Some would agree that lots of thinking is good, and some people would strongly disagree with that statement. I am one of those people who is in disagreement with that.

Thinking doesn't sound so bad on the surface, but overthinking can cause problems.

I for one, am a major over thinker. Whether I'm thinking about what candy bar to get at quick check, or where to go to college, you can bet that I'm over-thinking the whole thing.

I can tell you right now I'm over-thinking this article.

You would assume that lots of thought is good. You get to think deep into your problem, and find out all the possible outcomes and solutions to it. Little do you know, it ruins everything. Over thinking makes you crazy, it leads you to extraneous solutions to your issue.

My mind is crazy. I go from one thought to the next in a blink of an eye. I can't focus on one thing without thinking about the next thing. Sometimes I'm even unaware of what I actually said out loud. There is so much thought going on in my head that I have to ask the person next to me if I already asked them the question I just said because there are millions of other questions going through my mind.

It takes over massive amounts of time in your day. You can't enjoy your day because the whole time your thinking about a problem that isn't even that big of an issue.

It makes you unhappy. Over thinking takes over your happiness and makes you stress out. I find myself stressed for 95% of my day and the worst part about it is that I know I shouldn't be worrying about it.

It makes you ask irrelevant things. I ask the most idiotic questions to everyone around me. And everyone just laughs and says "how do you not know that?" Here's the thing, I think I know it, I just over think the answer which leads me to not knowing it. Some people don't even laugh though. They either just think I'm an idiot or get really mad that I ask so many questions that are easy.

People get nervous to tell me things. They know that if they tell me I'll start to analyze the situation in a way I shouldn't. Then I'll ask a million questions that they won't know the answer too. And then they regret ever telling me because I go crazy over it. People also get fed up with the amount of questions I ask in a day.

This all leads to how I'm always thinking a step ahead. I'm always thinking of what the future holds and what is going to happen. I commonly get the "do you think I know the future?" question thrown at me. And every time my answer is "I don't know" because somewhere deep down in my mind I feel like people do know what happens.

Over thinking ruins you. Ruins the situation, twists things around, makes you worry and just makes everything much worse than it actually is. I try to shake off the overthinking thing, but unfortunately I just can't do it. I'm always going to over think and I'm just learning to accept it. I can't change what's in my head, but I wish I could.

One good thing about my overthinking is everyone tells me "that's a really good question actually!" There is so much time to analyze that I wonder about things that don't even cross other people's minds. I really make people think with these questions.

"Over thinking is the art of creating problems that weren't even there." And that is what I'll be doing for the rest of my life.

I have done one thing to try and over come this, and that is to go with the flow. I may not follow that all the time, but I try to. I'll even just say I'm going with the flow, but really I'll be secretly thinking about it in my head and no one knows.

I have to come to terms with my thinking and I will some day. Each day is a new step to learning the ins and outs to my thought process. Whether I like it or not, it's here to stay and even if my mind drives me crazy, I still love it because it makes me who I am.
