Am I the only one who plays out whole situation and confrontations in my head? With people and situations who may or may not exist or have any significance?
Maybe it's just me 😂

I often rune situations through my own little simulator
And sometimes I am way off.
Yes! Me too 😂
Sounds like rumination 🫂
I do it all the time - several times a day.
I once read that we 'practice life' in our minds to be better prepared and to integrate the information we already have.
Sometimes I think I get a little carried away with it, and I laugh a little at myself, but I don't repress it. I'll rehearse an argument or ponder making the first move in a street fight, and then try to analyze how I did and what I should have done differently.
It's no different than running computer simulations or practicing a skill. It's your mind practicing and preparing itself.
You might need to tone it down a bit if you physically injure yourself. I haven't done that....yet. I have upset the dog quite a few times, though.
