is this a thing? Anyone with nonlinear thinking and pattern recognition thinking?

I’m not sure where to post this but this might be the closest to where I might find others with similar way of thinking. I have gestalt thinking, nonlinear and an intuitive pattern recognition way of thinking. I see things at system level or conceptual level and I intuitively interconnect things that are NOT related. I struggle explaining how I can see things that look so obviously similar to me in the way they function at a fundamental level, NOT at a detail level. This is genuinely how my brain is wired. Anyone out there who has a similar way of seeing the world? I would love to get your thoughts on this please because the struggle is real.

Yes, I see things as processes and systems. I use analogies between various disciplines to try to explain how related things are from a process perspective, but usually just confuse people. It’s great for planning and making projects, though!
