Yes, I definitely have a lot of inner conversations/ debates. But, this does not always prove to be helpful. It must be so interesting to be able to daydream in images and even smells! Are you by chance an artist? Because it seems like if you can imagine these things so vividly, that you could...

I like that. Although, when I first read it, I thought about how that may happen when other people get to know us, but you're right...there are always new things to learn about ourselves. It's the coolest thing when you've been staring at one of those pictures for a while and all of a sudden you...

I know that the reason I do this sometimes is because of the imagined conversations I've had with people. I have imagined that they will reject me and so I assume I know what their reaction will be before even speaking with them. This is why I avoid actually talking to them. For me it is usually...

This sounds intriguing, but I've not heard of "enneagram 4." Where does that come from, and where can I find more info?

I have felt at times like extroverts are more socially accepted and that being an introvert I didn't quite fit in. But, I never thought that meant there was something wrong with me.

Hmm..never thought about how food would affect my psyche...i should look more into that. Having depth and meaning in my life is not a problem...most of the things I think about are from real life situations/ people/ events etc...

Too deep meaning it is all-consuming, and not usually based in reality.

Another thumbs up to Julia. I also think that the moment I define who I am, I start using it as an excuse for things. "No, I can't meet new people--it's uncomfortable because of my personality." The only thing that keeps me challenging myself is knowing that I am always in process and will...

"You are a Creative Spiritual Self-Knower" Pretty accurate, but wouldn't mind a description with a bit more info.

Does anyone have any ideas/personal experiences about how to find escape from deep thinking in a healthy way? I find that I am ALWAYS looking for depth and meaning in life. This is usually not a bad thing, in fact I enjoy it. But there comes a time when I just don't want to think anymore. I...

Hi! This is somewhat overwhelming...I could see how I could easily get addicted.
