Based on my experience I have to say that I believe women are much more prone to analyze things to death moreso than men. Especially when it comes to relationships. I see it here everyday with the "What does he mean when he says he will call later?" or "What does he mean when he breaks up with me?" or "What does it mean when a guy smiles at you?" and all the similar threads that women here start.
We guys just takes things as they are and only become analytical over things where it is required.
Speaking of dead careers, I thought Wynona Rider was finished and I regretted it because she IS a great actress. Just read she's shooting quite a few movies right now.
i over think and over talk everything. sometimes i feel like im standing out of my body just looking at myself rolling my eyes at ME!! i just cant stop talking and then once it comes out wrong i need to keep talking to try to explain what im trying to explain. i tire the hell out of myself.. lol. but in my defense. i have 2 little girls and its like this. on your mark get set talk! then errrrrrrrnt! times up, they cut me off and im burried. my husband tends to interup orjust walk away too, i dont like that to much.. he should atleast try to listen. i sometimes feel like i dont matter or what i have to say doesnt matter. im just a detailed person. dont leave anything out.. so my stories cant be short.. lol. and i talk fast too because im affraid i wont get it all in.. lol. im exahusted now.. so on that note. hope you can relate.
Oh I can totally relate. I am a very detailed oriented person too. I also tend to talk very fast as well, partially due to culture and partially learned now because there are constant interruptions in a household of 7. I know that feeling of not getting it all out before an interruption kicks in or someone's attention span to the conversation wears out. I also know that feeling of trying to explain yourself and then trying to explain your explanation.
Yeah, it can be very tiring and very frustrating. I hear ya.
I dated a woman like that who analyzed EVERYTHING from parsing every pearl of wisdom I uttered to standing in the grocery store aisle for minutes at a time comparing prices on toothpaste. Every trip, every date, every trivial decision was this hellish, time-consuming exercise in convoluted decision making where she worried about the consequences of everything she did. So she would watch every word she said, making conversations such excruciating ordeals that you just wanted to scream GET TO THE POINT ALREADY.

LOL. Well I do that whole comparison shopping thing, does save a lot of money which is very needed in today's economy.
However, I have also encountered people that as you describe just take it too far and are frustrating in their inability to make a decision. I believe analyzing things is important and a positive attribute to have. However, I also believe everything needs to be with balance in life.
As much as I love to analyze an important situation, at least if it is something that I consider to be important, I also love the ability to just be spontaneous at times and flow with a moment. Not everything in life has to be a mapped out plan consisting of the positive and negative effects or consequences it can have.
My husband is more of a spontaneous type of person. He figures things don't always go as planned so lets just go for it and see what happens. I think we somehow manage to bring balance to one another and to our home.
People who analyze everything typically suck the joy out of life.
You know what..although I'm one of those people youre talking about..I can't be prideful..I totally agree. I feel like theres sooo much that I'm missing out on in life. Don't get me wrong..I love to have fun..life of the party..but when the strobe light cuts off and everyone goes home..theeerrreee I go. Its very frustrating for my family and friends. They just never know what the hell I'm gonna come up with next or what stupid question I'm gonna ask or what is gonna stress me the hell out to the point where I cant sleep. My man is really good to put up with me because he's the one that has to listent to my whys, hows, dos and donts.. Sigh..its hard.

How do you take things as they are if you don't have the answers? Thats like saying the sky is blue because it is..but theres a reason why the sky is blue. No?
