Add a word/Sounds like "chah" (as in "chat") + "KEH" (as in "kept") + "tah" (as in "tar") + "mehn" (as in "met") + "TAHL" (as in "tar")/
Meaning
Overthinking something so much that you end up convincing yourself of things that probably aren't even true. You spiral inside your own head, usually about what others think of you or how a situation unfolded, with no reality check. Basically: living rent-free in your own brain.
Examples
“Stop overthinking it, just ask her directly.”
“He spent two hours spiraling over why she hadn't texted back.”
