Sounds pretty damn op... Imagine being able to remember stuff like selecting a chapter in a movie or book xD

[callanwalsh]

BRO I THOUGHT IT WAS NORMAL TO SEE A TIMELINE FOR THE YEAR

[captainpanda]

Yo I have this. I have no idea how to even explain it, but this vid did it perfectly.

[Emmkkaaa]

How the fuck do other people think?

Yall don't have a circular calendar with christmas eve up top?

[alexsandrsilionov]

Wait....
I find this really relatable but didn't think it was rare, i thought everyone had this..

[ThySophisticatedCrow]

Yeah I do something like this. Seasons are a square, month cycles are a circle, and weeks are horizontal lines. February is green, March is red, April is orange, June is yellow, May is pink

[hobbybugs]

I can lol its actually interesting that other people experience it cause ive tried to explain it to others and they didnt understand

[girlofanimation]

Wait, I thought it was common to see the days of the week as 5 blocks for weekdays on one side and 2 blocks for the weekend on the other, all connected in a loop.

[Mariposa]

I’ve had this phenomenon all of my life 😮

[Eat_]

OMG the bottom left one is literally my calendar! (But like it’s all shifted clockwise slightly)

[Vrtual_stuff]

That’s Amazing Can’t imagine how it feels to just be like This character is Yellow This represents That they are bold And Strong
(u get the point)

[Cactasolar]

Huh, i dont get this with time but i definitely get it with emotions

[Sara_signy]

I thought everyone had this until I realised it is rare😅

[coliedeekenzo]

Whoaa! I have always thought like this! I can remember chapters of my life by seeing the season in the circle/Oval by each year! I didn’t realize it was a thing, just normal perception

[choco_iceecream]

It thought it was common for all people until i searched this, i didn't really know how to explain it but glad youtube gave me this one 😃

[manuella]

I have this. It goes wayyy back the year i was born and to wayyy in the future as well !
I can visualize any decade, centuries, weeks, days, hours. I have this since i was a kid.
That may be the reason i love history.
It's like a timeline of the whole world history in my head.

[animealien]

Accurate asf
How .. I tought this only happens to me

[xkero]

I have time-space synthesia, although i do not imagine mine as an oval, more of platforms that youre slowly walking on like a roblox obby or sometbing lol, i give the years personalities and the months get colors, the year 2023 platform was short as hell in my mind. i experience word to color, word to shape, shape to sound, word to sound, shape to taste, and some more. It's not really that special to me but it's really annoying and confusing when someone doesn't understand how I try to explain things 😭😭

[IlNC]

Oh shit I think I am one. I see the year and months like a circumference in which every month has a specific color. I’ve always thought everyone saw it like that. Damn.
(January is turquoise, February is dark green, March is beige, April is yellow, May is red, June is dark purple, July is light purple, August is bordeaux, September is light yellow, October is orange, November is light orange and December is brown)
(The day is a string with different colors: the morning goes from almost black to light yellow, the afternoon from light yellow to light purple and the evening from light purple to black.

[csabiakiraly]

For years, I see a long line, with the 12 months. For the days, I see a calendar, like the one on my phone, with the 28-31 days in it.
