RE: "At Least I'm Doing Something!"
Compulsive doing seems a lot like the habit of some people entering the waiting room at the doctor's office and compulsively start talking to people about anything, perhaps because the idea of being alone with their thoughts in silence terrifies them. Not-doing terrifies some people, too, almost as if they are somehow wasting life if they are not attempting to do something about any and all situations.
At times we might be given to wonder whether they are truly trying to solve the problem, or merely doing the equivalent of nervously tapping their feet.
Yes, some people really like to talk, and can't just be in quiet. Or can't be alone. I enjoy it :) Thinking and refection is good :)
Good point, many people see it as a waste of their life if they aren't doing something. Doing other things that aren't physically moving is like wasting away, wasting their life. But how about the doing of thinking in consciousness hehe.
