I started a post a while back on why it's thought we don't get sarcasm and this is kinda similar.
Why do we - or why is it assumed that we - obsess about things?
I seem to do 1 of 2 things:
a) I think about 46 things at once, or...
b) I think about one thing incessantly.
I'm wondering if we do b to avoid a. What do you think?
I don't know how your mind works, but I wonder if I get exhausted thinking about anything and everything and as a get-out I focus all of my energy and attention on one thing, to the exclusion of everything else.
