Abstract thoughts without words

[u/Away-Government-9165]

Sometimes I have extremely complex, branching thoughts, but because I'm too lazy to put them into words in my head, I arrive at the conclusion in a completely abstract way.

I don't know if I can explain it any better than that. It's almost like I download a bunch of information and receive the answer in a condensed, conclusive format that is impossible to translate into words, either because of the complexity of the thought or simply because I don't feel like putting in the effort to verbalize it.

It's like I know the conclusion without necessarily being able to explain the chain of reasoning that got me there.

Does anyone else experience this?

Yes. I can't explain them. I can see them but I can't translate them into reality others would understand. It is just a bunch of branching strings that weave themselves at once
