Thinking too much always lead you to saddness?

I think that's true in most cases. When you think you usually think on how to improve yourself. And so that leads to negative thoughts, and negative thoughts leads to being unhappy. But if you're having an awesome day, and you are thinking about everything that went awesome, I'm sure you will have mega happy thoughts.

No, I would say thinking makes me happy, gloriously happy all the best urban

I've always been a very taciturn and guarded person, socially (oddly enough, I've always been a natural in front of an audience!) This has lead to many speculations that I am "just shy," or that I am a passive person or that my reluctance to speak up means that I am unsure of what I want... none of which have ever been the least bit true. A few years ago, someone noticed this typical stance of mine - quieter than all my peers - and once told me that I "always look like I'm in deep thought." That was by far the most astute observation I have heard of my temperament in years, and I when I say this, I don't mean to say that I feel superior to others because I think more - if anything I feel inferior because of it. After all, sometimes too much of a good thing is... well... too much! I have have a tendency to have very low serotonin levels (that's the nerotransmitter signaling risks and dangers, plays a role in mood regulation, etc.) This makes me incessantly think thoughts that are very obsessive, anxiety-ridden, and very worrying. It is not a condition one can just "snap out of," either. It is as if your brain, thinking at a hundred miles an hour, searches for and finds your most traumatic memories and the sorest, most vulnerable parts of your psyche and constantly torments you with them. It is one of the most horrific things I have ever felt, and no physical illness or injury I've had has ever come close. I get saddened by events of the past, I worry that my friends compare me to their other friends or that their esteem for me has changed, and worry basically that I will never make the sort of progress I want to make in life. I worry about everything I my mind will find inside my head to hand to me. Certain images are also triggering - I cannot, for instance, watch those reality shows where they explore the squalid and filthy houses that some odd people actually live in. I am not sure why, but people who don't take care of their things really bother me for some reason and make me think very morbid thoughts. I have gotten slightly better now that my sleep pattern is back on track (lack of sleep or irregular sleep patterns make things a million times worse). I am not in a dysfunctional state; in fact, I can focus quite well and use good judgment quite well. I stay busy but I still think a great deal, finding myself lapsing into deep thought. I think for the most part I become concerned and sometimes a little fearful, and even sad, yes, but it doesn't reach nearly the dysfunctional state that it used to.

this is definitely true, i can attest to this. for instance if me and my boyfriend have a disagreement in the day, later that day i'll think about your disagreement in depth and other thoughts come in to mind, it just makes me sad in general. so yes, and i think it could apply for almost anyone.

I try to think as much as I can because it is said that we have to keep our brain active,and when you thin k about your life and the things which happen to you day by day it's impossible not to have moments of sadness,because no one can be joyful all the time,or at least I don't know any person like that.So feeling sad is normal,the important thing is not to let sadness turn into depression.

Yes, thinking almost-always leads to sadness. If it doesn't lead to sadness, it leads to action. Don't think, just act ... according to good thinking someone else did!

Yes i agree that thinking too much leads you to sadness. Because more thinking about something leads to worrying about that thing.

I am a silent type of person and because of that I had this deep thinker character and my mind can go places in speed of light. Thinking too much is always me past time and even though I agree that it will lead me to sadness I really don't mind much. I already master the art of feeling neutral with my mind as if both happiness and sadness just a tiny particle in my brain and they co existed well. If our mind can envision anything then I tried to think only the good memories and happy things. I don't want to dwell on sad moments because they wont help me in the end. I am a deep thinker and always will be, but it doesn't mean I am a serious type. I lived a carefree life just like anybody else.

Too much of any thing is bad ans thinking too much can be undesirable. But then it is what you are thinking of that is important. Think positive and the chances are that you will be happy. Think negative and it is sure as anything that you will be sad.

Hi katie: It actually depend on the things that we are thinking. We are human beings so we have to think about our actions but if we focus about the negative things or our problems, the things we want but we don't have we'll feel depressed. But it's not because we are thinking too much. It depends on the things that you focus on your brain that make you feel worried or depressed. ALVARO

I do the same thing, I have to keep my self busy or I'll get into a downward spiral that's hard to get out of. I put positive notes around on post it notes so that I can keep a positive up beat mood, but sometimes the thoughts creep in anyway and I find my self feeling down and once I'm there it's hard for me to get back to normal. I do get sad when I think to much, but I can't not think, it's hard for me to clear my mind.

Yes, I guess that's true. When we get to think, we will think of everything, from tonight's work, tomorrow's plan, this weekend's date to future career... that when we start to think sad...

Oh yes thinking way too much for me consumes my every thought and drains me way too much. I find that thinking leads me into too much negativity and yes I do at some point try to find some sort of distraction because I know that doing so way too much may make me very depressed.

My thoughts do end up in a sad place. Just like you they start out nice and poorly. When thoughts seem to be heading in the wrong direction, I try to move it a different thought also. Sometimes it works and sometimes I end up wonder why bad things happen to me.
