Answer 1

Lemme think: Yes, there is.

You know when you're thinking too much when you really wish you could take your head off and wash it out.

When you're driving yourself crazy with thoughts, then you're thinking too much.

When you go through a whole day and you hardly remember anything clearly---like it's been a foggy dream and you act like an absent-minded professor, then you're thinking too much.



Thinking too much is addictive. Thinking can very circular and repetitive. It can drain our energy and make a person physically sick. Thinking takes us out of the present moment and gets us lost in our own head. We all do it sometimes. It's the mechanism of the mind to go off on tangents and drive us crazy.

It's good to get out of the head sometimes.

Stop thinking so much, lola!

Answer 2

I think there is a such thing as thinking too much. I think that sometimes think too much. At least I think I do. Just kidding, yes I do believe this to be true because I tend too have too many ideas and scenarios that fly through my brain all at once and I often end up baffled on the spot, I usually have to rewind and star over from the beginning and organize things in my brain. Good Luck

Answer 3

You can tell if your thinking too much about it if you spend more then 5 minutes on it and consider about 100 different reasons why i did or didn't do this how this happened and why and what if is a major one to. thinking to much can be really bad because one can think deeply into something thats just as simple as plain sight which makes some couples angry at each other.

Answer 4

Yes I think so, I can tell when I keep analyzing everything and not able to make a selection like buying a car, I know what I want but keep going over and over in my mind why I want that car. Now I try to waiver away from that particular thing I'm analyzing to much and think of sitting on the beach or shopping you know take your mind off of the situation. I think we all over tax our brain with "thinking to much".

Answer 5

When it comes to playing sports, yes. In fact, yes when it comes to life. I play tennis and when I do think to much it destroys your game. When I just play and I am in the "zone", then it all comes together. I noticed a parallel in the rest of my life and playing tennis. You have to be patient and just do the things you need to do. If you think all the time, then how is anything ever going to get done? Don't be afraid of making mistakes. The world's movers and shakers have made the most mistakes but they learn from them. That is how they made it to the top. Enjoy life and just do it as the Nike ads say. Good luck to you.

Answer 6

Yes there is. A person can get so wrapped up in thinking of what happened in the past, or what will happen in the future, that they forget about the moment they're in. When you find yourself being "absent minded" or forgetful, you're thinking too much.

Answer 7

I think I think too much because I have a lot of time on my hands and when you feel like you can just sit down and have a conversation with yourself without saying anything then you think too much.
