My mum and her friends are trying to gaslight me into believing I don’t have synesthesia

My mum and her friends are trying to gaslight me into believing I don’t have synesthesia. When I told them I have synesthesia, they laughed. Then they told me I must have made it up for attention. And then they’d ask me what my favourite colour is, seemingly trying to trick me into saying that I don’t have synesthesia. They kept asking me stupid questions like “is 1 red for you? 2? 3? 4?”<br><br>They’d come up with a random word and ask me what colour it was. When I’d give them an answer, they’d laugh and say I made it up. <br><br>My mum asked me “what’s a Tuesday like for you?” And then she stared at me really intensely. I told her that I just see numbers and words in colour and that’s it. I don’t have any different days of the week or whatever. She looked disappointed.<br><br>They’ve all started calling me a ‘trendy weirdo’ and a ‘freak’ who is trying to get attention through synesthesia. They tell me I have no one to blame but myself for my miserable life because I’m making up lies because I’m a ‘freak’ and a ‘weirdo’ just to try to make myself sound interesting.<br><br>But I’m telling you, I do have synesthesia! My mum is just jealous because she doesn’t have it.
