My native language is Vietnamese, but I think in English. Once, I tried thinking in Vietnamese all day and I kept unwittingly switching back. It's odd because I remember when I was small, I didn't think in English (or this way for that matter). Back in Kinder or so, everything just was. My thoughts were just there, unspoken.

I'm actually a Dyslexic Paranoid......I have a fear that I'm following someone

A symptom of schizophrenia is delusions; my delusion: I'm schizophrenic. I guess...you're not alone? (Sorry if my post isn't coherent; I've been strung out on doing homework for the last 2 days. And erm, should be doing homework right now...but... ^.^;; ) Anywho, I'm glad to hear how I think isn't too odd or different. (I'm also glad that you all didn't yell and ridicule, unlike most forums I've been to.)

well for me, it's like verbal sparring. lol.

it's like i keep undermining my last decision. u know, this might not work b/c of... or ooooo i think i win!

usually it helps me make good decisions, the bad thing is when u're intensely thinking or computing something in ur mind, u might say it out loud. That's when heads turn n ppl think u're insane
