/Sounds like the English word "overthinking" (same pronunciation)/
The habit of overanalyzing everything until you mentally block yourself and cannot move forward. The torturous loop of going over the same situation from every angle without reaching a useful conclusion, usually activating right when you are trying to fall asleep. Widely used across Latin America and Spain as a borrowed English term.
“My problem is overthinking: I go around in circles on everything before making any decision.”
“Overthinking has sabotaged more than one relationship for me, I am a mess.”

Encuevarse
To disappear from social life and hole up somewhere private, like an animal retreating to its cave. In Mexico, when you encuevarte you stop answering calls, skip going out, and cut contact with the world until you feel ready to resurface. It can be a response to conflict, heartbreak, or simply needing a real break from people.
