Look up Folie à deux. It's not a disorder, but it is pretty remarkable.

Another one is Micropsia.. commonly known as "Alice in Wonderland syndrome". The reason being because the person who has it, sees stuff much smaller than they actually are. It's not like being short-sighted but imagine seeing a book that is the size of a cat. Also its not that there is anything wrong with the eye its the way the person processes this information.

Erotomania is kinda interesting. I mean imagine believing somebody who's never met you is in love with you.. you'd have to be hella obsessed to think stuff like that.

So far from what I read, people with Synesthesia feel blessed rather than cursed that they have the disorder

pretty neato

Synesthesia is really interesting

Sometimes people with the disorder are better and remembering things than people who don't have it. Their association with colors and the use of more than one of the five sense at once helps them. They get more visualizations and more sources for remembrance.
My roommate has synesthesia and according to him it helps him a lot with remembering. We talked hours about it and listed all kinds of words or numbers to see what color he'd associate them with. It's also interesting how with higher numbers the individual digit colors can mix.

the real question is why are you studying psychology
Because it's really easy for me and I really love it
Intro Psych is really easy for everyone. As someone who majored in it for nearly 3 years; consider a different major.
least employable major at one point, but great if paired with something imo

then again I did political science
Im a Psych + Criminal Justice major

and my professor was most enthusiastic about Synesthesia so thats what i chose
Is it like criminology?

it's not that serious, u know what he meant
I know that he means well, but I know that he's thinking about it all wrong. He needs to be more sensitive if he's going to take this seriously

honestly no disorder is cool
if you're going to continue into that field you need to be more careful how you talk about mental illness
