Houseplanting

Overanalyzing or creating discontentment in relationships, friendships, life, or other things when the actual cause of unhappiness is similar to the needs of a houseplant, like not getting enough Vitamin D or drinking enough water.

Jamie: Did you hear that Gary was really sad today? Apparently life isn't serving him all that well after all.
Oliver: He's just houseplanting. Get him some food and a nap and he'll be fine.
