Is it normal the way l think and am?

I have an odd way of thinking; I can think of up to five things at once and the way I organize them in my mind is by tabs. I have found in explaining this that it's easiest to relate them to tabs on the Internet. You can open a new one and still keep the others open, but you mainly use one at a time. I can remember too easily what my other tabs were once I close another. Also, I think in lines; I cannot refrain from imagining little strings attached to everyone's feet, and as they walk, they leave more and more of that string behind.
Also, I hear noises, see people who aren't actually there, and think of everything as being alive. For example, when I was younger, I had a crappy laptop and when it finally died and stopped working altogether, at first I thought of taking an axe to it as a fun activity. So I asked my mother's permission and she said "It's dead, what do I care?" So I put the laptop on the driveway and grabbed a crowbar...but I couldn't hurt it. I couldn't do a thing to it. Eventually, my friend came and got it started, and I was able to get into it for a little bit (the laptop was thoroughly destroyed) but I was traumatized by the incident afterward. It felt like I'd blown off the chance to save a life, but it was an inanimate object.
As for the people and noises, I talk to the people. They're my friends. I'm an aspiring author, and whenever I think up a new character, I start to see him/her. The noises are things like occasionally noticing that everything sounds as if I was underwater, everything sounding far off and diluted, and strange clicks in my ear as if someone were there snapping their fingers.
Lastly, I'm so paranoid. I imagine threatening things are happening - but later, I always realize, 'Okay, hang on - that never happened!' And yet, I put myself under these delusions all the time.
For instance, once when I was somewhere around thirteen or fourteen I was home alone because my father was in Afghanistan and my mother had to work. A paranoid breakdown was the exact thing I hoped to specifically avoid, so I tried to make the environment in my room as cheerful as possible. I opened my blinds and windows, turned on the TV at a low volume (though I wasn't paying much attention), started brushing my hair, and burst into song.
Soon after that, I received a call on my cell phone from a number I didn't recognize. I hadn't heard it go off, however, so the caller left a voicemail. When I listened to it, I could have sworn it was a recording of my own singing - the same song and everything.
Looking out my window, there were bushes thick enough for someone to hide in.

    You'll be a great writer. *smiles*

    I can't say if something's wrong with you. Some things you say are not normal, like you getting a call from someone and hearing you sing in the voicemail. Other things I don't know, like what you said in your first paragraph, and some things I can rationalize. I can tell you that if there is nothing wrong with you, you aren't like the average person.

  • A form of compartmentalization. Lots of people do it.

    Learn to separate animate objects from inanimate objects as well as real from imaginary and you and your photographic memory will be fine, just fine. I would love to read some of your writings.

      I've heard about the third eye, but I really don't think that's it. The people I see and the noises I hear come from my own mind, rather than external influences. I actually have a friend who claims to have a strong third eye, and I think she could, but mine are just my characters. But I can't touch them; they tell me not to.
