View Full Version : "what are you thinking right now?"
Struggling 07-20-06, 05:51 PM Ok...does anyone else get asked this by their S/O and does anyone else just have NO CLUE what they are thinking when they are asked this?
I seriously never have an answer for this question. I get asked because it's obvious I am thinking about something...yet, I don't ever know what it is or can't ever articulate it:rolleyes:
*~ §EEK ~* 07-20-06, 06:05 PM I honestly don't have a waking moment in which I am not thinking about something! And if you ask me, I can always tell you what I am thinking!
However, when I use to ask my father "What are you thinking about?", he use to reply, "I'm not thinking about anything!" :confused:
Is that even possible???? :confused:
Even when I try not to think, I am thinking about not thinking!
This just boggles my mind!
But I believe my dad, and I believe you too! :)
I bet it would be nice to not think about anything!
My mind does not focus very well, and it has no on and off switch either!
Peace,
dormammau2008 07-20-06, 06:15 PM iam trhinking about wether we have 2 suns in our soler styeim an things on dark matter ....as i watch house >>on tv lol dorm
jetamio 07-20-06, 06:48 PM People ask me that a lot and even though I was definitely thinking about things, I can't put my thoughts into words. There are so many thoughts at any given time that I usually say something like "oh, lots of things". They just wouldn't understand how my thoughts digress.
justhope 07-20-06, 08:06 PM I am thinking I have less than 45 minutes until I leave work! yipee.
I also never have a problem answering that question.
My problem is I have tooooo much on my mind. I wish my body would work as fast as my mind! I would get so much more done!
So 40 minutes and counting and I am free for well a few hours anyway!
justhope 07-21-06, 12:49 PM Next day and I am still thinking about leaving worK...at least I am consistant.
12:48pm here in Ohio....most of my employees and 1/2 of this place are gone..and now it's like chinese water torture to sit...
it's nice outside,not too hot today....and I WANT TO GO PLAY OUTSIDE!!!!!
that's what i"m thinking right now...same thing I was thinking before!
william tell 07-21-06, 07:30 PM you don't wanna know heheheheheheh
HighFunctioning 07-21-06, 08:13 PM I get asked this question quite a bit, but I never answer truthfully. It's a habit of mine to say "nothing", or sometimes to avoid the question in some way. (That's because when I am asked this question, it is normally because I am caught smiling or laughing to myself, and those types of thoughts have to do with my own world, not this one, which is kept very secret!)
Even when I try not to think, I am thinking about not thinking!
Same here. This is a problem when trying to fall asleep. It's like I always have to think about something. When I try to not think, I have to think about things I normally wouldn't have to think about (like breathing).
Mostly during the day, I am thinking about something, and it's rare that I think about nothing whatsoever. When my mind does go completely blank for any period of time, it is usually unintentional.
VisualImagery 07-21-06, 08:16 PM A better question-What am I not thinking about. My ADD brain can think about so many things at once. At least the meds cut down on the number a bit.
This is what makes us so productive-Normal brains must be soooooo boring.:D
ms_sunshine 07-21-06, 08:51 PM How much longer til my cheese steaks get here?
Did I put the windows up on my car?
Is it going to rain?
Did I remember to (list of things here)?
Was that the phone?
Was that the door?
The kids are on my last nerve, and it's a good thing I love them so much...
Guilt for being irritated with my kids.
Do I have any chocolate anywhere in the house?
Is it bedtime yet?
Ring, phone, ring.
Why do I feel like I'm having an anxiety attack?
I want total silence, and then when it's totally silent, it's too quiet and I want noise...but then if I have noise, it drives me nuts...I can't win. Sighs.
The ac is too high/the ac is too low.
Are we there yet?
The only place it's never quiet is in my own mind.
meadd823 07-22-06, 12:37 PM What are you thinking right now?
I hate having to stop what I am doing just to eat again, poop
My head phones are lopsided
I should get to bed
This kitten is getting big
My answer is a lot like HF
How do I answer without writing a bloomin book?
Ok...does anyone else get asked this by their S/O and does anyone else just have NO CLUE what they are thinking when they are asked this?
I know what I am thinking until I am asked, then the question interrupts my thoughts and I forget (or don’t want to bother explaining)
I seriously never have an answer for this question. I get asked because it's obvious I am thinking about something...yet, I don't ever know what it is or can't ever articulate it
Most of the time, I can’t articulate what I am thinking. I think in sights, sounds, feelings, smells, ect. I usually am thinking more than one thing at a time. Besides if I wanted to share my thoughts I would do so, I am in no way an introvert by any stretch of the imagination. Not wanting to be rude I simply feel like there are times in order to communicate what is going on inside my head I would have to draw a picture and / or write a book and I am neither an artist nor am I inspiring to be an author.
VisualImagery 07-22-06, 01:15 PM I am thinking that I have regained my emotional strength and confidence to send my resumes to schools in the area. Who knows if a teacher might quit.
I am thinking I need to polish my Learning style session proposal for the October teacher institute (No, they don't put us in rubber rooms or special jackets.)
I am thinking about how much the support I get on this site means to me.
I am thinking that I really like myself.
foothillbilly 07-22-06, 05:53 PM I pretty much always answer, truthfully, "I don't know." Mostly, I don't know where to start. Plus, by the time I actually said whatever I'd been thinking about in the prior minute (including side tracks and diversions), the other person would be gone or bored to death.

Crazy~Feet 08-01-06, 11:41 PM I gotta peeeeeeeeeeeeee! That was TMI was it not?Nah it was totally OnT after all. I am thinking NDU is not all that its cracked up to be. Badd day all round I am sad to report.

Veighen 08-02-06, 02:12 AM I am thinking:
"wow, could that guy snore any louder?"
Not even on the same floor as me.
Matt S. 08-02-06, 10:25 AM i tend to interrupt them before they finish the right now or even thinking part and go off in a million directions then i get asked please be quiet and w/o meds thats when i argue with meds it is a bit clearer so it can change
*~ §EEK ~* 08-02-06, 06:19 PM Opps, Last night I must of thought that this was thread was sort of like the "What are you doing right now?" thread!
Sorry about that! LOL
Crazy~Feet 08-02-06, 11:57 PM What a pretty color is black really is, and how comfy it is to see it so clearly again.
meadd823 08-03-06, 10:35 AM This man needs to go to work . . . . . .
Crazy~Feet 08-03-06, 10:40 AM My MIL can never keep a job and neither can her son...I see patterns, people.
Veighen 08-03-06, 11:39 AM What am I thinking:
I wish I could get this stupid song out of my head!!!! :mad:
Its is haunting me seriously, playing over and over again..
Song:
"They call me mellow, yellow...."
AAAAGHHH!!!!
meadd823 08-03-06, 11:40 AM OKay now I am going to make a kitten rug . . . . .he is bouncing about all over the living room, wanting to play with my mouse cord, swing from my pony tail, get the dog wound up. . . and it is my bed time. If I put him in my room close the door so he can't get out he will whine, If I go in my room and close the door so he can't get in he will sit out side the door and whine . . . . .man finally did go to work well he went out side any way.
I just had to call my doctor and ask him to go ahead and write the prescription to a medication that is going to cost me $350.00 for a month. I have to take it for three at least. . . . . .need to learn bank robbing. . . . .could you see an easily distracted ADD woman trying to focus long enough to remember she is robbing some thing? Plus I would feel bad when I scared people and I couldn't shoot any body, and that would probably be obvious to every one because I am way transparent. So I am hoping for a money tree! Problem is you got to have money to buy a money tree rather counterproductive is it not?
So I am bummed but know it could be worse.
Struggling 08-06-06, 03:36 PM I know what I am thinking until I am asked, then the question interrupts my thoughts and I forget (or don’t want to bother explaining)this is exactly me
My mind is going 100 miles a minute at least,if i wrote everything i was thinking,it would bore you all to tears.
meadd823 08-06-06, 04:31 PM That banana didn't fill me up
I got to get wash off the line and it is too hot for any living thing to be out there even for the five minutes it takes to get laundry off a clothes line.
Wonder what is in the frig
Should I take a nap!
Crazy~Feet 08-06-06, 04:45 PM Why did BDH have to wake me and why don't I just get off this comp and go back to sleep now that he and the baby have left?
Veighen 08-06-06, 05:02 PM I am thinking:
Do they have to chew their food SO LOUD?!!!!
I mean they are in the next room!!
Ugh! It makes me so mad.
I hate listening to it, and hearing them suck their teeth after!!!!
DRIVES ME NUTS!!
Why, am I the ONLY one that can hear this?!
Crazy~Feet 08-06-06, 05:09 PM I wonder what the food at Veighen's house smells like?
VisualImagery 08-06-06, 09:24 PM If I pi ssed a couple of people off and that I really don't understand why.
Is RADD BADD?
Do you love me baby?
I am thinking of how good it sounds too curl up in a ball and go too sleep by the air as it is too hot to be outdoors anymore today!!! :faint:
fasttalkingmom 08-06-06, 10:58 PM I am thinking about how I can get Lipz17 out of the winners spot on the last post thread ;)
Crazy~Feet 08-07-06, 12:39 AM I am thinking that I love RADD, and that for the life of me, I cannot figure out WTF is wrong with my digestive system these days! :faint:
I am thinking
Of how bad i missed my loved ones and friends that i am 2600 miles away from.
I am thinking that I have a list that goes on forever of things too do tomm so i need to try to get some rest.Good night all!!!!:faint:
Crazy~Feet 08-07-06, 09:30 AM I am counting the hours to the baby's naptime...which will be my naptime too.
meadd823 08-07-06, 04:57 PM Napping sounds like a wonderful plan!
I am feeling a lot of aniexty again and have no clue why.Sooooooooooo sick of this feeling.It has always been a issue for me at times but a loooooooooot worse since the weight loss surgery.
I am thinking:
Do they have to chew their food SO LOUD?!!!!
I mean they are in the next room!!
Ugh! It makes me so mad.
I hate listening to it, and hearing them suck their teeth after!!!!
DRIVES ME NUTS!!
Why, am I the ONLY one that can hear this?!
Your not...I hear these things too and they drive me nuts as well...especially the sucking on the teeth thing....UGH!
I feel really short today,and have no clue why.Hating this feeling its not right!!!! :faint:
Crazy~Feet 08-07-06, 08:26 PM Draggin' me feet off to bed soon. Thinking how right Tammy was about laundry :mad:. How can freakin' laundry be this exhausting??
*~ §EEK ~* 08-07-06, 09:39 PM Opps, Last night I must of thought that this thread was the "What are you doing right now?" thread!
Sorry about that! LOL:D LMAO... Well, at least it's nice to know that I'm not the only person that keeps wanting to get this thread confused with the "What are you doing right now?" thread! LOL :D
Perhaps the title of this thread should have been "Do you ever get asked, 'What are you thinking right now?'".
Then maybe people will stop getting it confused with the "What are you doing right now?" thread! LOL :D
Anyway, that's my take on it! (For what it's worth!) :)
Peace,
VisualImagery 08-07-06, 10:46 PM I am thinking how glad I am to have friends on this forum-I will survive-
I am thinking that stress must be the big bonzer thing that makes my neck arthritis become blindingly painful and am cogitating how to keep that from happening again. Hoover dam-it hurts, time to go to bed let sleep numb it.
Crazy~Feet 08-07-06, 10:48 PM My arthritis is nutso right now too RADD. It was not as hot but extremely humid today and well, dampness is dampness.
justhope 08-07-06, 11:57 PM Why am I not in bed right now? I have been tired...um since I got up at 6:15am this morning, but yet I am here at the computer....and my head hurts and my eyes are tired...and ....oh god....ok I'm thinking I have issues don't I :D
I am thinking and researching for a better doctor whom has knowledge in the area of ADHD/ADD for my daughter and i to get the proper treatment.
meadd823 08-08-06, 07:54 AM Gary forgot to by donut stix to go with my coffee!
Crazy~Feet 08-08-06, 10:15 AM I am so glad he finally went to work again!!
I am so happy we are going to the fair as i have been waiting to see lonestar in concert there and my little girl wants so badly to see all the animals!!
Crazy~Feet 08-08-06, 02:04 PM Why didn't I notice the filter on my central air was clogged before the air cut off? :mad: Gonna take me hours to get cooled off now and I have stupid housework to do!
Thinking of how much fun the kids are going to have at the fair today and how many pictures im gonna take as i love me some pictures,lol.
