  I was thinking about writing something until "I lost my thought" but then figured that I had gotten far enough in my thought process to still post a comment anyway eventhough it is propably one of the most pointless posts that I will probably ever make. So here we go. *clicks Post

  "by overthinking it you can find many new perspectives in one certain thought/saying/opportunity that used to be so clear before." Quite true, can become a nuisance at times (a lot of times). But anyway, thought I'd write something since why not to. I see overthinking as a blessing and as a curse. Often you enjoy it, often you may feel like it would be a lot wiser (or at least easier) to be more simple-minded. Go figure.. But to reach some sort of conclusion, I don't regret my ways of overthinking, although at times it does make you wonder is there any point to it.. But why should there be point to everything? That it is a very good question indeed (or not really but in a way anyway).

  but what if everything we've been saying here is wrong? how do you know it so right that your thought might not meet those high "standards"?:) overthinking whether can lead to unsatisified state of mind or to some understanding of things at this point of time. i think. by overthinking it you can find many new perspectives in one certain thought/saying/opportunity that used to be so clear before.

  i really like the talk that is happening here lately. i myself am not in the right state of mind to include myself, because overthinking (or more something like overfeeling.. kinda.. dont know if the word catches it.) doesnt help right now for finding the right thoughts and words to answer. hm.

  im glad to hear overthinking leads to happyness often you overthink stuff and see you cant do anything about it which means unsatisfied thoughts but in your case its nice you realised such an important aspect of life: friendship and btw LOL they laughed because that girl of your class said having friends is nice.. i mean how stupid they can get!?! o.O even without overthinking you have to admit that friends are great .. at least the right ones but well its not as easy as it may seem on the first look :)

  :) yes you see thats exactely how i tried to get some thoughts out of this group but you know you can say what you want non of them will post anything its harsh to say but yeah thats how it is btw my mind is on standby now too so i will watch a movie as-well. but being yourself is a great thing to do. try to get the right persons around you and you can stop all acting just being you is very enlightenig .. but well there are situations where you just have to get into a certain role and act as a person you normaly arnet but thats fine if you know better and play the act till you can go back to your friends and be yourself again

  yeah i agree that we cant be objective (its like acting, no matter how convincing you look, you never play anyone else but yourself from numerous aspects). i dont have nothing much to say at the moment. i thought of different thoughts but the truth is im too disappointed in myself and tired of trying to act as everything were fine. going to but my mind on standby and watch a movie.. for everyone else here reading and not talking, please, feel free and speak your mind. every word counts.

  saying what comes to your mind is like being intuitive and thats the most important thing to have being a thinker and the tpoic with objectivety .. well i guess noone can ever be 100% objective its like impossible you can reach a certain state of objectivity but whatever you try you just end up being you again i think thats because all ppl and their states in mind are the results of their past and everything what came before them everything just led to the specific person he or she is .. and being free of will means you have to die immediately because free of any will means also being free of the will to life for example well its not that easy to discuss but thats what this group is for ... tho we are the onyl 2 persons who post but its allways the same thing with this group i really appreciate your input

  ok, I'm like tryin' real hard here

  stream of consciousness is what we need here? say the first thing that comes to your mind. actually I've thought a lot about authentic thoughts. don't you sometimes end up thinking that is the thought your own or borrowed ? how can we be objective? objectivity is again tricky business I guess...according to Schopenhauer objectivity can accur when we are free of will. And really if you don't apply for anything, it's possible to free mind and for instance not worry about yourself being this or that..

  well if chatting is a way of getting ppl to talk out their thoughts is nothing wrong about it .. i guess, but please share your thoughts with us

• huggingtheworld

  well I think that what has been going on here has nothing to do with thinking, it's called chatting.

  yeah i know your problem but well just cut your thoughts at some point even if they seem imperfect in this state but otherwise over-thinking gets in the way of everything.. i mean you allways think and if you allways think too much before you do something it will led only into lethargy so: FEEL FREE TO POST! :)
