We are all different people here, with all different kinds of references and perspectives, but when you think, what do you think, how do you think and why do you think the way you do? Do you think positively, negatively, do you think rationally, irrationally, realistic, do you know that you're thinking or do you not? Please share. :)

That isn't a bad question or topic for that matter. I happen to be one of these different people, with such references and perspectives, and when I think, how do i think and why do I think the way I do? Do I think positively, negatively, do I think rationally??--irrationally, realistic---do I know that i'm thinking or not? Let me share:

I happen to be one of those who is sick. Who tries to get better. Due to this concept I wonder how everyone else is, though on a bizare level, I think when I think. I think. I'm a re-incarnated dostoevsky theologist :D I try to do well.

For the most part what I say, what I write and what I do is the very expression of what I think,
available for anybody else to assess as well as I could.

When on occasion I am smitten by a thought not acted upon I look for the cause of that with alarm,
as a symptom of defilement, hindrance or delusion.

Right thought is the result of right environment, heedfulness and care,
the same as any other aspect of personal health.

What we write here doesn't have to be a reflection of our personalities, and it wasn't really my point either. What my intentions was when starting this thread, was for one to reflect over ones own personality, and then share ones thoughts here, regarding what one found searching ones mind subjectively. I, for one, finds it to be quite an interresting topic, but due to low response I forgot all about until now. You are what you think, so what are you?

Regarding my own thoughts, I tend to be rather critical towards myself. When one part of my mind comes up with an idea, or maybe even an impulse, (an)other part(s) of my mind, doesn't always approve, and stop the idea or impulse before getting into action. That way my personality becomes more rational and reflected, seeing as I always strive for the best alternative, and rarely jump into action by impulse. I watch people doing things without thinking it through, or acting on impulse, and the outcome of what they're doing/saying strikes me to be not as good as they've might have hoped for, or as good as it could eventually get. That way, I tend to get rather arrogant over people who are stupid. I just can't get myself to like them. I actually subconsciously think that I'm better then them, and I'm not all that bright myself either. So that's something I'll have to work on.
 
shit man this is a hard one for me to explain
drives me crazy just thinking about it
but i guess that would be part of the way i think
i'm constantly analizing everything
i also am critical towards myself, never satisfied completely because there is always more to be accomplished
i think everyone revolves around me, or sorry i know everyone revolves around me
whether they do or not, i am always thinking everyone in the world is just testing me or whatever, hard to tell whos real anymore of if even anyone is
sometimes i think i am in a coma and just imagining everything
but who really knows right
so basically i constantly feel like i am talking to myself
 
I am a visually-oriented person, i think. say i am wtching a drama/play/film......now i have found i tend to drift off from the plot--the spoken script, UNLESS it really is gabbin me. and i am looking at how peple express, their expression, mannersisms, etc etc. so i can smetimes really miss what plot is about cause of looking that way....or maybe i'm NOT......if ya sees what i mean?
 
Upon reading the head of this thread I decided that I am an extremely pessimistic man who's ideas often go no where because there always seams to be a flaw in the plot, idea, or whatever it is I don't carry out.

I REALLY like this post:

Of course, but people have the tendency of having a problem with the manner of reflecting upon their previous actions/thoughts in both a cognitiv and pre-cognitive sort of view, and thus thinking irrational thougths and doing and saying irrational things. I'm not saying that this applies to you, but regarding to a hell lot of the posts made on this forum, there has got to be cases where the author have read a post he or she has made previously, and then thought 'God, that's stupid! What was I thinking?'.

Welllll... I guess in the past and partial present I have went through a lot of shit and believed or actually thought that I wasn't able to be better,

So trying to get better in ways I thought was a trouble,
causing a lot of pain,
when I am not able to be "sane", things are horrible,
so... shit faced is more a .. description of shittiness,

...when I am not trying the appropriate things to help me to return to a sort of sanity....

Peace
