I'm getting at the fact that proximity does not make someone important to me. It makes them annoying, more like. I choose my company.
It's about being oblivious to the world around you and concentrating on ideas, apparently. This is also more true of men than women (big surprise). But I will say that when it gets bad, I do things like walk into the middle of the street while the 'don't walk' sign is on and not realize what's going on until I'm like "Why won't that fucking car get out of my way? Wait, where am I? Why am I here?" But there aren't so much people in my head as just lots of me, and lots of insights/feelings/drives, and lots of connections/images. Philosophy or whatever (I'll just call it that, since 'love of wisdom' does seem to be most suited, and least related to academic disciplines) is probably the most constructive thing I can do with that tendency, b/c otherwise it just gets neurotically and compulsively involved in myself.
Don't get it, probably never will, but whatever works for you...
