Psychology of People Who Replay Every Conversation in Their Head

You had a conversation three hours ago. And you're still replaying it. Word for word. Over and over. Wondering if you said something wrong, if they took it the wrong way, if you came across badly. If that's you, this video explains why.

Today we're breaking down the psychology of people who replay every conversation in their head like it's a movie they can't stop watching. From rumination and negative bias to social anxiety and perfectionism, we explain exactly what's happening in your brain when you can't let a conversation go.

🧠 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
Why your brain replays conversations obsessively
The science of "rumination" vs healthy reflection
How negative bias distorts your memories
Why you replay conversations that went fine
The connection to social anxiety and perfectionism
Why it's exhausting (even though nothing happened)
How to break the mental replay loop
Why you're not broken (just wired differently)

If you lie awake at night analyzing conversations from hours or days ago, this is for you.
