Replaying a conversation isn't overthinking — it's an open loop. Learn the three things that keep it running (something unsaid, undecided, or unaccepted) and how to choose your next honest move.
You leave the conversation, but it doesn't leave you.

We tend to call that overthinking. It isn't. It's an Open Loop — something in that conversation that's still unsaid, undecided, or unaccepted. Your mind isn't punishing you. It's trying to complete something.

You don't need a dramatic ending. You need a clear direction.
Then ask yourself: what conversation are you still replaying — and what is it asking you to do?
