Most certainly. I over-think things all the time.. when you look too far into things you can convince yourself of things that aren't necessarily there... Hyper-analyzing things is bad for you.. can causes anxiety, insecurity, etc.

Absolutely, why do you think people are stressed all the time? You have to learn how to say, fvck it.

I think the answer is not to think about it. All I think you are doing is thinking about the problem. Just don't think about it.

Take a look at some of my posts.

Lol. It's a bad thing to overanalyze TV shows or commercials; then the flaws stick right out.

Overthinking - the biggest cause of insomnia.
You lay there desparately wanting to sleep
then you think about somthing that keeps you awake.
Happens all the time.

ditto.

a practical consequence. i'm in bed trying to sleep... then suddenly i start thinking about random things, and before i know it my mind's going off.... and it takes me forever to slow it down.

on a more serious note.... thinking too much can make life seem somewhat pointless to me. or at least... thinking about the wrong things can do that. anyway... i'm gonna stop thinking about this thread :)
