Title: How do you think?
Post by: Eddie Teach on April 13, 2011, 02:39:18 PM
 :hmm:

In pictures, voices, printed words, behind a curtain or fog?

My own thoughts typically come across as voices. It takes a fair amount of effort for me to make mental pictures. I'm sure there's a fair amount of behind-the-scenes work going on too, but that's more at a subconscious level than conscious. When I'm actually *thinking* of something, I tend to say it in my head.

I think me and my 'internal monologue' only think in concept. I don't think I've a very imaginative mind.  :hmm:

Obsessively.  But often in a sort of quasi-written form, and images constantly.

That explains why you are such a stupid cunt.

I think in words combined with emotions. My emotions are often the emotions that I might have in a possible physical situation (fear/hope/stress/hornyness). My words are often attempts at rational analysis. The way I work through things is that I start with one and allow it to provoke the other, which then in an internal dialectic back and forth eventually provides me with reasoned words which provoke "good" emotions.

It's an interesting question.

A jumble of inner dialogue interspersed with spikes of emotion and imagery.

Yes, I can carry on a discussion with myself. It's the only way I can have a decent conversation on this god forsaken planet.

It's been a while since I was in any really heated argument with myself. I think I'm growing apart. It's like I just don't care any more.

Inner conversation with people whose opinions I respect.

Inner monologue or conversation, with frequent SQUIRREL! moments.

I think in sentences when I think about how I think. Although I tend to think in sentences absentmindedly too.
