I think about things to much.

I do that all the time myself. About most things. And sometimes I get so tired of thinking about things and I force myself to stop. I don't know if it's actually normal or not (because I do it myself), but evidently we're not alone. So my guess is that you're fine.

Perfectly normal. This is what makes people invent things, by linking things together in a creative way that initially don't seem to have much to do with each other.

Lay's Crispy Condoms anyone? LOL!

Smoking too much pot.

I think to myself a lot all the time. Don't worry, hun. It's completetly normal.

It's not actually thinking to much. What it really is is thinking more analytically than the average member of society.

I believe that our culture dulls us into thinking that thinking makes us useless, when the opposite is true.

The same exact thing happens to me. I'm driving in a car. I look at a car. My cousin in the car is a mechanic, so I ask him questions about what cars are made out of, how an engine works and so forth. I start to think about the historical development of transportation vehicles. I start to wonder about the history of human travel and then I go off onto some sociological exploration of humans in the past.

Don't condemn yourself. Learn to hone this ability to learn more about the world around you and try and control yourself in terms of thinking so that you don't become distracted from what you are actually experiencing. If you are brushing your teeth after eating too many chips, for instance, you may forget to floss because your thinking about the ancestors of lays chip factory workers =).

Not really an unmanageable problem. ADD. I also think too much- and analyze it too. I constantly [and involuntarily] run scenarios in my head.

For example, someone I know texted me recently, "I'm at [local sportsbar] waiting for the Orange Bowl to start."
I hadn't heard from him in a week, and then it had been a totally generic mass text: Hey, it's Mark. My new number, I got an Iphone. So I was ticked to begin with. And it starts.

First, I think, "So what does he expect?" And I start thinking of things to text back: "So?" or or "And...?" "What's your point?" or "Thanks for sharing." or "Who is this? Did I meet you on New Year's Eve?" [pretending I didn't enter his new # into my phone...] etc. Then, I start thinking, "WTF is wrong with him?" He's not even putting as much effort into this as you would a casual friendship [much less a close friendship].

And, from there, I thought, "What does he think? That, KNOWING I dislike sports, I would want to drive across town to WATCH HIM watch a 4 hour football game??? Idiot." And I'm thinking I might get bored and start playing pool with someone while numbnuts watches the game, as it WILL be a bar FULL of men. And I DO like that place- it's new, decent wine, a place out of the house for a bit.

In the end, I stayed home, didn't answer, as it was likely a better solution than driving there, then drinking [empty calories], having to leave my truck, the appearance of playing games, or allowing him to THINK I am still into him.

There you go. Allot of us think too much. In the end, there wasn't really much to think about. I try to use logic. I didn't really care, so I didn't respond. Thinking is a habit, and I prefer it rule me over emotions.

lol dude thats really wierd.

It could be 'mania.' Do you ever crash and become lethargic, depressed? Otherwise I wouldn't worry about it one goddamn bit...

i do that all the time...

like first thing in the morning when i brush my teeth at 4.30 am in the morn, i drowsily brushing, think, wow, this toothbrush is such wonderful thing,

you and me a abstract concrete personality by thinking test....

i had it in my behavioural science class last sem

HAHA totally normal. I think you're just thinking too much about how you think too much. As long as it all stays in your head it's all good :)
