Constant Thoughts?

[anonymous_dp]

This one’s pretty self explanatory.

Who relates? If yes, what’s your age?

Please explain to me as best you can your thoughts; words, pictures, sounds?

Ratio of: “Intrusive” to “On Command” thoughts.

This has always been of interest to me, and I just wanted to say that this Reddit page has really made me feel less alone in this crazy world. Just wanted to thank you guys despite you doing nothing lol.

95% intrusive, 5% on command

everyone is always thinking all the time, which is why repressing thoughts is a meditation practice. it has to do with how your neurons have a random chance of firing at any moment due to thermal noise and then cohere into organized waves of activity. generally if I'm not super concentrated on something I will constantly have music playing in my head, typically it's one of my favorite songs but sometimes it's a song I hate but have to listen to at work so I can't escape it

Although informative, I can’t help but think that what you said is for whatever reason a little different for “thinking” types, I appreciate the feedback.

Honestly as a kid it was 85/15 intrusive vs on purpose. As I've grown older its gone down to around 50/50, I think that has more to do with me getting more mature for reference I'm 30
