The downside to this habit is when I have conversations with people in my head, for example with my new doctor, in my mind we have covered anything I want to discuss but when I speak to him in person, I am caught off guard by what he says, since that is not at all the way the conversation went in my mind!  |
I think it may be anxiety related. The reason I think that is because in past relationships I imagine girlfriends telling me terrible things like they cheated on me or other things that I don't think I can post here. The thoughts are so intense that I start believing them and end the relationship.
I've also been caught off guard by conversations sometimes because I feel like they have already taken place, but this time they don't go anything like I thought they did. The other side to this is that I have extremely vivid dreams and feel like things have happened when they were really just a dream, very hard to determine what really happened and what was a dream.
