I guess I'm a pattern thinker?

[A Black Falcon]

I just... think the thoughts that the words represent. That's all words are when you get right down to it, shorthand for ideas. Like, if you are thinking about how a light switch works, words don't come into it, right? You just think the logic of it all. The downside is I have trouble communicating sometimes because it takes a bit for me to put my thoughts into words.

Words are shorthand for ideas? No, as far as I'm concerned ideas are words! It's clearly possible, but I can't really imagine not thinking in words... trying to imagine other ways of thinking seems to be pretty difficult.
