So I had a friend tell me that thinking too much especially in matters of the mind and how the mind works can ultimately be dangerous.I believe her because, unfortunately I have thought way too much on various topics and it leads no where happy.Even trying to get over a crush once I ended up thinking too much which poisoned me really getting over her because it lead to endless justification of her liking me.Now... I am dealing with an ex who is my best friend.. and I have a job which helps me from thinking about it too much. I can't say I really want to get back with her.. but, I can't say I don't either. I think I'm actually managing that one pretty well.However, now my issue is when I'm not working.. or even when I am.. I ultimately feel as though its all pointless. College starts relatively soon however, when I'm not working I just sorta feel empty. I don't really know if I'm expecting answers or logic or any sort of reply.. or If I'm just typing to type.. Maybe I'm just doing this in hopes no one will read it heh. Anyway. I dunno anymore.

Thinking leads to depression.

You're right, over-analysing things is a negative. Emotionally it is draining and depressing, intellectually it usually involves trying to work things out without sufficient information, and practically it holds us back from living life.
-
Yeah... I do that a lot. And when I do it just pisses me off. So your right. Dont think too much.
-
yea..thinking too much is bad...it just brings you to feel that life is getting no-where.sometimes being simple-minded is a good thing i guess.

Like Pete said, over-analyzing things is probably bad.However, I don't think thinking too much is bad. I think about lots of things everyday.Of course, you could consider me depressed. But I CAN tell you that I'm not depressed because I think too much.
