    By the way: Единственное, что задумывает меня ...

    In this context this verb is correct?
    Чем больше слов, тем меньше они стоят.

    Oh, somehow I overlooked this one. No, this is entirely not correct, up to the point of being nonsense.

    Задумывать/задумать is mentally decide to do something or mentally choose something.

    Они задумали ограбление - They decided to commit a robbery.
    Задумай число от 1 до 10.

    What you need here is something like:

    Единственное, что заставляет меня задуматься...
    Единственное, что ставит меня в тупик (like a deadend)

    I do not claim that my opinion is absolutely true.
    If you've spotted any mistake in my English, please, correct it. I want to be aware of any mistakes to efficiently eliminate them before they become a habit.

    iCake now that we mentioned this please help me to translate effectively a similar structure:
    - Sometimes your behavior makes me wonder about your real intentions.

    Again the correct translation is: заставлять меня задумываться
    Чем больше слов, тем меньше они стоят.
