I dont see why it would be.
I brush alot too, I hate a dirty mouth!
Your fine though!

not if it dont hurt i guess....but if i did that my gums would probably be sore.....

Nope most dentist would praise you. Granted that you are not doing it so aggresively that you are damaging the enamel on the teeth. Also use a good overall dental tooth paste (ADA certified of course). Regularly replace tooth brush or brush heads.
Make sure to floss also! A good oral rinse is a good friend also!

6-10 times is a bit aggressive...use a soft toothbrush, and be gentle..Too vigorous brushing can cause gum recession.
Try brushing just your tongue half of the time...

No need to brush 6-10 times. This leads to the wearing of ur enamel (abrasion). Usually the neck of ur teeth will wear easily and this leads to exposure of root canal in future. It`s good to brush after each meal. If u brush properly 4-5 mins is enough for brushing

3-4 is enough 6-10 is too much

No its only bad if your brushing too hard then you will damage your gums you should be brushing gentlely with a soft tooth brush up from the bottom and down from the top. If you brush too hard you are just giving the dentist work
