I Think..

[lil02nicx]

Well im not positive this goes here so move it if it doesnt...





But im constantly thinking about everything and its starting to affect things that should be fun. I was at the club the other nite and i couldnt even have fun dancing i would just think about things and if i was doing good. And the same thing during sex or kissing i just think about things ive read and i cant orgasm because of it. And when im at the mall looking at outfits im thinking about something or when im with my friends.



so my problem is I think i think too much



Is this normal? Or do i have some sort of anxiousness or self esteem problem or something?

Perfectly normal in my opinion. I used to just wonder about a lot of crap, and it would get in teh way of things a lot. The point is to just ignore it and shrug it off, unless you are thinking about an actual thing or are worried about something and that thing you're thinking about is bothering you.

Ah I know how ya mean. I think I do that too..dunno if it's normal haha but I'm sure it is. like.. I'll be kissing my b/f and thinking at the same time... and i'm like..isn't this kind of stuff supposed to wrap you up in the moment and you stop thinking? haha guess not for our kind of people its normal. dont think there's really anything you can do to stop it though..you're either a thinker or you're not...guess you are lol.

Hey,

I would think that's normal....Because I do that all the time! Sometimes it's fun....sometimes it's scary and others.....well I'm not going to go there....It's normal...You have nothing to worry about.. Maybe there's something on the back of your mind that you're wanting to get off of your chest?

[Michie]

I do that a lot.

I think it depends on what you are thinking about...what is occupying your mind?

If it's good things, or things that aren't important, then there's absolutely nothing wrong with what you are doing.



Since this is in self Esteem, I'm making a guess that you think a lot about that very thing: about yourself, your problems, your worries ??

If I'm wrong you can correct me. I'm only saying that because I know I do that all the time, and this thinking occupies my mind so much that I can't function at work...I get too anxious and tense, about screwing up, and then I screw up.



I'm with you hun. I overthink. My friends always tell me that I do.



It's not unnormal, but overthinking did make living much more difficult for me.



If you have the same issues, you can pm me and we can talk!

[linds*07]

i wish i could stop doin that...it does ruin stuff...but like instead of just worryin think about whats goin on around u...focus on the music or the lights or whatever......its a normal thing i think all ppl do it....but when it becomes a bother just try to focus on something else.

Other people think they think alot.I usually think about things whenever I go somewhere.It also depends on what you are doing and if you want to do something.

I use to dwell on things and try to understand how everyone fits in all the time. I think it was just asking to feel bad about myself. You need to try your best to keep your mind off thinking about what your doing and just do it.

i do that too, like i think and worry about some crap all the time, some things are just stupid but i cant help it, once it gets into my brain it just goes on and on and it's annoying

Ya I do that a lot...I often used to go through my life and analyze why I've become so whacked now. I also analyze myself a lot...when I'm anxious of course. When I'm happy, relaxed, I'm not worrying at all.



But I got worried and started thinking when I babysat recently and the kid didn['t listen...I thought of how I can't get kids to listen b/c I have my dad's laid back personality, and in my family, my mom's got the belt (metaphorically). She's the head of the household. My dad is clueless sometimes. Ya, I often think I'm like my dad. Doesn't boost my self esteem at all.



It does ask for trouble. I've even analyzed how I could make myself more miserable, and I've analyzed how I could punish myself for being a bad person. The latter is awful. I went in circles in that one.



I know what you're talking about. It's awful. We have to stop thinking .

[XxBroken]

I do that all to often too, it sucks sometimes because it ruins moments or gets me completely side tracked.



But I'd say it's very normal, just look at the number of people that responded that feel the same way!



It's just something that I guess has to be worked on for alot of people, if you find that it's runing things for you then when the certain thing is going on, focus thinking about that, and things involving whatever you are trying to stay focused on.



I know thats not much but I really don't know how to explain more haha, good luck to you, and feel free to IM me anytime, my Aol it on 20 hours a day.
