Often I drift of and I like deep thinking, at once I used to do It alot in school, but then stopped when the teachers thought I had a problem. No since I got my iPod, a lot of times I listen to my music and get into to deeps thoughts about relationships, music, life(now, past, and future) and the people around me, I ponder the meaning of life, and the things in life I felt that went wrong.

It often gets in my way as often now I don't even hardly play my video games anymore I just think, think, think all day about things, it often gets in the way of my everyday activities, now I'm in college and it doesn't get to me that much, but I still do it.

Do I have some sort of disorder that deals with Over Thinking? And Drifting out?

It's called consciousness, and it's a problem for everyone.

Well I don't look at it as a problem really, its kind of a gift in a way. But often if you do that in school, that means that the work is just not interesting. But I do that a lot in school to, often when I realise it I snap back into school and try to listen and or finish the work.

Well if you did it all the time I'd say you have a problem. But if it occurs every now and then when you're just sitting around doing nothing then it doesnt seem like that big of a deal.

I don't think it's a scientific problem, but if it's crossing over into school, then it would be a problem. It's actually a cool thing to have, to be able to just think and think about different things, I do that every single day, all the time. I'd suggest during school, whenever you feel like your going to just drift out, write it down instead of thinking about it.

I've seriously been looking for someone like you for a long time. I can probably have a very deep converstaion with you. I am the same exact way. I went through therapy for it though. But its not that big of a problem. Just don't let it bring you down whatever you do. It will do that to you sometimes.

That's not a HUGE problem, but it could get you into trouble. I do the same thing sometimes, drifting off thinking about life and all that. Then I try to realize, what I believe, is that the meaning of life is living it tp the fullest!

You sound like JD from Scrubs. He always drifts off in thought.

Its not a problem. I've been doing that for a good while now. Some people even think I'm crazy but what do they know.

I'd embrace it, and I do embrace it. Just make sure you have facts straight about topics your thinking about. For example, you don't want to be just thinking about what say the movie zeitgeist tells you. You also do not want to think about just what the government tells you either.

I use to think to much to. I would remember things that I did and wish I had done them differently or not at all and it would make me angry :evil: or I would think up these terrible situations for my family and get sad :cry: Now I don't do that and I just think about what happend recently, and what i'm going to do so I stay happy :D

I do that too. A lot of times, as a matter of fact. I guess thinking about bigger and deeper thoughts is a result of teachers boring me to death with lectures.

I think deeply every now and then, and it does seem to detract from my fun. That's why I try to avoid it.

Do you honestly think deep reflection is unique to you? Get over yourself.

Well lucky you. I can drift out and think but I can't keep it that long before I dash back into reality. I can probably sit and think for about 30min then it's back to reality.

I don't think he said that:| Staying on topic, I do that all the time too. I tend to overthink every conversation that goes on that day and think of things that I should've said. Or I'll think about life in general. I do all this while pacing in a path around the house. I can go on for a while just walking in circles. :P
