Is it normal to have few or no thoughts often?

A lot of people ask me what I'm thinking, at least once a day, and I always answer with the truth, "nothing". I always thought it was normal but when i respond with nothing nobody believes me. is it normal to not constantly think to yourself? I just say what I say and do what I do, with little or no thoughts behind any of it.

    Oh, I would kill to be you. I make myself miserable thinking. I wish I could watch American Idol, Jersey Shores or one of those "housewives" things. But no, I have to sit around thinking about depressing shit.

    I wish so badly that I was you! I ALWAYS have at least two (usually more) thought processes going on in my head at any given moment. I can rarely focus on just one thing because of this. My over thinking also carries over to me having extremely crazy dreams every night, because there is more material for my subconscious to work with. I am curious what your dreams are like? You are probably an extremely healthy, well adjusted person. I envy you so much!

    I do that too but my brain is always acting it's like it is thinking but not telling me what it's thinking.

    i agree....you will live a longer and happier life than all of us who overthink things. My mind is like a remote control that keeps changing the channel...I'm sure you probably stress a lot less too!...As long as you can think when you need to, I would enjoy the peace and quiet in your head. :)

    This happens to me a lot. I'll just be sitting there thinking nothing and then "what are you thinking?". Lol maybe I look troubled when I'm not thinking about anything :)

    People usually have something running through their mind for the most part but even I sometimes have moments where I'm just zoning out not thinking of anything.
