"You think too much"

Has any one else here ever has that exact phrase said to them on multiple occasions in their lives?

  • Yes, though only when I'm analysing something that the person who made the comment might not want so much detail about. When I do it and it's well received then it's less likely to be mentioned. I put my overthinking in writing to someone yesterday and when they took the time to reflect on what I said, they told me I am very perceptive and able to understand their point of view. Our verbal interaction hadn't gone so well...
