WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Stop overthinking and carrying all this guilt while dating me; you need to relax and open up.”
💡 Cultural Insight: From Political Jargon to Everyday Slang

The term for 'mental baggage' originally gained popularity in mid-20th-century political and ideological discourse to describe outdated mindsets holding people back. Today, it is completely secularized and commonly used in daily and romantic contexts to mean psychological pressure or overthinking.
