The ones that are assumed to be thought from me

Where are the other ones from ?

I don't know, they just pop up. Like this song stuck in my head.

i put it to you that this is the nature of All thoughts. Some may then attract other thoughts that say that the first thoughts were from you. Does this resonate with you ?

Remember, i am not as interested in your answer as i am in your response to the question.
i don't care "why", but it is valuable to you to know.

I think some thoughts, and some others pop up

yes, and

I decide

you mean other thoughts pop up that seem to lead to a decision ?
During the process of "deciding", are alternatives considered, or is it just assumed that the thoughts that pop up are the best course of action ?

Sometimes there are alternatives, and then I decide the best way.

The thoughts that don't seem to be generated by me.

Like sometimes I get an idea of some sort based on triggers of other thoughts or something. Then I decide what to do with it.

Then I decide what to do with it.

When you say that "you decide...", is there anything in your experience other than other thoughts ?
Isn't the "I" part that you say, just an assumption ?

Aren't assumptions just a bunch of thoughts about something ?
