Replay and Rumination: The Anxiety of Conversations
This chapter examines the tendency to replay past conversations, particularly during our twenties, and the associated feelings of anxiety and insecurity. It highlights how this behavior, driven by a desire for connection, often leads to rumination on social exchanges and perceived failures. The discussion addresses the psychological implications of overthinking and the impact of rejection sensitivity on social interactions.
