I rarely think like that. I am typically very self-absorbed always thinking of my destination, what I have to do there, who I have to meet, how soon I can leave. And my brain is full of a million such thoughts, mostly all about planning. “Did I do this yet? When do I need to have this paper turned in by? When am I supposed to meet this person for lunch. OH SHIT, I HAVE TO MEET THAT PERSON FOR LUNCH TODAY???? Crapppppp I totally forgot I told someone else I will meet them to help them with some studying. Why don’t I ever buy a personal calendar? This would never happen if I was more organized. Crap. Crap. Crap. Must call person A and cancel. Hmmm look at the time. Why is traffic so slow???? I am going to be lateeeee. Ohhh person X hates it when I am late.”
And then on the occasional day when I don’t have any particular place to go and am just relaxing/out for a walk/drive, then I’ll really take the time to observe my surroundings. Then whenever I see someone looking even partially interesting, I’ll make up their life story in my mind, and make up a reason for why they are at that place, where they are going, etc etc. But majority of the time, my mind is more in a crazy, “all over the place” stage.
