NO! I don't have it but from talking to people who do most people find it enjoyable. & don't find having it.
I have Synesthesia, and it is almost helpful to me. My friend was pregnant with a boy, and when she asked me for a name, I found one that sounded sweet and yellow (good) and gave it to her. She loved it. A few other accounts were made easier, but all in all, it is not annoying AT ALL.
I don't know. Sometimes it gets to me because I will start thinking about the colors rather then the words.
Synesthetes often experience their sensations from birth or early childhood, may have strong emotional responses to things that trigger their synesthesia, and often feel synesthetic experiences are pleasant. They do NOT consider this trait to be a disability, but think of it as an added bonus to their normal sensory perceptions. Many synesthetes are surprised to learn, during childhood or adulthood, that not everyone senses the world the same way as they perceive it.
His voice was scalding my ears. :)
Synesthesia in Tagalog is "sinesestesiya." It is a sensory phenomenon where stimulation of one sense triggers an involuntary experience in another sense.

Synesthesia can be a symptom of hallucinogens or sleep deprivation, but otherwise would be very unlikely spontaniously.
One person in every 23 has one form of synesthesia or another. Around 1 in 90 have grapheme → color synesthesia where letters and numbers are tinged with color.
Yes, synesthesia is a real neurological phenomenon where stimulation of one sensory pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory pathway. This can manifest as seeing colors when hearing music or tasting flavors when seeing numbers.
Females have a slightly higher chance of having synesthesia than men. However this does not mean that men cannot have synesthesia as well or that females outnumber the males lots.
Neurological lesions in the brain, as well as certain medications or drugs can produce synesthesia. Meditative experiences have done this also.
Synesthesia can be temporarily lost during stressful situations such as the death of a loved one. Also, sometimes head trauma can cause one to lose synesthesia. It really just depends on your situation. Chances are it'll come back, though. For example, I've known people who have lost their synesthesia when a loved one passed away, and after the intense stress and pain of that situation subsided, their synesthesia returned same as ever.
