Every time I go out of my room, I make it a point not to look at anything, not to take in any of the surroundings and I always try my best to not pay attention to what's going on around me. The reason that I do this is because I have a problem. A major problem. Whenever I look around or at anything I have this problem of translating the information to the enth degree. I absorb all the information of my surroundings and work out in my head the causes, effects, effects of effects, causes of causes, nature of said noun, purpose of said none, specifications of said noun at several vantage points, etc etc.
Example: I count bricks when I see buildings, I think about the weight of all the bricks, I think about how much layering was used to layer the bricks, I think about how many layers there are of bricks, how much insulation, square footage of the roof, how many windows there are, how big the windows are, how many bricks it would take to fill up each window, how deep underground the building goes, reasons of why the building is shaped certain ways at certain parts of the building, how ventilation will be with/without A/C, purpose of plants on outside of building, how many people could fit in each floor, how many rooms are in the building itself, how much square footage each floor has, how many floors there are, etc etc.
The list keeps going on and on about different things that I think about just by looking at the building. It's not a problem because the thing is, there is no logical progression in my thoughts. All of the things that I mentioned up there and probably about 10x more things go through my head instantly. But this doesn't just happen when I look at buildings, it happens when I look at trees, the sky, people, cars, bushes, streets, etc. Everything I look at I evaluate massively to the point of delerium.
I don't have this problem with sounds, just with vision. I don't know where I was going with this except that I just wanted to say that if I wrote about all the information I absorb on my 5 minute walk to school in the morning, it would probably rival the Homer's Odyssey in size and verse.
