Dominique: It is crazy because I am a what if thinker. Yes, a what if thinker can be bad, but it can also be good! I rethink and question that…what if scenario to almost everything I do:
- What if everyone turned into a zombie right at this minute?
- What if I just won the lottery?
- What if I fell walking down these stairs?
- What if I lived in that house?
- What if I could sing?
Do you think like this?
Brenda: I don’t think this is crazy at all because I do this too, but not as detailed as you about zombies and I truly believe it is not either good or bad just some people think this way and some people don’t. Some of my similarities are the same, but some are not:
- What if I just won the lottery, what would I do with that much money and what would I buy first?
- What if I fell in the swimming pool, can I get myself out without panicking or can I actually swim to the wall?
- What if I lived in that house, would I decorate it differently than my house now or pick a completely a different style?
You see I feel neither good or bad about being a thinker…it’s natural for me, but people generally think differently right? My questions at that moment tend to go a step further to the next question. I do not do this with every scenario, but it happens! Do you think I’m crazy?
Dominique: My opinion is that being a what if thinker is better because you think about things before doing them. Also, being a what if thinker means you have more of a creative mind to think outside the box. This can be helpful for work, school, and many activities and being able to question something that normal people wouldn’t. Sometimes my what if thinking causes me stress and anxiety, but I have more good times with my thoughts than bad. What do you think?
Brenda: Yes, I totally agree and sometimes it does cause a little anxiety, but overall it is fun! It makes you think creatively and puts a smile on my face and sometimes I laugh by myself! Mark thinks I’m crazy that sometimes I am in my own thoughts trying to spend a million dollars and I love it! Shall we ask others if they like to have fun like us or if they are completely different?
