Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Hi Inger, I experience it the same way as you described in your post. I mostly think as speaking as something tiring, especially because I don't know when it is enough or if I do have to continue talking. I also have problems with conversations because I never know where to start with explaining or starting telling a story. I find too many details interesting or funny or necesary to tell and people kind of loose the red line. I always try to explain that they just should 'go wild my wordflow' because they will understand when they just go on listening, but I know that not everyone appreciates it : ) So, or I hardly speak at all, or I speak a lot. And speaking a lot is tyring. I also believe that telepathy is more logical and I believe I have the ability to do so with people around me and with whom I am able to bond. Or therefor I am able to bond with them, don't know if this is a chicken-egg thing : ) Lida Inger wrote: I think my basic mode is thinking in pictures, just like Temple Grandin. I have a well developed visualisation ability, though not quite as good as hers, except in a few areas of special interest. I can think in words as well but that's learned behavior; not what comes most natural to me. I find words fascinating but also limiting, frustrating and amazingly time consuming. I am sure humans were originally designed for telepathy and have somehow lost that ability and not re-developed it yet. Inger Words or Pictures WAS Re: Adult Forum Needed for Adult Topics I will respond to this - hope you don't mind :-) I have a very visual mind so whether I see or read it - it will stick in my mind. Sometimes words are able to conjure up pictures that then get stuck in my head - and sometimes images or sounds stick in my head too. If the images are negative or unwanted I do not like such; but also I get great joy from seeing things in nature - these to me are happy visuals :-) Also as you know reading Terry Pratchett books cause me great joy :-) As for TV it is not too bad if I know that it is not real, but real things that are negative, when I view them they cause me great upset. I prefer to see nature for real - on TV is okay, but not the full experience. I love seeing animals in the wild, mostly on TV there as I am not near many wild animals apart from the squirells in the park behind my house, the odd fox and of course the couple of bats that hang around :-) Does this answer any of your questions on the subject?

Thank you very much, that means a lot to me (words = work). :-) Did I read that you are in Amsterdam? Wow, I was privileged to spend about a week riding a bicycle in the Netherlands and it was the best. So wonderful that I realized how crazy I was to try riding a bike here in Atlanta! :-( Thanks again, Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 : ) Yes, riding a bike overhere is quite easy in such a flat country : ) Nice that you liked it. Lida Hello, Lida!

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Hey, while Atlanta is probably quite warm and muggy a lot of the time, you need to come and visit the Pacific Northwest for some entertaining territory! I've personally used my car's odometer to measure the longer main road hills around here that have useful sidewalks or bike lanes, and within less than 3 miles of me are hills that are 1.5 miles long, and that's without getting into the mountains! There's one street that's 5/16th mile from me that is equivalent (or worse) to " Heartbreak Hill " on the Boston Marathon course (I've driven there in person when visiting my employer's headquarters in MA) several times in a row: when I drive my car there, I have to downshift (5-speed manual transmission 93 Saturn SC2) to about 3rd gear going up the hills (the speed limit is 35 mph) and downshift going down the hills to keep from exceeding 50 mph coasting (cops like to wait at the bottom of the hill... otherwise I wouldn't care). As steep as many of the proper roads are around here (I'm within running distance of Microsoft's world headquarters) there are many driveways here that make me wonder what drugs people were on, that have a slope that's greater than 20% grade, that are at least a couple hundred feet long, and often curved. It's a darn good thing that ice and snow are exceedingly rare around here outside of the mountains... > > > > So... liked your post : ) > > > > Lida > > > Hello, Lida! > > Thank you very much, that means a lot to me (words = work). :-) > > Did I read that you are in Amsterdam?
