Introverts: How do you remain introverted around others?

[AphroditeGoneAwry]

I wonder if that is Ne? The loud mind-tangents.

 

[Mustafa]

I don't think so. Zen Buddhists try to stop their minds (thinking) by Koans. [MENTION=16382]Ene[/MENTION] said she relates, so i think it could be anyone. I relate too. Humans does have conversations in their head (thinking).

I am like [MENTION=24524]Luke O[/MENTION] a Super Ape

I don't have conversations in my head. It's pretty quiet in there.

I don't think we can say that most people do. I have not heard that before. Though I have heard some more imbalanced people have noise in their head, or repetitious music or things like that.

 

[Mustafa]

Intellectuals do. [MENTION=23583]21lux[/MENTION] described herself as phlegmatic as far as i can remember. Monks Nuns Prophets and insane people are pretty similar, externally. Can get mixed by people.

I'm not talking about hearing God. God doesn't speak constantly.

I guess I'm not an intellectual then.

Or maybe you are just wrong.

Where are you?

 

[AphroditeGoneAwry]

I think I hover in the instinctive area, if you are talking to me.

 

[Evo]

Thoughts are not voices.

Why are we still on about this...

 

[AphroditeGoneAwry]

Because Mustafa spoke of 'conversations' which are not thoughts.

 

[Smilephantomhive]

I have conversations with myself in my mind. If it's controlled then they are not hallucinations if that's what you're talking about.

 

[Mustafa]

Me too. And we are rare. As solitary. People socialize and hence talk alot, by thinking or feeling (enneagram).
[MENTION=14015]Urarienev[/MENTION] Both I and another Asperger candidate, that I know of, claimed hearing voices or the devil in psychiatric institutions because we were angry and curious about reaction. Of course Aspies are honest and we were treated and comitted unjustly.

Peace

When?

 

[Evo]

Because Mustafa spoke of 'conversations' which are not thoughts.

And Mustafa also put the word "(thinking)" next to conversations. One can have an internal dialogue. Perhaps not everyone does it.

 

[AphroditeGoneAwry]

I guess it is called 'inner speech'. And they do not know its incidence or prevalence reliably.

No. Not everyone does it. The believers in the Quran (not muslims) doesn't engage in vain speech, now or in the hereafter. Muslims and good people will too not engage in vain speech, in the hereafter.

Temperament-wise I'm phlegmatic-melancholic, yes Though I wouldn't call myself an intellectual; thinking to myself for me isn't the same as some sort of philosophical pursuit or anything.

also I am a boy~

It says: Also known as covert speech or verbal thinking!

OK, being an intellectual is not only philosophy, it is any ... Thinking activity.

Extroverts think to, I don't know if they do the overthinking thing while having a conversation though. Maybe not because they feel more comfortable? I have no idea how it works on the other side haha

Strictly speaking, i am talking of my experience with Buddhism and Islam.
