I often have very different opinions about the same subject. It makes it kind of hard to communicate. I often end up only being able to communicate one of them at the same time and I end up looking like a black and white thinker.

being able to hold two contradictory thoughts in your working memory at one time, is a sign of some kind of exceptional mentality, for good or ill.

Those thoughts often seem contradictory at first, but when I really think about them and discuss them I find out how to merge them into one coherent thought.

you are on the right track

Another way is to remain 'undecided' when contradictory ideas are floating around in your mind. Don't entertain a single opinion until such times as one firmly establishes itself.

I like to say; 'the jury is out' because it's sorta like that.

I am the same way. Often times if I am talking with someone else and come to a more intelligent topic, I may need to take a small break to piece everything together, weigh pros and cons, find a side that has a better effect (tough deciding with some things..) once I weigh everything then and only then can I go back to talking with that person. I always fell like I need to make the right choice will all the facts, I come up VERY black and white to other people, but im ok with that,
