That's funny. I do the same stuff. I have conversations in my head to prepare myself for people I know I'm going to see. I think I'm half nuts. If this thread points out that a lot of people do this, it will take a huuuuge load off my mind. maybe not normal, but more average than people probably give it credit. i do it, too, but sometimes i will imagine these lavish arguments... that's probably the weird part. yeah, when i know i'm going to have some type of argument/showdown w someone, I go through it over and over, with each successive rehearsal being more dominating. And physically, I start to have the same reactions, as if I were actually fighting/arguing--increased blood pressure, agitation, etc. It's probably not healthy.
