Psychology of People Who OVERTHINK Text MESSAGES

Описание: If you’ve ever reread a text message ten times before sending it, analyzed a short reply for hidden meaning, or felt anxious waiting for someone to respond… this video is for you.

Today we break down the psychology of people who overthink text messages, why your brain does it, what it actually means, and how digital communication affects the way we interpret social signals.
