Could this be hyperphantasia?

So I already think that I'm a synesthete, so I made a post on the r/Synesthesia asking if this could be that, and someone suggested hyperphantasia. Basically, whenever I am doing something (not sure exactly what causes it, but it normally happens when reading or listening to music. Probably other things too though, and I just don't notice) I see like images that sometimes move in my head. And it is not just thinking about what the describe, I think it just happens. Like for the song Stupid Song by Olivia Rodrigo, every time she sings the chorus certain images come to mind. It does match kind of what the lyrics are, but not totally. And it happens every time. Same images too. Also when I read a book, I will like imagine what the house looks like because yeah. Then I can still bring up the picture of the house, years after reading the book. And when I re-read a book, the images are the same. (one reason why I don't like when they make shows of the books I like is because the scenes are different than I imagine it) I also like completely see whats happening in the book if I get into it. I can still recall most of the scenes from the book I just finished. This feels super normal to me, but I am not sure if everyone does this because I tried explaining to a friend, and she was very confused. There is other stuff too, and I thought about it earlier, but I forgot sooo. I feel like I am not doing a great job describing this, but I mostly want to if this is something special, or if everyone does this. I can describe more if needed too.

EDIT:
So I am doing the VVIQ test right now, and I realized that I can visualize a pretty strong scene, but I can't keep it. Like I get distracted by other thoughts or something, and I have to start again. I also have AuDHD, so maybe that influences something? Not sure though. Also, whenever I do the thingy where I imagine an apple, I can't just think of an apple. I see myself eating it, and can hear the crunch, smell the apple, feel the juice getting on my mouth. I think about myself wiping away the juice, or looking to make sure its not bruised.

Could this be synesthesia?

So I already think that I'm a synesthete, but I don't know if this is synesthesia, something else, or nothing at all. Basically, whenever I am doing something (not sure exactly what causes it, but it normally happens when reading or listening to music. Probably other things too though, and I just don't notice) I see like images that sometimes move in my head. And it is not just thinking about what the describe, I think it just happens.

Is this trichotillomania?

This is kind of embarrassing, so yeah. Lately I have been wondering if I have trich after reading a book about a girl with it. Basically, I have been pulling out my pubic hairs. For about a year now, whenever I am like on the toilet, I obsessively try to pull out the hairs without thinking. Sometimes I will get tweezers and yank it out. I will pick out the hairs that are just barely regrowing, and not stop even though sometimes it bleeds a little. Its painful and I know I need to stop. I always tell myself that I will stop, but then I find myself doing it again. Could this be trich, or am I just very weird and messed up?

Whatever

I was watching the music video for Whatever, and I kind of feel like it gives similar vibes as the scene from Frozen where Elsa sings Let It Go. Does anyone else see this? I don't mean the actual song, but the video

I have been wondering if I have Synesthesia, can someone help?

So basically, I like get these vibes from things like numbers. It is not like a personality, just a vibe. And it is only sometimes, and I am not really sure what is happens for. The vibes are super hard to explain, and the only way I can think to describe is a vibe. And I know what colors somethings are, but not others, like Tuesday is a lightish neon green that is not really neon, but like similar, and 9 is a darkish purpley pink color. For example, the other day I realized that I always think of that green shade when I think of Tuesday, even though it is not obvious enough for me to think about associating that color with Tuesday. I don't think I do that with any other days though. And I sometimes see names in my head when someone says them, like once I though someones name was Molly, so whenever I heard or thought her name I saw "Molly" in my head, but then I learned her name was Mali, not Molly, so I kinda saw the letters from Molly being deleted, then Mali being rewritten. This is a lot sorry, I am not sure if all of these could be Synesthesia, but I want to know others opinions. (Also feel free to message me instead of comments if it is easier for you!)
