to be overly concerned or obsessed with something (often a past event, person, or problem) · to be unable to move past something emotionally
Have you ever found yourself constantly thinking about an ex, or a mistake you made weeks ago? This expression perfectly captures that feeling when you just can't let something go! 🤔 It's like your brain has a sticky note stuck on one particular thing.
💡 **Mental Sticky Note!** You often use this expression with 'still' to emphasize the ongoing nature of the obsession. For example, 'She's *still* hung up on her old job.' It can apply to people, events, or even trivial details you can't stop thinking about. Remember, it usually implies a negative or unproductive fixation!
When would you most appropriately use the expression 'to be hung up on something'? A. When you're excited about an upcoming vacation. B. When you can't stop thinking about a past mistake or relationship. C. When you're completely relaxed after a long day of work.
