Emotions & feelings
get caught up in your own head

To become so focused on your thoughts and worries that you stop paying attention to what is happening around you.
Hear it in real life
You were very quiet during the meeting.
Sorry, I got caught up in my own head for a while.
When I am tired, I get caught up in my own head and imagine problems that are not there.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: I got caught ‸ in my ‸ head before the interview.
Say: I got caught up in my own head before the interview.
The phrase needs caught up in and usually includes a possessive such as my or your.
Build it
