- How far ahead do you think? Days, weeks, years?
All of the above. I find myself thinking in terms of years, the most often though. I actually have to be careful to focus on the present, but I know that of myself, so it is typically not an issue, or so I think.
Like now, I am at a turning point in life and I am seeing a year or two ahead, which to me seems like a short time considering how I used to basically think a decade or two ahead. But with that, it is kind of pointless, it's great for me to have a goal, but things change...
- How strong is your foresight? How often is it true or accurate?
I think it is strong, meaning that I am usually thinking about it, and thus far pretty accurate regarding events in my own life. As often happens, and as I said, things change. I like to try and 'go with the flow,' however, I like to feel prepared. So coming up with different versions of my future makes me feel better, it tends to limit the surprises. However, life just happens and I try to acquire as much information as I can, and adapt to it, in all respects.
- How does it affect your daily life?
Well, it honestly depends on my mood, which can be both circumstantial and biological, so the fact that I am aware of this makes me see things a bit clearer when I am stuck in a negative loop. When the negative loop thing happens... the world ends and everyone dies..
Not really, but it can be quite dreary. So I just have to recognize when that is happening, and put it into perspective. I tend to plan and rearrange my plans as new information comes to me. Which can be on a daily basis. Sometimes it is a bad thing, however, mostly it has been very good to me. As I said, if I am not careful, I will 'live in the future' as opposed to 'now' so I make sure I don't miss out on 'today,' as much I can.
- What objects are you thinking about? Friends? Work? The world circumspect? Universe?
I hate to admit that my future thinking is all about me at this point, however, at this point in my life I think it is just circumstantial, I tend to think about where in my life I will be in the future, frequently. I take all of the people that I may effect, or that may effect me and look at various ways to make everyone (myself included) happy. I spend time thinking of other things, but at this moment (hehe) it involves my loved ones, myself, my school, my work, my life in general.
- Does this differentiate you from most of the people you know?
Yes, it does. Not everyone by any measure, but a lot of the people I know, yes. I got told just yesterday that thinking of the future and focusing on my feelings and emotions will always be my downfall, however, I think it is my strength.
- Does it make you apprehensive, or does it make you confident?
Both. Seeing the different possible outcomes always makes me feel secure and confident, however, seeing the hurdles I face and feeling the weight of my decisions can at times make me very apprehensive. So, until I 'digest' the bad information and detach from it, it worries me. However, after I look at the negative clearly, which can include just seeing that it is bad and accepting that, I plan for it to fit into my life.
