I never mentioned you in my reply, I said "people", "one" and in addition to that "tend to".

If you are viewing it as a personal insult that is by your own choice.

My bad, I forgot to say what happens when I play football:

Before ten minutes into the game, my legs are already hurting and I haven't received the ball. I push myself but I never go far.

Maybe you shouldn't play football?
Find something else that's social that you like doing, or train really really hard.

I have found this to be true of myself, but I think that due to my intelligence and my/our ability to stand aside from ourselves and objectively judge ourselves in order to understand what we do, why we do it, whether this is good or bad and whether or not it can be improved, this helps us try and eliminate the things that make us feel bad.

He pretty much sees how smart he is, and then goes about trying to figure out whether he would be happier if he got smarter, going off of the assumption that he is stupid.

Thinking for yourself is hard to do. Honestly, I think that no one has the ability to think for one's self. Just action and reaction. So what we call a mind, to my understanding, is just a symbiote, coexisting with reality. Whatever will happen is set in stone.

The only way I think that one could think for one's self is to not react to any action forced upon one's self. But even then, if someone reads this and decides not to react to anything, they've already reacted to reading this message. This is actually a very depressing topic.

How is thinking for yourself hard? The only part that may be hard is realizing that you need to look out for yourself first, then worry about others. It may sound selfish, but it's true.

I guess I could say I over-think a lot aswell. It traduces itself in a lack of initiative and of will to change. Generally I would say I'm lazy but I manage to find reasons for my inactivity by thinking. I have this constant inner conversation between reason and short-term pleasures where it's sometimes hard to distinguish one from the other.

When my past lack of initiative becomes very obvious, I criticise myself interiorly in the strongest ways I ever do and I feel sad for a while. The trouble is that while I'm being gloomy, introspective and harsh upon myself, I'm not being active either so in a sense I'm over-thinking aswell. It forms a vicious circle.

Fortunately this isn't always the case because I'm often busy with the duties of life (I'm thinking of school here) that force me to be productive for at least a while. Then there are punctual and rewarding moments of realisation and of awakement from the flegmatic state where I actually do things I've always wanted to do but put off for various reasons. Those moments can be the highlight of my week sometimes. Seriously, internet comments are seldom strong enough to make you act but I encourage you, if you have the same problem, to try doing all of your chores, homework and duties on a Saturday and do something you've wanted to do on Sunday. See that friend you haven't talked to for a long time, visit the library, spend the day drawing, writing, having a long honest talk with a close friends about whatever has been on your mind lately (and if you have the same problem as me, you constantly have topics to rant about in your head).

Also, to the people who seek happiness in thinking ; there is some to be had when you actually erradicate a problem just by thought, but there is more presenting your thought, sharing it and opposing it to others. You just have to find other people like you who have things to say and few people to say them to.

So..
The only reason you're sad is because of your athletic abilities?
