tkdgirl, I think in many, many shades of grey. To tell the truth, it is not that great. It prevents me from making decisions efficiently. I've had this problem since childhood, actually. I am always considering all the possibilities, the pros and cons, the umpteen different scenarios, etc. I can see things from many people's points of view. I would like to be more of a black and white thinker. Maybe there is some sort of middle ground between many shades of grey and black/white. I don't really want to work on this problem in therapy, though. I've kind of grown accustomed to being like that and am able to exist with this trait in my personality. There are other things I'd like to change more. Tkdgirl, if having black/white thinking is causing problems for you, then it seems worthwhile to try to change.
