I have already agreed that I agree with the purpose of the term 'Over analysis' I just disagree with the common usage of the term itself because I think that the term of being 'overly analyical is better. Since you can't literally think too much or analyse too much. But you can read into things too much or be overly analyical in the way(s) you think.
On the matter of using it on your own thoughts - That's an example of just how literally speaking it doesn't makes sense at all...because I (or whoever) basically have exactly the same number of thoughts running through my head regardless of how analytical they are. I can't analyse too much, or think too much my thoughts can only be overly (or underly) analytical, in their behaviour or manner.
If we ever think that we can possibly think or analyse too much, in the sense of amount then I believe we're mistake and that can lead to frustration. Our thoughts just do their thing either way in terms of amount - the amount of thoughts is basically the same. It's about the how, not the amount. It's not about quantity, but quality. You can't think or analyse 'too much'. It's always basically the same amount. That's all I'm trying to say. I'm not saying the term is useless, I'm just saying I think it can be misleading, literally speaking it's false, and being 'overly analytical', makes more sense. Although I admit it's less 'punchy' perhaps
