Reactions to cognitive overload You may respond to cognitive overload in different ways based on external factors and internal behaviors, including:

        Paralysis
    Being unable to deal with a topic or issue because it's more complex than you're able to manage.
    Anger
    If information doesn't fit with the way you think or feel, you may become angry at having your feelings or beliefs challenged. Repeated attempts to address a topic may lead to feelings of upset or anxiousness.
    Passivity
    Simply going along with others is a way of dealing with cognitive overload. Forming an opinion on a topic may feel overwhelming, while following someone else's lead is the easiest way to cope.
