Constantly Curious!!

Post Reply New Topic

Hi for some weird reason I am always constantly curious and sometimes it can lead me into dangerous situations, others just awkward, or interesting! I dont know why I am always curious but I am. Is this normal?

Im the same way.

I'm the same way, even now that I'm 50. I believe it's a strong need to make sense of a world we don't understand. And I think it's also at the basis of our special interests - which are almost always about learning from our surroundings. If, like me, you notice that once you get the principle of it, your curiosity vanishes, then this may be the reason.

Oh, a piece of candy.

I'm ALWAYS asking questions. I want to know what that thing does an why did he do that and how does this work.

Me too I been always wanting to know how things work what makes things tick and recently how do you say something in a different language!!

Yep I am like this. I always ask questions and explore places just to see what's there. I also do alot of research online about varying topics just because I'm curious. I want to know the how's why's and what's of everything.

Way to go!
But, just make sure you don't stick your nose in other people's affairs, that's what old women do.

I'm obsessively curious about everything.

This is probably why I'm the only person who had no problem with a pre-school child who asks "why?" constantly. That was me but I had to learn to curtail it a bit when I realized I knew more than my teachers in my school years. At work I'm always the one who questions everything!

Have you ever seen a young child, around age 3-4ish? The way they are constantly asking questions?
I never grew out of being like that. The difference now is that I know more than most of the people around me, so I do my own research to answer my questions.

My daughter's especially like this. A walk to school, in the morning, is like a scientific expedition. She has to stop and look at every slug on the way and she spots unusual looking plants and insects. Even when she was really tiny, she was obviously more curious than other kids her age. I used to take her to rhyme time in our local library, but she wouldn't sit on my knee and clap her hands like the other babies. She would scurry off to see what books she could get her hands on. I had to stop taking her, much earlier than I'd planned, as I was always chasing after her and I think we were distracting the others. When we went to baby gym, she would not sit in the circle for the warm-up or song time. She'd be off to see what apparatus was set up. Yet again, I was constantly chasing after her, but it was an activity class anyway, so we managed to keep going until she was too old.

This is one thing that is helping with ASD traits, e.g. taking things literally. She will hear a statement, think that it doesn't make sense, so she'll ask for an explanation. Her natural curiosity means that she wants to know more; an explanation which will help her to understand. We seem to be working our way through the expressions that cause confusion for some people on the spectrum. I think the speech & language therapist was impressed that she asks so many questions about such things.

I tend to have my moments where I act like Aimaimon from Blue Exorcist when it comes to curiousity!![youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZatZlNNCOs[/youtube]
