I wouldn't say i'm "just analyzing", seems too specific.
And my critical thinking and analysis right now says you are using too much bold text
But thanks for sharing... I used to analyse all the time and have similar thoughts when I was younger. Mostly when I was on lithium mood stabilizer and every day seemed like an eternity.
I'd think of myself as just a "deep thinker". I also take ADHD medication as well as modafinil(nootropic), they both seem to make me think deeper, not so much that, just give my brain more energy to think. I don't get tired mentally. However, though, even when I went off these meds sometime during this summer for a month or so I was still thinking just as deep, and in your terms, "analyzing" just the same. The only thing that changed is that I became less energetic to think intellectually, and was much more tempted to just watch tv and sit around instead of learning and looking up stuff on the internet.
That's just me, it doesn't really matter in response to your post, just thought i'd share. I hope that this is not just a phase of some sort, but a reflection of how i'll be when i'm older. I like to think. I think that too many people go through their lives not thinking. That's the reason for this thread. Some would say too much thinking can hurt, i'd rather test that out for myself and see if it's true, because the moment I stop thinking critically, the moment I stop exploring, questioning, learning, and wondering, that's the moment I go back to being a typical average teenager who's only interested in video games, sports, and girls. I don't want to be a typical teenager. It's a waste of time. It's a category surrounded by average people who mostly grow up to do average things. I don't want to do average things. Average people aren't unique. Nobody will remember an average person. Not to say they aren't equal to people who are above average, or anything like that, that's just quite simply, not the person I want to be.
