Are you a deep thinker?

Post Reply New Topic

According to AI:

I'm def NOT a critical thinker. I am introverted quiet, & reserved but I'm not observant or thoughtful. I'm too much in my own head to notice much about the world around me. I'm usually zoning out & daydreaming about something from TV, video-games, or singing verses of songs in my head. If I was a deep thinker I probably would have done a lot better in school & been more successful with employment & life stuff.

I'm a deep thinker, as in I overanalyse situations and then become anxious and depressed about it. I'm trying not to think so deeply though. Feeling things too much is one thing, but I think thinking too much into things is worse.

So, for example, if I get told off at work about something, I'm trying not to sulk about it or become stressed over it, I'm just going to think ''oops, got told off again'' and then move on. It's what Stephen Foster would have done. I'm trying to be just like him.

I'm not a very deep thinker. I certainly don't think before I say things. I can be quite blunt at times. I need to work on that.

Actually, I've been told that I "don't think" the same number of times that I've been told I "think too much". Maybe I overthink the wrong things and don't think about what I should think about.

I have quite a hyperactive mind. As for being a 'deep thinker', I don't identify with AI's OTT description of one.

I'm not aware of too many things, I know what I know if you know what I mean.

I think I am.
It's four o'clock in the morning, and I'm studying the motivations of bullies and hangers-on, a false sense of winning

Here is a quote, I saved from reading about things Albert Einstein was supposed to have said :
" Imagination is More Important than Knowledge ." . Wonder if AI ever knew of Albert Einstein?

I don't think (no pun intended) that I'm much of a thinker at all. I just do things out of instinct or like I'm on autopilot.

I don't see the world in black and white. To me most things are more complicated than that and I don't rush to conclusions. If that makes me a deep thinker, then so be it.

I'm never happier than when there's nothing but space between my ears
I hate having thoughts going round and round

But I do have a tendency to get carried away sometimes

From the video provided.
1. you are an introvert - yes
2. you hate small talk - hmm. could be worse. i have gotten pretty good at listening to people a person talk, although if i am honest, my mind will sometime latch on something they say and silently go off on a tangent in my own mind.
3. you are introspective - yes. and i have been told that makes me a narcissist. that is just so super... <sarcasm>
4. your imagination is vast and active - maybe? I could be fooling myself. it mostly meets my needs.
5. you plan ahead - if needed, i can planned ahead in ridiculous detail. generally i do not because i am lazy and it is very time consuming.
6. master strategist and planner - generally no. that is what makes me profoundly excellent at losing games with my sons. there is overlap with item 5 and 6. and i am lazy
7. you're a good problem solver - yes. when i am lucky, i am an adequate problem solver
8. love to learn - i will gleefully leave the path i am on to explore an adjoining path. however, i do not enjoy being told "to learn" or what to learn. i wish i could speed through books. i really do. i tend to read very slow. that would have been very helpful when i was growing up and in school.
