I was shooting pool with my youngest son the other night and he asked my niece something that sent her into a 3 minute rant that had both of us on the floor laughing. He does question a lot which doesn't bother me but it had her spewing why do some pool tables have green felt, why don't pool halls have short pool cues for short people and on and on...lol

Anyway do you over analyze things of if not does it drive you crazy if other people do?

I over analyze things. Once my niece asked a guestion about pond scum (on a nature walk), about 5 minutes later, my brother was looking at me with this stunned look on his face and told her "Only your aunt C could turn that question into a lecture",

My kids accuse me of "going all sciency" on them all the time.

Yes, I'm guilty of thinking too much. I like to think that it's better than thinking too little. I keep the vast majority of my thoughts to myself so I don't drive other people crazy.

I can tend to do so. In any given situation, I tend to look at it from all sorts of different angles. I tend to seek both the positive sides of it and the negative. I also tend to analyze a situation to where I can see the worst possible outcome and then apply the hope for the best but prepare for the worst. In a way I do believe that it can drive someone nuts to do that, however, for mysellf, I feel it helps me to be cautious of the decisions made and the direction I head my life in, making me more sure of my decisions than to do otherwise.
