Is the reason that people are more intuitive than others because they have less of their intuition submerged in the autonomic mind?
I've been thinking about this today. I have a hard time recognizing my intuition unless I am trying to imagine possibilities for something. Other people seem to make associations much more quickly and easily than I do, and in some cases I can't make them at all or understand some concept that everyone else in the room understands (this has happened at school before).
I'm not sure what the issue is, but what I am trying to say is that it seems like my mind is much slower than other people's when it comes to making automatic or subconcious associations. Its like possibility is the default, but if I think about it and actively search for the information, I can come up with a context from which to deduce the proper association or the common association that people are looking for. I'm not saying my mind doesn't have associations; it has millions probably. It just seems to have relatively less and much weaker ones than most people. As a result, most people think that I'm a random person, and most people don't like that either. I had one teacher in high school who did like it though, and he would ask me questions that, in order for me to understand, I would have had to make extremely random/obscure associations in order to answer.
Does anyone else feel this way or experience anything like this? Or does what I said even make sense?
I'm not sure what the result of this is either.
