When does one crosses the line from thinking in depth to thinking too much?

Answer 1

When you start to lose contact with the outside world, realise you haven't paid your bills or done your laundry, there are 40 phone messages or e-mails you haven't opened much less returned, some one tells you you need to take a shower, there is no one around any more to notice you need a shower.
Some times confused with depression or obsessive conditions. May require professional help.

Answer 2

I believe all thinking and thoughts are supposed to be considered a good thing but in the world that we live in, that's not so. In depth thinking can be a problem because we never know what's going through a person's mind especially with today's dangers of the world like sexual predators or molestors, serial killers, rapists, murderers, etc.
I don't think a lot of people think too much today. I mean, we go to certain schools in a lifetime and we soak up the knowledge to use in our lifetime. Thinking too much is never a problem except when negative thoughts enter what was meant to be pure.

Answer 3

I would suggest that one crosses the line from thinking in depth to thinking too much when one cannot STOP thinking and the thinking ceases to be productive.

Answer 4

When you have thought yourself into a corner, or in circles, driving yourself crazy with a million different possibilities, then you are thinking too much. Otherwise, you are just thinking in depth, or not at all. ; )

Answer 5

"The mind is not for thinking,the mind is for receiving thought". Study facts then define problem then formulate the simplist form of the question,ask your own subconscious mind the question,let it go. The answer will come to you,if not before or just as the question is asked,then when you get still and have forgotten that you asked, the answer will come to you. All learning comes from within your heart.

Answer 6

When you cross the time deadline.
Whatever you do or think, it is always time bound. If you are just weighing all options while the deadline passes you by, you obviously had been thinking too much, you had been indecisive, not deep thinking.

Answer 7

You cross the line when you cease to apply the conclusions to your hypothetical situations, in other words when you forget to LIVE your life.

Answer 8

If the purpose of thinking is to solve a problem, you think more than you should if you know the solution but you fool yourself into thinking you haven't found it yet.

Answer 9

there is no line...maybe when u cant function in a society at all it can be considered too much...but then again every breakthrough you make can be so damn helpful in your everyday reality that youll become invincible...
