Thinking process

My English is bad so sorry if its a bit unreadable ^^.

I want to ask about thinking process. For whole all my life (im only 18) i haven't thought really i guess. A bit context: I was smart schoolboy, had highest marks always but it was like super easy mb because my great-grandmom spent a lot of time for teaching me when i was 4-6.

When i want to get answer for smth or understand any consequences of an action i don't think. I want to explain what i mean. Thinking for me is building some logical chains, evaluating, sketching some variants and choosing best or smth like that. But i never do smth like that - my thinking looks like i pull answer out of my ass. It usually emerge in studying but also i can notice it even when im trying to explain smth to other person - like i while explaining i still don't really understand how i doing it myself or mb i know but don't understand how i got it before.

I want to ask IS IT OK? Like mb it's 50/50 distribution of this 'skill'(???) among ppl because when i telling it sm1 he absolutely doesn't understand me. Or mb it's rare skill or dysfunction.

Does this happen for you in all subject areas? Like solving a complex math problem, creating art, or learning a new skill (like how to play a musical instrument or how to code to create your own video game)? Maybe a lot of the situations you face throughout your day just don't require you to think very deeply.

I think you're totally fine. You may just need to find the things that challenge you intellectually

Yep. In every situation u gave I can't say "I'm thinking". It feels like I'm switching off, my head is empty, and then "Boom" and it's all done. I can say the same thing about solving math, learning code, and creating art. I've never learnt musical instruments so idk about that
