Do you see geometric/mathematical patterns in everything?

I personally, both actively and passively, see patterns of Geometry and their corresponding math in absolutely EVERYTHING I see. For example I see a rollercoaster and I start thinking about the area under its curve. Or thinking about how I could calculate the area of a building. I do this near-constantly on a subconscious level.

Another thing is that EVEN IN ARGUMENTS OR MELTDOWNS I'll have math problems and patterns floating around in my head the whole time.

Can you relate?

I have synaesthesia so I see number patterns, translated to colour patterns, all the time. I also love trig and algebra because of their spatial or visual qualities.

I can't say that it's the same extent as you, but I'm highly attuned to mathematics.

I'm pretty much the opposite, my brain is not geometrically or mathematically oriented. In fact, I've been bad at math since I got past multiplication, that may be part of why my brain doesn't tend to go there.

No. I do not think about math often despite studying mainly mathematical subjects in uni. Still trying to forget what little I remember of linear algebra and partial differential equations :mrgreen:
