My friends say I have a freak brain. How do your thoughts manifest in your head?

My friends were talking about what the act of thinking looks like. It was a small group, so we have two people who have a running dialogue in their heads, where thinking about what they’re having for dinner looks like hearing the words “What am I having for dinner?” We also had one friend who was similar, with less words and more often just loose concepts. I described my thought process as “positional,” and no one seemed to know what I’m talking about.

When I think of January, it’s down, and time passing is moving counter clockwise. When I’m thinking through a problem, the concept of a solution comes to me and it feels like I’ve moved forward if it’s closer to the correct answer, and like I haven’t moved if it’s wrong.

Does anyone else think like this? And if not, is there anyone weirder than me out there?
