Do you over think on things?

Me and all the girls at work had a discussion the other day. Do you over think on things, especially on love? My friend/officemate likes one guy officemate and most of us thinks she over thinks on things between her and that guy. This guy is somehow IDEAL for everyone. And my friend and him are somehow "close". And because she likes him, sometimes she over thinks.

yes I admit I do but I don't think you can control what goes on in your mind, its just something that happens...

A lot! I think we are like that, we definitely want to have all analyzed before to lock in our little box, so we think a lot about a subject before putting into rest.

Yes It has been happened with me too many times when I have thought like what you have asked for. Still it happens with some interesting things and for some girl too I think..as I found her so interesting and beautiful by her physical presense ...but soon it get vanished and I get involve with some other stuff... I think everybody have this type of problem with themselve like this when they found something interesting... Thanks..

i don't over think things that i am not too involved with. but when there is a serious problem with the family, i do not just over think, i go serious about it.

I think we are all like that especially when it gives us that feeling of excitement. Anything that gives us a hype makes us think in an overly manner. We tend to exaggerate things even if we shouldn't. The only downside to that is if your friend is getting the wrong signal from that person. Maybe, they are close but she could also be misinterpreting or exaggerating such closeness. And it is painful to know that she must have indeed overreacted to such attention he has been showing her.

Hi trishasantos, I have a tendency to way over think at times but I do so to make sure my decisions whether right or wrong later will be my own judgment calls. Also by doing so next time I encounter the same circumstance the decision is quite easier.

It would be hard if your friend would over think of her relationship with the guy. It would have been better not to assume that way, without really finding out if the guy really feels the same with her too. But then again, dreaming is for free. Just don't get over board with it because reality might not be the same as the dream.

I was wondering the same thing today. I think that all humans over think things and sometimes its not a bad thing but sometime it hurts us to over think because what we are over thinking my be just that " Thoughts" My boyfriend is a guy and he over thinks too much. Our relationship is rocky right now because of all of his what ifs. Over thinking that when I tell him that I'm with my friends out having a drink that I have actually snuck off to see some guy. I tell him he's overthinking he situation because he's letting his imagination run wild.

Yes I do. Sometimes it is just there...in my mind and I can't take it off. Anyway if it is not putting you in trouble so I think that is fine. The problem is when we think so much about something an then we forget aboout the important thing that are going on around us. Like job, family..etc. I think and I think a lot about the same thing over and over again.:(

I admit I do that too ofter as well, specially with regards to love/relationships, financial or family matters/ It's just but my nature. I just keep in mind that its just thoughts, some of it might be true, some might not even happen. I just enjoy what's at present.
