that I want 'I got chillss they're mulitplyinggg'. And then there that goes in my brain >w<.

OO I can also go into random stories trying to make a funny story out of something said. and then it can go ON and ON. I don't remember how but I once told my friend a story for like 2 hours. It was hilarious. I also can just make jokes and keep making them..but it usually has to be off of something said.....

I can't think of an example >-<.! I fail. Yep see I can' t think of somethign when I want to. It just comes as it will.

JKPAS,
Do you think you could be bipolar? What you are talking about the racing thoughts sounds like bipolar mania?

Or maybe it's ESP.

I think I COULD be. But I dunno.

I've always done this. I look at a pile of clothes and I see 'shapes ' in them. Like the folds in the close make a face or something. Or I see a wall and it'll look like a cracker to me. Stuff like that.

JKPAS,

Are you going to go to get diagnosed?
Also, is this normal for you?

You could just be really creative and artistic. I mean I think you are, but I just don't know if there's more to it than that.

I'm going to try to get to somebody In August or September after I come back from my summer vacation.

Yeah this kind of stuff is pretty normal for me. I think I just take some things a bit furhter in my head than other people do. The smell thing sometimes is more persistent at times. Like I think the cigarettes smelt like burning which smelt like electricity which smelt like a toaster whih smelt like toast and so I just automaticallly said 'it smells like toast.'

I am pretty creative ohoho

Well, I guess your orignial question was does anybody else do this? I can tell you that I really don't, but I think it's kind of a cool thing to be able to do.
(well, I do have rare moments when I can do it-very rare and I really like it-it makes me feel like i am experiencing another dimension or something that isn't visible unless you see with an altered perception)- I only get this once in a great, great, while-but it seems like you are on overdrive with it.

Hhaha. Maybe not quite overdrive. I just can associate certain images or ideas with other things quite easily. Sometimes it gets a bit weird like one time I was eating mashed potatoes and drinking tea and it tasted like chocolate milk? And then Dr.Pepper tasted like Cream corn.

Yeah I was just wondering if other people did it.

There are some people who associate the taste of food with colors. I don't remember what it's called, but they could eat something like a carrot and say they are eating green or something like that. I will have to see if I can find something about it on google because I just don't remember much about it.

hahaha XD I am eating green. I could probably associate tastes with feelings. But not colors.

That sounds cool though ^w^. there are also certain people who see numbers in color and say certain letters give off a personality. I'm not quite like that, though. haha. Not that far, so I don't think mine is on overdrive.
