No matter what I do I can't shake off the ESTP, omg omg the PEST the PEST!!1
Honestly though, my way of processing the world (internally) is so damn bizarre that I can't even begin to describe it. For one thing, I have ADHD, dyslexia and synesthesia - so to crudely simplify it so as to avoid sounding like I'm tweaking - it's really a whole mishmash of noticing and experiencing patterns - and patterns of the patterns - and thinking of everything in a very mathematical way.
It's really hard to explain.
My explanation is not doing the experience justice. I think by mathematical, I mean that I see how everything impacts each other and connects - kind of like the butterfly effect, if that's even the right term for it. I build and anticipate systems and meta systems for how things work. Even things like philosophy, I think of in spatial dimensions - if that makes sense. I think in pictures and "movies" rather than verbal thought commands - and from a class I took once, I found out that wasn't really the norm, apparently.
And even with sound and music, I mentally construct images and movements of how I anticipate the song or piece will go (if I've never heard it before). It's always a game of anticipation, and I kind of wonder what the formula or the "system" of music entails. Kind of like the difference between graphite and diamond, so to is the difference between chaotic noise and what the ear would interpret as music. And of course it varies between cultures, but I always notice at least a semblance of consistency.
And similarly, I think of humanity as one giant science lab - to me, humans really are predictable and are there to be observed. When you break down all their seemingly complex behaviors, it comes down to simple patterns. And obviously that's nothing new, but it's my own mind's instinct.
I'm not doing a great job of explaining this, and I'm not even scratching the surface - but to put it simply, life to me is a pattern to figure out, organize and to anticipate - like a game of Chess with the strategies and the fundamentals that control the whole game.
So yeah, my mind is usually at least a few lightyears away from planet earth - until another person engages me. Then I completely shut that thought process out and focus on the "here and now," just because my own natural thoughts are just too strange to articulate, which I don't seem to be able to do anyway. Hell, I don't even do it online - as you can see, I'm no good with explaining my thoughts. I keep it all locked within myself - except with certain close friends who are also on the eccentric side. I find that I'm able to just effortlessly express my ideas to them in-person, for some reason.
I do love reading others' ideas on what makes life tick, but it's always awkward when I jump in, so I tend to just sit back and mentally compare my ideas to theirs, finding similarities, reconciling differences, or mentally debating them within myself.
So basically I'm either hyper and energetic in an "S" way with people, or my mind is racing while alone. If I'm not active physically/socially, I'm active mentally. I think it's why I get sick all the time, to be honest. (Like I am now) - I don't really ever just "chill" and veg out.
