Thinking too much

[Drakon]

I think it's actually a bit of both, E-Man. I want to know what would have happened, if anything, and I don't, so I keep thinking about it, and it's driving me nuts that all I can do is speculate, and not "KNOW".

 

[E-Man]

I feel your pain. For me it's the same thing sometimes. It drives you mad that you don't have that answer that ends the case. I think that's why they say there's a thin line between genius and insanity. The smartest guys of all time had/have so much info, but the way the universe is set up they'll never know everything. It's like being the best football player ever, but you can't play another team 20 millions light years away from you to find out who is truly the best. At some point in time you have to just love that you will never know, and have fun speculating instead of answering questions.

Now one thing you can take solace in, is that you're not unknowingly trapped in a box like most people. It's sad that people never progressively think like you do, and that they never know what they can truly achieve with their minds. They don't really form their own opinons on many things, and they are guided by an invisible hand that keeps them inferior to what they can become if they opened the box top. You don't have to feel arrogant with this like I do, but you can at least appreciate yourself for not getting caught in the "No think" box.

You've got a good point, E. It's like flying and all of a sudden realizing you're just asleep in your bed.

I think it wouldn't be bugging me half as bad had I gotten some sort of closure at first. There's something else that would make it easier, but I don't wanna get too into it.

 

[CashforStash]

When I have a woman in the back of my mind I waaaay over think it.

 

[The Guard]

There's no such thing as enough closure. That's one of the most important lessons I've learned. You will drive yourself bat**** crazy if you always have to have closure, or have to reason things out.

It's fine to think about things, to try to reason them out, but you become a danger to yourself when you overthink them or start making big assumptions about events and people's mindsets, etc.

I feel you on this man, but it's better to dream of flying than to know what flying is at all.

The Guard is right about closure here. Drak I know you and I are the same age, so I'm sure you have that youthful curse. You feel like you can do any and everything, and you have all the time in the world to do it. Since you can do everything you're so eager to solve everything so you can get to the next thing to solve, but then reality sets in. It's times like that when you [insert witty Wiseman one liner here], and you have to [insert wisdom quote from old philosopher here].

I think you're half right, kinda. It's more that I'm noticing a lot of similiarities between my current sitch, and the one my dad is going through right now, and his problem was that he waited too long, and too much had changed. I'm hoping to avoid that happening to me, and since the top choice is off limits, I'm moreso trying to reign in the "What if's?"

Though, I do think you're spot on with the problem solving bit. Ask anyone who knows me, and they'll tell you that I tend to be the kinda guy who prefers to roll with the punches. Even if I'm playing chess, I prefer to be black. I'm too much of a REactive person, and I should be more PROactive.

 

[E-Man]

I have the perfect solution for your reactive power. You find a proactive person to be your partner in crime, and then you form up Active-tron!

Do you blog Drak? Maybe that can help get things off your chest. I've found that I handle my problems better when I get things off my chest, even if it's me talking to myself. Blogging is a way to relieve your mind of some things, so maybe that will help you. I write alot of poems, so I post them on my Myspace blogs and what not. I find that it helps a bit when I'm thinking about alot of things.

Man after reading all this, I feel my not getting sleep is a minor itch to these open wounds

That's where my problem has began!!

I tried that at one point, and, to be short about it, it made the problem kinda worse. I had a website set up with what was basically a portal system [where I'd make the main post like I was making a thread, and it'd be the main post on the front page, and you could comment on it like it was a forum thread, because it was a forum thread]. And the idea of friends and fellow posters getting together to comment on my thoughts was awesome, but the site was pretty much dead. I ended up closing shop because I didn't have the extra money to throw out the window for something that I could do in a few emails.

I'm not getting much sleep either. Thanks for remind me.

Always causing more problems, this guy. Go back to becoming Batman.

 

[Paradoxium]

I sincerely doubt anyone wants to be Batman, the guy is ****ed up and dead (now).

You should consider working out. Meditate for 10 minutes prior and after. That's how I outlet everything. Some argue working out is somewhat meditative.

 

[E-Man]

Don't forget your Shark repellent Drak. You can't be Batman without the Shark repellent........or without the barracuda repellent......or without pimp slapping Robin for asking you what you're going to get your parents for Christmas.

 

[Paradoxium]

You know Drak you make a good point, the whole 'reminding bit. I've gotten more cynical since I have been back on these boards. I think I need to pull back for a long while.

I had considered it, since to me it makes sense [Mental issues solved with physical force], but walking is out of the question, and I get really bored doing the same seven exercises over and over.

The "Batman" thing was a joke. Para took a leave of absence from here for a little over a year, and we all joked that he was going off to become Batman.

Bah, you know I tease because I love ya. It's guy love, between two guys...minus one.

 

[Paradoxium]

No honestly, the political forums made me more cynical, reminds me of politicians ****ing up, and how their ****ups will screw me over down the road.

 

[Drakon]

I can dig. But if I may: just stay out of the politics forum. I mean, I know it's a simplistic answer, but if it works....

 

[Paradoxium]

Dude, I know.

I am one of those guys who cuts things or temptations all together. Like instead of buying any junk food to indulge on, I simply don't buy it at all period. The poly forums almost like a cigarette addiction

 

[Drakon]

Then that just means you're going to quit again later on.

 

[Alexia Dark]

Oh, constantly. Not a day goes by that I don't obsess over something.

You should mix it up (workouts), or else you body adapts to the routine anyways. Maybe you should consider martial arts, the types with none of the chi ********. Muay Thai, Brazilian Jujitsu, Greeco Wrestling and boxing etc...

A lot of those are still out of the question for me right now because I'm in between prosthetic legs again. Though, I wouldn't be against the Jujistu....

I might avoid community section all together, and LOL at the Superman franchise. That franchise is so incompetent t:

One thing worth adding is, you do seem like a creative person, maybe you can turn your inner thoughts into something. What some storytellers do is make poignant observations of reality and human nature, and mirror it in their story. And if it takes off you makes a nice dime. t:

I actually do that. Whenever I can finally get Biohazard published, you'll see what I mean.
