Re: Were you always a "thinker" as a child?
Yep! And I was the same with reading too. My favorite thing was being in my bedroom, alone, with a book. When I was a teenager I used to look after my friends' horses when they went on holiday. I would go on long treks in the countryside and ponder just about everything - still kinds miss being able to do that.
I don't think there's anything wrong with it, it's just who we are. If only I was a bit more skilled and less panicky at the thinking malarky I would make a great philosopher x
