Not sure I can really help with this one but I guess everyone at some stage in their life starts to really relise their human and starts to ask a lot of questions. I guess a trip to the doctor wouldn't hurt. You may be over anylising everything due to the depression?

you sound pretty normal to me

or maybe i am just weird

but either way i have thoughts like that all the time.. i think about stuff constantly, in comparison to a lot of people i know i probably "over think" too

but anyway we should hang out we would probably get along

Sounds to me like you have been blessed/cursed with a high level of intellect and a philosophers mind. Try reading, Plato, Augustine, Soccratees and other great philosophers or theologians and train your mind to contemplate things worth contemplating.

those sort of hyper-conscious episodes have been happening to me since I was a teenager. I don't think it's a medical problem, though I've also had depression on and off. Maybe being depressed makes you more prone to thinking about who you are and what you're doing in life? I don't think it's something to worry about like schizophrenia. I think it's actually the sign of a thinking, interesting person, and I bet we'd get along too. As long as it doesn't paralyze your life, I think it may just add more depth to your character and even make you more interesting as a person...

Mental Telepathy?

i feel the same

i know EXACTLY how you feel wow FINALLY i found someone else too!! i wonder about that stuff all the time im glad to hear it might just be a way of showing intellect haha

i totally understand. I am almost 20, and for the first 19 years of my life i didn't have this problem. I was extremely social, got great grades and was very happy. For about 6 months in every situation I found myself being worried, distracted, not present, even trying to come up with what I would say next before I would say it. I found myself being worried about what people thought of me, but more importantly i didn't know myself. I would even be worried about people I didn't even like, but I knew i didn't like them. I couldn't act on what I felt because I would get distracted with the given situation and would worry about it. I felt like I understood too much and was on a different plain than everyone else. However i know i have so much potential.

I haven't fully corrected the problem however am figuring out myself again. Here are some steps:

-Don't look back: For me I was living in the past, worrying about things that i knew didn't matter but i couldent help it. Everytime I would start to do this I would catch myself and force myself not to do it.

Do not worry about what your going to say:
This was very hard and is still hard for me but under no circumstances worry about what your going to say.

Stop caring about others for a while and focus on yourself:
When I started doing this my problem would seem to vanish. If a situation is not peaking your interest or serving goals that benifit you, just leave it to find something better. Im not saying abide by this in your life, it just helps if you do it for a couple days to get your mind back on track.

Try to look at the bigger picture

The last and best thing that has helped me is to go into the doctor and talk to him. I had been suspecting I had some form of ADD, but was in wonderment because I have never had any of these symptoms before a year ago. I started taking riddalin that I bought from a friend and it helped alot. Then, after more research I found some 30mg adderral and started taking it without seeing a doctor. I saw amazing improvement. I started doing things that felt like me again. I felt more and thought less. however i still wake up in my mind time again and worry about how good i was doing and how to keep it up. However I started getting mad at myself when this happened and would suppress it as fast as possible. Phycyatrists are good, but i had a very severe problem. I saw a medical doctor and got perscribed aderol. Getting a gf really helped as well because when I am around her I feel completely comfortable, even in large groups.
As crazy as it sounds, getting drunk with friends once a week also helped me. good luck man, -jamin

wow! The bottom posts exactly how ive been feeling latley, and my gf has helped me immensly, in fact shes helped me more than anything else has. But ive been overthinking latley like "what am i going to say when a person says this?", or whatever. and ive found myself comparing myself to the old me when i was feeling great and trying to say funny/witty things to try and seem like the old me to everyone else, but half the time i end up makin outta myself and pissing people off, and ive figured out its cos im just trying to seem normal to everyone else, and they dont even know the difference between how im feeling inside, so i should just relax. Also ive found myself over analyzing other people when they talk like say my aunty talks ill think wow how did her brain tell her to say that or thats really smart, even though it might be a trivial or normal thing to say, and i know it seems stupid but yeh thats what ive been feeling. i found a thing called introspection on the net which is like you judging yourself from an outsiders point of view which i think ive been doing a lot and they said its from fatigue and i have been lacking sleep. And i had never had trouble with this through all the other years of my life, but recently ive found myself being nervous about social situations and worried im gonna lose friends or people i love cos im acting different, or maybe its just that im scared of being judged or rejected. Im only 17 and ive never felt like this until only a few months ago, i know ive got deppression (ive had it on and off for years) and a bit of anxiety, it runs in my family and my mums bi polar, im not sure which ones playin up lateley, cos i feel down at some points during the day, then normal, then happy, then teary, so i know i need to address my depression, but yeh i guess i just need to stop worrying, and ive realised sleep is a big factor, without sleep you start thinking wierdly ive started thinking maybe i should go on anti-deppressants again to try make me feel normal again, but im not sure, this might be something i can get over with, without meds.

if anyone has anything else to add, id really appreiciate it.

cheers man, and to everyone whoose posted, youve helped heaps.

LOL i do that sometimes, but i do it and give glory to god, because i think to myself, what a great awesome and wounderful and merciful god we have that made us so perfictly wonerful.
But i guess you do it for a differnt reason, but hey, it's still cool i guess, as for the what is "i" thing i do that to when i'm being funny with friends and i say how do we know what i means, and we even know which i is being spoken of in a convosation, like eye,i,or igh igh captin lol.
