Hello Gigi!
> Hi Zuihitsu! The last part: I think of something and sometimes I say it outloud to myself and I see someone looking at me and I start singing a song. I thought I was crazy until I caught a friend doing the same thing and he was OK.
Well, I sometimes talk to myself too but only when I'm sure no one will notice... ;) Sometimes I think something in a loud mental voice and when I notice it, I say "you don't need to think 'out loud' like that" and then I say "you don't need to tell that out loud like that" and then... Well, you know. It goes on and on until I finally stop thinking about it, then it just goes away. :·)
> Before I think very much about it I will put forth what comes to my mind first: I think in words and sentences. I talk in my mind. I talk about thoughts, feelings, behaviors. How does this fit into my Enneagram type and MBTI letters? Maybe Derf can help if he has time. Love Gigi
> Zuihitsu, your name is very Japanese. Am I right?
Yes, though it isn't my real name me being Finnish and all. My real name's Rami. I'm interested in Japanese culture and especially in Japanese literature, so once I went thru a book about J literature and came up with zuihitsu which means something like "spontaneous (prose)". Oh yeah, I'm also a fan of Kerouac's. :) So I decided to use it as my handle, cuz I tend to write in a spontaneous manner.
Ta, Z.
