I need someone to tell me why i think like this or what this is !?

I stumbled on this whole site because of a Google search where someone on this forum/page asked the same question that I need an Answer to. Why Can I thinking of multiple things all at once and I'm able to Somehow do it All the Time Effortlessly .. Also like the other individual stated I can conjure these multiple thoughts Have one of the most important Thoughts come to mind and then Forget the most Important thought. I will also beat myself up or spend hours determined to get that one thought back all at the same time bringing in new information and new thoughts. I also have this crazy ability to jump through different thoughts with crazy speed and in the most unorthodox way bring it all together in a conversation with someone. For instance : I can be talking to someone about Football in general in a strategic way. Somehow bring in the determination of great athletes and how amazing they are that they can strategize that well and play these high intensity sports. Put those two thoughts together then somehow tie something that has nothing to do with sports at all and somehow tie it all in to make it a point or come to a climax , and it all blends in perfectly where I'm able to connect the listener to my various points from different angles. It's even so crazy that I'll forget a major point I wanted to bring up to the listener lose it move on talk about 3 other things that have nothing to do with the first subject, somehow remember what I wanted to tell the listener in the middle of the convo and tied it in with just the right timing . Almost like improvisation at lightspeed .

From a young age I was always scattered brained. Even in my life now I'm very unorthodox in my lifestyle im a person of many things I'm not just a person that settles and say this is what I am this is it. I'm all over the place as far as style , hobbies, food , friends , I'm not afraid to be spontaneous and try anything new . I actually proclaimed myself to be a universal human being where I can have normal simple conversations from different people from all ethnic, or social background.

The last guy who asked this question no one ever really gave him an explanation on what this is or how do you control it better other than mediation. Someone got to know what's going on I need to know what's going on because I actually need some type of control in my life .

Is It Normal?

  • Isn't this how every human being's minds work?

  • Me and my friend do this every time we talk.

    She'll be saying one thing, that makes me think of something and say something about that, that makes her think of something and she starts talking about that.

    In the end we never finish the original conversation we start with and have to go back to it.

    To anyone walking by, we must sound like a couple of crack addicts.

  • To be completely honest I don't know if it's normal because what is normal? I have a very similar way of thinking and it is hindering, yet also useful. I think in the era we live in it is more hindering then useful because of the way jobs are set up and the way society is so black and white, red and blue, Republican or Democratic. People that think like us don't have a side because we see all sides at the same time. I have too many hobbies so many that I am not great at any just good. I am an undegreed aerospace engineer by that I mean I work as an aerospace engineer I know what I am doing even though I suck at mental math at times I am a better employee than degreed employees, but it makes me feel less smart. I couldn't finish school the way the classes are set up simply didn't work for me. I also manage a rock band on the side and do dance performances. I am a mix media painting artist. Song writer. Mechanical tinkerer. Aircraft Mechanic. Pilot. Mom. Wife. Not great at anything because I don't have the ability to just stop and think of one sole thing. My husband is amazingly supportive so I feel better about it, but a lot of the time I feel like a failure.

    • Simply put I said no it's not normal and thats OK. The reason is, I hear I don't know what I want to do for a living I don't know what I want to be. I am always shocked because I have too much on my plate.

  • I have a very busy mind myself , makes it hard to sleep .. I find time in my day or night to have a thinking session and it seems to help temporarily , usually in the shower I lay for 30 minutes .

  • I don't think anyone gets what im saying I know people think like this or have the ability to. When it comes to myself it's with everything. Something as simple as the answer of 2 plus 2 has to be looked at from multiple complexed angles. Now, that's only a simplified example but eveything is over thought and and strings to different thoughts firing at all times of the day no matter what. My brain has no rest period to think about more direct straightforward thoughts . It' actually hinders me in my life and keeps me up at all different times of the morning when I should be sleeping.

    • I think we do get what you're saying regarding always having multiple lines of thoughts, both related to the subject and tangential. Perhaps you could benefit from mental exercises so you can better focus and discriminate these concurrent lines of thought when necessary.

  • I agree with Darkoil and Redcoats, seems normal. Not everyone vocalizes these tangent thoughts, but not to worry that you do.
