Psychology says strong verbal skills may fuel overthinking and endless replay of conversations

Research indicates that individuals with strong verbal skills often engage in excessive worry and rumination following conversations. They may analyze past interactions excessively, considering possible meanings behind actions and words. While some reflection can lead to insights, it can also result in unproductive brooding without clear direction. Effective strategies include articulating thoughts clearly and distinguishing between facts and assumptions. Accepting imperfections in conversations can also help minimize unnecessary repetitive thinking.
