I sing myself a little song: “I know something I don’t know, doodah, doodah…” I often have to slow my thinking down and unravel it by translating it into words and talking out loud to myself.
I think visually, yet not so much photorealistic but in spatial relationships ("rhizomatic", similar to structures like graphs or maps). Often I'm actually quite fast at abstracting ideas and putting them into context, since I just have to "look" at my internal representation to see how things are connected. It's very detailed though, and I can get lost in those details, not seeing the bigger context. I don't experience my emotions in the same way, they're very concrete and absolute, and I experience them as disconnected from each other. There seems to be no emotional context or relativism at all, when I'm angry, I'm all anger. While my "internal spatial imagination" is my major way of thinking, my actual sense of orientation is very bad btw, I immedately get lost when trying new paths in real life. :)
I think I think in a voice. My voice. Maybe my idealized voice. I can make pictures. I don't know. And I can picture the words like I'm reading them on paper if I think about it. Sounds like a good time this weekend.
I have that unknown knowing thinking going on, coupled with pattern thinking...

Cool video out in nature. I think is words! So interesting to hear about all of the ways people think!
I noticed recently as I was going to sleep that my thoughts actually are geometrical shapes! Sometimes i’ll see my thoughts as paintings or sculptures

I think in ideas too. Its these blurry concepts that take forever to articulate out loud

There goes my theory that all hyperlexics are going to also be verbal thinkers.
Christian! Are you coming through southwest Colorado by chance? I need a lift to the conference buddy!
No, sadly. :( The conference is all of 20 minutes by car away from my house. I'm flattered, though.
