I am 17 a junior in highschool. I am an artist and only enjoy drawing and painting images from my mind. I sort of make them up as I go along. Anyway, my friend and i were talking about some of the kids at school who seem psychotic (the main reason i engaged in this discussion was to help myself understand my mind) the kids are able, or often pull words and phrases out of nowhere that dont pertain at all to the matter at hand. I can do this easily as well, fellow classmates usually enjoy my ability to "say random stuff a lot" random. Why is this? I thought for a while it was because of my ADD, then i infered it was due to my way of thinking in pictures- but i now realize that thoughts are thoughts, and i dont think in pictures i just have thoughts. I space out for periods of time thinking about something half in pictures, thoughts and a word here and there. How do most people think? I feel like my head is always jumbled up with weird pictures and stories, thoughts etc. Am i going to lose my head someday???? Is their anybody else out their like this? Please help me. I need to know if this is okay, no one else i talk to seems to understand their thoughts well enough to say, is thinking the same as speaking for must people? Speaking and writing sound nothing like my thoughts. PLease help guys, im pretty scared.

You're simply developing obsessions over thinking patterns that everyone has, there is nothing to worry about. I'm very creative myself and often blurt out random things to the excitement of everyone around me. Watching this bad 80s, obscure fantasy movie yesterday I made up the idea of the 'airplane worm', airplanes without tails or wings, moving around based on a moment of the movie and couldn't stop laughing for a few minutes. You're just creative, don't worry about it and don't stunt your ability because people who are truly creative are much more human than most people.
