"I haven't read any. I make this stuff up myself, and I think reading whole books of other people's ideas is 1. boring and 2. annoying. A brief dose of someone else's thinking is fine, if its just a page or 2 long, but a whole book? No way!"

Your process is a very quick one to becoming 1)boring and 2) annoying. If you never find the ability to read another's work to completion, you will very likely never begin to realize true depth and completeness in your ond systems/ideas. Since wea re at an enneagram site, perhaps you should consider your approach to being the one that leads you unable to communicate you ideas and being drawn more and more into your own systems. It is great to think for yourself, but learning what others have thought/realized/found before only sharpens and deepens your own thoughts. It also keeps you from spending years reinventing the wheel in your own mind only to find out that while you have been ruminating, the world has taken to the air. When you are ready to graduate to greater thinking, let me know, I will recomend some good starting points.
