Is it normal to imagine having a conversation between you and another? And like reply to yourself with what you think they might say. Not necessarily aloud, but in your head.
Yeah, I did that when I found out I was pregnant. Had to go through all the reactions my boyfriend would have.
I still do it when I have to prepare to tell somebody some sort of news.
I do that all the time, either to recite what I'm going to say or to replay a conversation that already happened.
I'm pretty sure it's normal.
0Yeah I think it's perfectly normal, especially if your nervous or anticipating the way you think a conversation is going to go.
Aye, I think it's normal, I do it when I'm nervous about talkin to someone and am scared to say the wrong thing
Totally normal. As long as it's in your head and you don't start having conversations with yourself
Ike a crazy person
Wasn't sure if it was, but now I feel better about it cn so many comments about it. And I do it in the mirror is that worse?
when i was a kid i use to whisper really quietly random conversations that i might have the next day at school or if something horrible happened or if someone asked me out lol even having arguments with another person i would sort of.. reherse? lol and try make comebacks to whatever they might say. (but really i make up what they say too so i can use either). I think maybe cos i was the fat girl in class and was extremely shy to say anything EVER to kids around me. When people made fun of me i would do the conversation thing more. I always did it before going to sleep because no matter how early id go to bed id be awake way past the time everyone else went to bed just thinking and imagining things.
lol sorry about the long spiel i just didnt know if others did it aswel and iv almost completely stopped doing it now i think, because i say whatever im thinking except hurtful things now. I'm not obese anymore (almost less then average wieght) and have alot of friends nowdays. I dont feel the need to argue in my head as much either because i dont get teased anymore. If you read this, why do u think u do it? and what kind of people do you 'converse' with?
i do that when im trying to convince myself of something... or some one else
Wow... Now this is one I haven't done, and I am as strange as they come!
its way normal. i do it. i even catch myself making hand gestures haha it happens not only with convos but random scenarios. i also have family guy moment in my head.
i do that all the time...
just to get it what would've happened in case
or how well versed i could have been
Lol...I do that allll the time. I though I was sad or something. I hope its normal because I do it.
It is a great way to work out problems or try something you want to tell others and have it just right
Wow, i do that all the time ever since i was little but now that i am a psychology major i realise this is just how i deal with my shyness and in security over meeting new people and starting conversations. very effective btw.
Lol I do that too, I kinda make up jokes ,,about what they might say....
I'd say it's normal, but I wouldn't say it's healthy...It separates you more from the person you're talking to because your current interaction is being viewed through the lens of the script you came up with in your head.
Better to let the conversation flow naturally. More of a genuine connection that way.
yeah i do it all the time hahah. on the herbal essences shampoo bottle there's a fact that the #1 person you'll talk most to in life is yourself. So, i'd definantly say it's normal.
i guess u dont really need my comment but im gonna leave one anyway :P
Yes, everyone does it. Its to do with your conscience. Most people do this to rehearse something they need to remember or something they may have to combat in, say, a debate or in court.
In some cases people have a bit of a "role play" thing going on there. I guess it all depends on how big of an imagination someone has.
As a writer, I often think up conversations that would sound well with the story i am writing.
hehe. that last part had nothing to do with this but oh well.
take care all
I can so relate to this :) its normal :) at the end of the day it shows you care enough to plan ahead in the conversation.
i do that alot,, mainly rite before i go to sleep..
and only the stuff that im kinda excited about..
:)
yep its normal
i do it when im nervous and not sure how to tell someone something
I do this a lot and my friend has admitted to me that he does this as well...i think its normal...SOMEONE READ MY POSTS...I NEED TO KNOW IF WHAT I DO IS NORMAL
i do this too, a way to analyze the possible reactions a conversation might happen. i do it just because! not because i am nervous, but to see later if i know the person as much to know what they would say :)
:3<3
Yes, this is completely normal. I do this, but I do it aloud. So I really wouldn't worry about it !
I do it as well lol don't think its normal though,it happens when i'm on my own bored n there's no one to speak to so ya just make up a load of bull up to yourself lol
