I had facial surgery and the nerves healed incorrectly so when I touch my face it feels like I’m touching a different part of it. Like the nerves are incorrectly mapped on my head.
I can scratch the inside of my sinuses by scratching my chin.

I had a facial injury when I was 16 that ripped many nerves. I'm 41 now for context.
My lower left lip was totally numb for months. It felt like dead leather at first. As it started healing, everything I barely could feel felt like I was touching another area, and very tingly at that.
Over time, I've gradually regained most of the feeling in my lip, I'd say like 85% or so, and it no longer feels weird like it originally did. When I touch my lip, now I can tell exactly where I'm touching it, albeit a little numb.
So I guess that in the 25 years since it happened, apparently my nerves have healed about as much as they ever will, and my brain has apparently adapted accordingly.
I've got that on my side it's wild.
What does yours feel like? Mine feels exactly the same as normal but the touch is going to the wrong area. My mind has not correctly remapped the information.
Not OP or the person you were commenting to, but check my comment in this thread on my experience..
Numbers-to-colors synesthete here to say that for me, 3 for example does seem green-like, but green on the other hand does not seem 3-like.
LOL, that would actually be an interesting novelty app for smartwatches. Have it like fade throughout the rainbow based on the time of the day to represent time.
It would really mess with people's heads at parties if you could just look at a solid single color screen and ballpark the time 😂
This could actually be a really good idea for someone with a disability that makes reading a traditional clock difficult. Someone with dyslexia, for example. Maybe rather than a slow changing gradient, the color could fill in a portion of the face as the hour goes on. They'd set up a color for each hour, and after a short while of getting used to it they should be able to very quickly read the time.
Indeed 👍
There's a number of ways such a thing can be implemented. They do already have binary watches and clocks, though they're not necessarily all that intuitive for many to read...

I absolutely agree about 2PM (or AM). But 6 is yellow to the core

3 is fine, 7 passable. The rest are all wrong! (to me)
