Seeing spoken words

Post Reply New Topic

Hello everyone, i suffer from the same problem. I see these words in my head when people speak or when i speak or think.Does anyone know how to get rid of it?Is there a way?Let me remind you that I created this to myself and I was not born with it.

I always wonder, where do all the words go.

They're a bit like smoke coming out of a chimney.

Words register in my mind like the ticking of a clock.

Words are words. They mean nothing usually, because no one speaks clearly.

The only words that matter are words spoken from the heart; and then those world are no longer words; they become music and feeling.

The words which form instructions at work must be written down, otherwise they are lost.

Words are like quantum fluctuations. Usually they mean nothing. Sometimes, they begin a reaction. Often times, they are left open to interpretation. In a few rare instances, each word does have a content, like a muon and an electron. Words are not univocal beings. There are words and then there are words.

Words are sometimes like little keys to me.

It's me again.i am posting a reply because I haven't found an answer to my problem. I see words when people speak, when I speak loud or when I speak silently in my head.it has become a little annoying.do you know how to delete this thing?i do not have autism neither do I have Asperger's.

Can someone help me with these written words that come out in my head like subtitles?

I see words too. It's not like floating words, but like, my brain tends to spell out each word individually.

Sounds like a specific type of synaesthesia called ticker tape synaesthesia; you see peoples' spoken words written out in space. I have grapheme-colour synaesthesia, and every letter, number, word and shape has its own specific colour inherently attached to it.

My son is diagnosed Asperger's, I am not cause I cant remember my childhood, (go figure). However, I am a poet and experience verbosity, words are my world, at times, when I am having an intimate or intense conversation with people I begin to see the words they speak, not as concrete words, more like impression, it is very difficult to convey they are like ghosts of the words. Its not unpleasant just a bit other worldly or should that be wordy! I also find when I write to people I imitate their speech patterns in the way I write, or when speaking on the phone to them, handy for mirroring I suppose though somehow constraining of my own expression. Anyways its a wonderful mysterious world. Enjoy it while you on it.

This definitely seems to be a strong form of Synesthesia! I'd never heard of hearing by sight, before, though. It's interesting to know you're never too old to learn new things!
I, myself, seem to have a touch of it, but WOW, I REALLY like what you describe!
