I dont know why she does it, goes into deep thought, I think my grandmother knows but wouldnt say anything so I would rather ask you as you would tell me a truthful answer.

Hi mala!

I don't know that there is an exact answer to your question. I think there are way too many variables involved and trying to weed through each one to arrive at an answer would be exhausting and non-productive.

Is there something about this persons deep thinking that bothers you or upsets you? If so, what and why does it?

I can be a deep thinker although I believe that my mental health is pretty stable and positive. I can sit and ponder the existence of the world, the good and bad things about human nature and existence. I don't think my ability to do that has anything to do with any mental health issues I may have.

Wishing you well!
