Hard to decribe really. Something's in there thinking stuff tho. Right now, as I type this, I'm thinking about the chinese food my friend is picking up for lunch. Now I'm thinking about trees.

Pretty much this:


lol It is just a big random blender of ideas. These ideas do, with a push, materialize into coherent things.
When I used to write a TON more than I do these days my imagination would actually dictate novels to me that it was making up on the fly. It was interesting, but a little random.
If I wrote it all down then I would probably end up editing it into perfect form and selling millions of copies.

I think my mind looks like Richard Brautigan's written works, think something like watermelon sugar for long stretches of time or bits and pieces of relating images such as trout fishing and skinny dipping with them. Their large mouth skimming the top of the water, then, I, wondering what it'll look like to have them temp a lock of hair. I'll picture what might fall into the water, a leaf, a beetle. I might picture water transforming the image of a body part.

Hmm, other than that, a train of thought starting a route and it becoming a map.

I like to think of inventions, creating new ideas, solving problems, building, snapping photos, learning to make gardens, bee colonies and soap, etc. A lot of thoughts and rarely acting on them.

What I might act on is generally language. I like the sound of words in my head or rearranging words into another word based on their sounding or look, how they seem side by side. I like to play in language in my mind.

I think about lots of things.

Sometimes I am deep and introspective (ethics, philosophy, mathematics, "What if"); sometimes my mind is silly, spontaneous, and ridiculous (great for writing skits :-P); sometimes I have conversations in my head, as @anise said ... although the people are always imaginary - they just look and act like how I would perceive people to be :-P ^__^ ; Sometimes I put myself in scenarios (especially after watching an anime) ... that is a great way to let out feelings I don't normally feel, like anger (I don't like people asking me what I am thinking about in this mode ... I just smile and say "nothing"); I think about sexual fantasies ... like cuddling ... and sex ; .... back to the deep and introspective - sometimes I think about events in my own life and people and I do my best to try and understand them; Sometimes I make observations and relate them to things I already know (such as watching the leg movements of a bird walking and thinking about dinosaurs :-P); ....

Anyway as @Acey said - my thoughts are, at times, very private ... It is my own little space, my own world ... and I don't always want to share any of it. Sometimes I feel like I need that privacy to just be me ... with an SO I will share somethings (a lot more than I would with others), but not everything (at least until I understand the implications and what is the right thing to do) ... and sometimes it is just too much to explain (I'm lazy ) and I only remember part of my thought process (I can be forgetful too ) ... Or, I just feel like keeping somethings to myself ... Or, sometimes I just have so many thought that it is just a lot easier to say nothing and it was just a bunch of silliness that is of no importance

I will say the other day I came up with an entire fantasy for a inquisitve little girl. (I think I made her day, because she was laughing away)

She asked me a simple question? "What is the blue thing for?"

Of course, this "thing" is a money pod. I empty the tills, load the money in, and send it up for it to be sorted.

So normally I would just say that. But I decided to have a bit of fun that day.

I started of saying that, but then I said the pod goes down to a secret underground area, where someone collects the money, and offers it to our dark lord, Fizzlenit, an evil magical dragon, which guards all the money Tesco makes.
And then I tried to get my co-worker to confirm it, (sadly she just bursted into laughter, but I still played along).
I then began to mock-act paranoid and take some bags from another till, looking around nervously.

The girl is like "why are you acting so funny" and I was like "shhhhhh.... Our master may be watching me, and he may punish me for taking these bags" then she was like "how can he see us here?", and I was like, "The dark one has powerful magic, and he can see anything within this store should he choose to".

Man, that was great. One of those few times I came out and shared the madness. XD

Random conversations with real or imaginary people, smartass comments I don't say, worlds connected with written books that I don't share, worlds that I have created that I do share, and general randomness.

Asking that question to an N, especially an Ne user, is bound to result in failure. Possibly the apocalypse, too. I mean, when someone asks me what's on my mind, the time it takes me to process that question and start mustering an answer is enough for my thought process to change and jump onto a new thing.

I'm, sorry, but I have Ne as my dominant function, and I almost always think it words. I mean, I have strange leaps of logic like you, but I could give the rundown of my last ten minutes of thought in words. I think almost exclusively in words, which makes me incredibly good at English.

That reminds me of when I was dating a girl last year she would ask me every 10 minutes what I was thinking. She said I seemed to be in deep thought all the time and would think I was lying when I couldn't come up with anything to say. Little did she know I was actually thinking about things like how my cat would look in a sweater. I'm taking my random thoughts to the grave...

THAT BEING SAID!!!
That's not always the case. Usually if I'm a button mouth it is because I'm painfully self aware of my own thoughts and feelings. Some things are better left unsaid because once the thoughts/feelings manifest itself into words, it either 1) comes out wrong 2)people misunderstand 3) people think I'm a freak 4) pity...the worse scenario of them all btw.

I wish I could get her too open up said random thoughts. I'm interested in her, and those are definitely part of her, so I'd like to know them.


And thanks to everyone who's responded so far! You guys seem to like talking about your thoughts, as long as it's not in person.

I'm interested in the INFP thinking process, common thoughts, outlook on life, etc.
So, if you guys aren't too busy writing poems and creating art, I'd love to hear from you.

well a constant daydreamer but i'll tell you what i have planned at the moment.. im going back to school next month and aiming on my archaelogy degree.. dont ask me why i choose this field.. maybe its the constant travels i had and the cultures ive encountered..

I think your post count and membership contradict your desires. ;)
