Xensity:

You are asking this question and questioning your state of mind because your inclinations don't seem normal to you, by dint of their deviation from conventional social mores. But because your inclinations are different from that of most people, does that make it abnormal? No, it doesn't. Actually, there is no such thing as abnormal in the literal sense when it comes to behavioral patterns in humans. Behaviors we label as abnormal are the ones that tend not to conform with the behavior of the majority. But just because majority of people behave in a certain way, doesn't mean anyone that doesn't behave like them has a problem, especially if this behavior isn't inherently noxious.

Thinking the way you do is actually a gift. Not everyone has this gift. People who think like you do are people who revolutionalize their world. All the great scientists and inventors were obsessive thinkers. Most public intellectuals and paradigm shifters of our day are thinkers. You have a curious mind, and best thing to do to a curious mind is to feed it, and the best way to feed it, is with books. Read as much as you can. It's good you already enjoy reading. Read more and more. Read difficult books. Read books that stray from your comfort zone. Read books that critically examine new and old ideas, cutting across various academic fields. Create an account on goodreads and explore different categories of books. It would expand your scope of knowledge and generate new ideas and novel ways of thinking.

There is nothing wrong with you. As long as being you makes you happy, don't change it for anyone or anything. Keep on thinking. It's the doorway to enlightenment and freedom from intellectual bondage.

I would give you a million dollars right now if i could afford it.

You are cute...

I'm an hybrid between extrovert and introvert...OK, a 6/10 extrovert. Yet, I love my own company, I talk to myself, laugh , smile and just plain enjoy playing in my head. You won't even guess it cos I could be the life of a party without working a sweat too! Enjoy your creative mind...nothing do you.

Its very very normal . You are likely to be an INTP - a personality type . You are very future oriented . Your mind is buzzing and occupied with thoughts about anything .- life , theories , nature , people's behavior etc . You have this unquenchable thirst for knowledge. You just want to know everything . Do you wander about the house filled with thoughts ?

Same with me . Its perfectly normal . We develop theories , we solve mysteries , thoughts rule our world , we are INTP

But first .. you have to confirm with this online test . Please reply with a snippet of your result

OK, so I'll start off by saying yes I am an introvert. and my daily routine is either I'm reading a book or being on the internet or watching a movie or just allowing my thoughts to consume me literally. Sometimes I sit and think or should I say creating a scenario in my head... like I'm thinking of how the future would be or I'm recreating a past event that happened (to me) and you know turn it to how it should have been? sort of. Sometimes I'm curious about the littlest things it just makes wonder a lot. like there's just mysteries in this world, hell the universe like what if there's another planet like earth and there's another me somewhere out there in space?....

well anyways is this normal or it's just me?

this is just like me basically, that is the reason i try to engage somethings whenever i fear my thinking is getting too much. and funny thing i dont like too much talking, i belief mine is crazier, because thinking have put me in a lot of troubles in the past. well i think its normal some of us are just like that, but then i still fear the possible medical complication

Re: I Think I Think Too Much... Is This Normal?? by Phi001(m): 9:33pm On Jan 01, 2017

I wonder if anybody here thinks as much as me when I'm bored.

From maths to marriage to career to environment to history to past events to the future to death to possible immortality to technology to people and so on...

Mhen boredom is not a good thing...

Hmmm, happiness is relative dude...For some happiness is as simple as giving a butterfly a chance to fly or a mosquito a crush to its wings. Remember, both insects are flying insects. Be yourself please and have fun! Can you imagine how unhappy an introvert will be as a party host or how excited an extrovert would be as same party host? It is well...God created us all differently.

There is a scientific research, published in a peer-reviewed journal, on intelligence and happiness and the verdict is that intelligent people are way sadder than average folks because, among other things, they tend to think too much.

Anyway, here is the point I made in my post which you seem to have missed: She wondering if she is okay is a sign that she is not finding an outlet for her overthinking (this can be due to either laziness or want of the requisite skills) and that is decidedly a problem. You saying she is cute and all obviously missed this; that is, you missed the fact that she is being happiness but isn't having fun! That’s what I sought to address. Oh, yes, happiness is relative, but that’s another matter.

Please call me anything but “dude” if you choose to reply. I’m way too old for that word. Biko. Thank you for your cooperation.

You make it sound like it's such a good thing. If you're in the world to have fun, it's a disadvantage for her. If you want to create and simply leave things in the world for others like Isaac Newton, Thomas Edison, etc, it's a good thing. She doesn't seem creative - that is why she has time to wonder about it. She may just end up one of those intelligent people who live a very unhappy life.

You really don't know how Melancholies behave.
What you call Fun, might be totally boring to Melancholies.

For me I don't enjoy outdoors, and crowded places.

Melancholies have so much fun when they a lone.
That's when they start experiencing Eureka Moments.

I was so much like you while growing up, I got lost many times in wonderland, imagined so many things, when life felt sad for me, I will just crawl into my wonderland and think (imagine) myself as many things, it gives me that feeling of El dorado. but the dangers inherent in it is that it limits your active life, instead of stepping out to do something, you just lazily imagine yourself doing that thing, it hindered me a lot. but on the positive, it helped my creative side, cos I drew and painted artworks, at sometime, I even drew up a novel where the lead character was a female Nigerian president who was a subject of many assassination attempts by many chauvinistic men, couldn't complete it, cos my big brother used every slightest reason to beat and humiliate me at will, flogging me with high tension cables. he tore the manuscript and forced me not to continue, and I had to for fear of being flogged like a common criminal.
so my advice, enjoy your wonderland, but go out and do something.
good day

You have ANXIETY NEUROSIS/DISORDER. OR What is termed OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER. If not controlled, could produce varieties of medical symptoms that would make you think you have some grave illness. See a neurologist.

I'm just wondering if its only introverts that possess all these melancholic attitudes

Re: I Think I Think Too Much... Is This Normal?? by ikp120(m): 9:45pm On Jan 01, 2017

I have been that way since secondary school days... Back in JSS when I usually had bad results, I would just sit somewhere and be lost in my dream world, seeing myself standing on a stage one day and becoming highly sort after cheesy

. It was so real in my head mehn that I would just be smiling like this smiley cheesy

Guess what? It came to pass that my fortune turned and I became a star in school from JSS3 to graduation; making straight A's in all the subjects every term... Won platinum, gold, and bronze medals. Got state, national and international honours. Graduated as the best student in my set.

I am the deadliest introvert you can ever meet (except you are a fine girl of course grin

). I can sit with you and be in Russia working with a team of hackers grin

.

All these shiit vary from person to person; they are fvcking alright.

Yea, I fvcking hold conversation with myself; I argue with myself to the point that I would tell myself, "Asshole! That's fvcking wrong mehn! That's not the way this thing is done.". I explain things to myself audibly until I get them vividly. Sometimes during these conversations I would have to tell myself "Wait! Wait!" because ideas literally flood my mind at a rate that I can't fvcking keep tab with.

That's not really 'thinking' as in 'worrying', but a strong imagination in manifestation.

Lol. Nothing is wrong. You're OK. You're just like me...Mel temperament. Sometimes I lose sleeps due to thoughts. But always avoid talking to urself alone. That's one advice I can give you.

Did you go through a tough upbringing?

At the bolded why? Just curious tho. 'cuz someone told me that sometime ago.

I think too.Infact i've always known myself to think alot to the extent i started acting out dramas and laughing out with the people/thoughts in my head.Which would seem to people as talking to myself.It even got to a point that someone asked me if i'm a witch that talks and laughs with demons i had to quit for a while but i started all over again.
So what's wrong with talking with oneself.

I am the only girl in my family and I have never lived with a girl apart from my mom while growing up. Couldn't stay in the hostel and never had real friends. in fact till date my only confident is my big mirror and nairaland. Although I have written a book (not published). I always feel bored ...
So Darling you are not alone.

I think you are cuter at bolded.

Alright vicar, you appear to have ample knowledge about the issue. I really think she's cute( that's me not bothering my pretty head about the psychology of different temperaments and dispositions) . Those who want to channel their energies and intelligence into leaving a legacy for others are mostly geniuses whose life are kinda boring except for work.

If you ask me, I would say playing is more interesting than working...I would say, lazing is more interesting than diligence. Don't blame me oga, I'm not a dull girl... Remember that theory about humans and work?
