How deep inside your head do you tend to lurk (see details)?

Far enough that I can often smell my ass.

Funny, I was just answering the ‘what are your flaws?’ question with mentioning how I look too deeply within myself and anyone else I interact with but that that’s not always a flaw. Anyway, yes, I live too deeply within myself but I don’t consider that to be a problem. I consider myself an extrovert.

I tend to be focused on external matter most of the time.

I would consider myself an extrovert.

I do not have trouble understanding others who think differently.

I lived for years deep inside my head only to realize that reality was happening outside, and I had been missing it. It still takes work, but I am much more aware that the current moment is all there is – and it would be criminal for me to continue to ignore it, deluded into believing that my internal world is as valuable.

I “lurk” deep in my own mind and also deep outside it.

I have the feeling that you are all inside my head, actually the whole world is in my head.
That’s not a condition that is described in DSM IV, right?
Everything I see, hear, feel, I receive through my senses, and then it is processed in my brain, in my head.

The majority of the time stuff comes right off the top of my head.
Why ponder? Spontaneity that’s the key!

I go as deep as necessary to see myself from the outside.

I’m more in my mind than out. Sometimes I space out in social situations because I’ll be analyzing things people are doing in the group. I even space out if I’m alone watching a movie because I’ll be thinking about random things.

I’m very internal. I’m not sure if this is a flaw; I don’t really view it as one. It increses when I have a lot of free time on my hands (ie. these days) and decreases when my life is very busy and demands my attention and I don’t have time to mull everything over.

I think a lot, I think everything over thoroughly. I think more than I act. I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t do this. I think it helps me be more self aware, but it hinders me by making me very cautious and a bit “out of touch” with the world outside my head, sometimes.

I have to admit that I do have a hard to understanding people who are very external, simply because I cannot imagine what it’s like to be that way; I’ve always been so extremely internal. I’m a bit jealous of some people’s abilities to just let things roll off their backs, which is a skill that I think comes more naturally to very external people.

constantly in my own head—

So much better to lurk in my head than in others.

I however am not stalking myself.

I would have answered this very differently a few months ago. I used to believe I was quite introspective and only able to process the world within myself. After some groundbreaking insights, it turns out I’m happiest when interacting with other people. It stimulates me and elevates me in ways I never got alone.

I’m most definitely external, extroverted.

I’m always really deep inside my head. It’s almost like I have a brain for everyday function, and another brain that’s watching, analyzing, criticizing, integrating, questioning. I want to see the deepest and most integral parts of thoughts, but most people in my environment IRL don’t, so I don’t do it externally.
I’m not sure if I’m an extrovert or introvert—so many things in my life are changing right now and that’s one area where I’m not sure anymore, and that’s just fine- it’s an adventure!

I’m a very deep person. It used to irritate some people I know, and I’d hear, “You’re so deep!”

I’d always reply, “And the opposite of deep is…?” He never picked up on it…...sigh*

orry, I drfited off for a second, can you repeat the question?

I lurk inside my own head a lot of the time. I see the world reflected in there.

I focus a lot on my own thoughts. I like to criticize myself or others but not that much. I do enjoy on the other hand letting my mind wonder around.

I do let others understand a bit about myself but not to much. I do not like to create mystery but I hate it when I create too much.

I don’t have trouble understanding what other people say and think at all. Or why they say it. I just imagine myself in their shoes and more often than not, I feel what they’re feeling and why.
As for how deep within myself I tend to live? Very deep. I’m always analysing the things I do and say every day, and thinking about what I would do in different situations. I often get lost daydreaming about how I want life to be, and to me that isn’t a bad thing. Because when I come back to the real world, I feel more determined and motivated to make my life the way I want it to be.

I tend to live very deep inside my own mind, I think a lot and tend to get lost in my thoughts often. But I always know when to snap out of it into the real world. I don’t think it’s a problem because for me it helps me understand how other people are feeling most of the time.

I think of myself as being somewhere in the middle of introverted and extroverted. I tend to lean in though.

I’m incredibly introverted. I know how to focus on external things, but I spend the majority of my time inside my head. I’m not always thinking about myself, but I tend to get really lost in my own thoughts, and definitely think about things more than I talk about them.

I live in my own little world. I think. Reality is sometimes too much for me, and I really have to escape. So, there’s that safe place I’ve made up. I’ve spent more than two years living there, and thinking about who I am, what I want to do in my life, who should be allowed to live in my world with me. Why is this planet such a hell, why do some people hate me so much, what can I do to help the people who are left to die alone out there. Am I spending too much time thinking?
