意思
To have many confusing or conflicting thoughts; to be mentally overwhelmed.
文化背景
The 'Pali-pali' (hurry-hurry) culture often leads to burnout, making '머리가 복잡하다' a very common social complaint. Koreans often use this phrase to avoid giving a direct 'no' or to avoid sharing too many personal details while still asking for understanding. In K-Dramas, this phrase is a staple for the 'second lead' character who is torn between love and duty.
Use with '좀' (a bit)
Adding '좀' (머리가 좀 복잡해요) makes you sound much more natural and humble when complaining.
Not for physical pain
Never use this at a pharmacy or hospital. They will think you are looking for a therapist, not medicine!
