Do you think too much?

United States
June 15, 2010 8:28pm CST
Sometimes, I think I just spend time thinking. I think about the future. I think about what I did with my day. I think about who I should call, what I should do, who I should hang out with. I think about my goals in life. I think about what to write or read. I think about everything. I feel like I think too much. Do you think too much? What do you often think about?

I don't really use my brain when I'm playing games, but I do use it when I'm here o myLot. i actually rarely think about global warming. I mean, I try to recycle and have a green thumb, but I rarely th8ink about global warming in itself. I think a lot about myself too.

Oh, I was hoping you were going to say "deep" thinking, like pondering purposes, and questioning things. I don't really consider planning out a day, or along that same line, to be "thinking", I consider it to be more like "planning". I can spend a good couple of hours at a time thinking about a single seemingly simple question sometimes.....

Well, I do plan a lot too. I plan everything in my day. My boyfriend is the opposite. He's very spontaneous. I guess that's why we make a good match! Well, I guess thinking about the future would be considered 'deep thinking.' I do that quite a lot. I think about what I want to do with my life. I think it's a huge thing to think about, don't you?

No i don't think so much. I believe too much thinking is not solution for any thing. We should find out the solution of problem without wasting time to thinking. And some time too much thinking make us confused.

I now do not think a lot. now that I do follow the existing flow. I do not have the power to think what I should do. Because what do I do already have a set. So I do not have to think.

Yes, I'm feeling the same way to you. Recently, I feel that I think too much about my career, my educations, my goals, and my plans. Everything is like coming together to attack my brain and get me strezz. Maybe we should be relax and always try to think positive..

I think way to much. I think about everything. When I lay in bed is when I get most of my thoughts and I lay there for hours thinking sometimes and not even notice it till i look at the time. And I also pay alot of details to things which makes them easier to remember so thats just more to think about lol

Think much about it either, it's just the religion must be the appropriate guidance, in order not to cause a negative thing or depression. Examples like this, thinking of bad things to others. This should not be. I spend a lot of thinking, that's good. But friends, the most important after thinking is action. Yes, action. If we only think, and without action, it was useless. So, Think, then act on those thoughts.

Sometimes I think too much like when there's a lot of work in the office and I think that I might not being able to meet all the deadlines, which really doesn't happen that often. I always meet my deadlines. I'm just too negative sometimes. And of course life. I'm thinking what will happen to me in the future. Things like that. But I really love to think. It keeps me sharp and it really helps in my work, where thinking is a great part of my job.

I prefer not to get too busy, because I am a simple person. I'm always working on something important. I think if our brains we will be depressed and it will affect our health. So chill out and do something important and necessary.

Thinking is one of my biggest flaws. I am always thinking and worrying about what else can happen next. It is not such a happy feeling sometimes, as I am my worst critic and enemy at times. :(

I am too. I over think a lot of things that happen. I over think what I'm going to do next and what I should be doing. I stress myself out a lot. That is one of my biggest flaws too.

Hi Steph, I like the topics you started a lot. :D I guess I do sometimes. Once, I have even missed alighting at my bus stop because I was lost in thoughts. Sometimes my thoughts were triggered by some things I read in a book or a view I happen to see, some thoughts about friends and family or just idle thinking, daydreaming. I had some white hair when I was a teenager and my uncle actually commented that I think too much!

That's awkward to have your uncle say that you think too much, that's hwy your hair is gray. How embarrassing! I get lost in my thoughts a lot too. It's kind of annoying to people sometimes because I'm in my own little world. Thanks for the nice compliment. I'm glad you like my discussions!

That works! Aw, you're too nice. I will. Thanks. You're actually doing quite well yourself for a newbie. I joined myLot three weeks ago. Can you believe it? You'll get the smileys soon enough. Once you hit 100 (the number in the paraphrases by your username), you get them. I used the keyboard smileys too until I got them as well. Good luck!
