Pretty straight forward question.

I think about the future and what it will look like later and how I should prepare myself.

I think about flying cars and cities with lots of thousands-of-feet tall skyscrapers. I also think about the stone age and the people that lived through it and how I might have to live in the way that they did. I look toward the skies... and space....



A song or two that has pleasurable sound in it often rings through my head exactly the
way it sounds in the recording.

I sometimes envision myself playing music on a stage, even though in reality, I get anxiety from being the center the attention. It just feels good to think about those things. I also think about having the stamina and speed that athletes like Usain Bolt have and the kinds of things I might do with that physical conditioning. What if I was a superhero or had an Iron Man suit?

It's hard to think about these things now that I have a sex drive, but these are some things I continue to think about, especially music and fitness because those are simpler things to think about...

Such an interesting thing to contemplate. I'm constantly trying to connect information. Books I've read, experiences I've had, things people said, news. Why I feel the way I do? How will my feelings affect my behavior? How will that behavior affect the way people view me? I have a lot of possible future conversations in my head and sometimes out loud if I think I'm alone. I question whether I want to really try to have that conversation in real life. I also spend a lot of time thinking about things I've written and how to better them, and about things I might write in the future and what I may want to research to be able to write whatever I want to write. I think a lot about love. I think that is an overriding theme in a lot of my thoughts. If I feel loved, if I feel and need to love others, how to develop love.

Some of the things you mention also come to mind. I like to imagine performing music as well. I'm not really that musical, but I explore so many different kinds of music and I really like to imagine what it would feel like to be a part of particular bands and performing their music, or recording with them.

My visual thoughts are very different though. I'm very nature oriented in my thoughts. I think about trees, open fields, forests, mountains, rice paddies, rivers, lakes, the ocean, storms. I have this very nature oriented relationship with my world view. Although I can appreciate your visualizing massive buildings and flying vehicles and these amazing possibilities of humanity.

Wow! Good question Handi. As I read your stuff, I kept thinking how different you feel, but as I wrote my own things down, I can see similarities despite the differences.

What do I think about? The possibilities are endless. I usually see my mind as this very cluttered looking office. But it's only cluttered to the innocent bystanders, because I know exactly where everything goes. At any given time, my mind is working through several different files, sometimes for no real reason - just because I can.

I think about the here and now, and how it feels, how well it's working, and how I can improve it. I think about how I feel, and wonder what's causing those feelings and is there anything I can do to fix it if there are bad feelings. I think about the people around me, and try to decipher them as much as possible - I want to know how they work, how they feel, how they are in relation to me.

In a more fantastical sense, I daydream a lot of scenarios. Like Kr, I spend a lot of time having imaginary conversations and dreaming up imaginary situations - how would things go if this were to happen. It's usually more of a "how would I like things to be" and it's all very idealistic. Seldom is a person actually the way that I picture/imagine them.

I have also imagined myself as a musician, or a singer. I've also sat around and pondered what my life would be like if I was a famous writer, or just famous in general. XD

I don't actually think about the future, in terms of how the world will be, too terribly much. I think about my own personal future, but I don't really think about like.. technological advances or anything. There are too many possibilities I think. I suppose I read science fiction to encompass that particular fantasizing.

What ifs are a big part...(fantastical, theoretical, interpersonal etc)
It's hard to really pin it down specifically - though I tried in the SJ thread - while I'm not thinking about it.
Maybe also running through scenarios I'm anxious about. And in more of a retrospective/-present sense, I worry alot about how I could be better, what I could have done better, everything I did wrong, and how to make it better next time.

I relate to a fair chunk of what has been said already. Though my visuals concern fantasies/stories/the future/the past more than nature.

I definately relate to thinking about what it'd be like to be famous, whether a writer, musician, super hero (Though this can turn into stories/fantasies and not necessarily combine with being famous) or doing something incredible for someone - saving lives, withstanding terrible trauma or natural disasters.

When I'm alone I can get fixated on scary things, building up a nightmare/horror movie in my head. My fantasies as a kid and in my early teens were pretty gruesome, moreso than now.

As a child I thought about the future alot, 'What does it mean to be...four?' 'If I look back in x period of time will I be the same entitiy just further forwards? Or a new Ivy?' 'I want to be a ____ when I grow up'.
Maybe sometimes thinking about a moment in time and thinking about how I hoped I would think about having thought about thinking about having thought about thinking about having thought about thinking about it in x number of weeks, months, years and so forth.

Haha, I can relate to pondering what it would be like to have lived in a certain time - particularly the very early ones. Or being taken back to basics/alone. But not so much in a distant future world - it extends to maybe future posibilities in our current world; survivors, the day after tomorrow, lost type stuff.

I think about imaginary conversations, meeting friends who I only know online, having a wealthy future, what it would be like if I were Xerxes from 300 and being in situations as a transsexual woman.

Hello :D
I'm an INFJ with a strong S, I believe that my Ni is directly followed by Si in equal measure to the usual Fe. As I read your thoughts, it feels to me as if I were a book - the very next chapter would be ISFJ.

Often I think about technology and societies of the future. Of computer driven cars and healthy food that tastes as good as unhealthy food. Of 3D cellphones that keep you networked to all your friends and medical, robotic advances.

I would like to find out more about ISFJ's and what they think. My wife is an ISFJ and she is Highly Home oriented.
