DEFINITELY don't think enough. Proof enough is that I hear "I'm sorry" and "I don't know why I did that" WAAAAAAAAYYYYYY more than "I'm overthinking this." I'd rather the person think about it next time than apologize.
I'd rather be hearing "I'm overthinking things" - it would be a sign that SOME thought was happening, at least.
And on a side note, there is a lot of credible research (which I just started reading) showing that people actually think at different
speeds. And the latest Uni study showed that happier people think "faster" than depressed people. Correlation or not, it's interesting.
