Are You an Expert at Conversations That Only Happen in Your Head?

Have you ever spent an entire shower, your commute, a dog walk, or a sleepless night having a conversation that will likely never actually happen? Welcome to the club.

We have these imaginary conversations in our heads ALL the time.

We rehearse what we’re going to say, what the other person is going to say back, what we’re going to say next—and before we know it, we’ve written the entire scene and assigned everybody their lines.

But here’s what I want you to notice:

How often are YOU the center of the story?

They’re upset … you must have done something.

They’re being distant… they don’t like you anymore.

They didn’t text back… you must have said something wrong.

Their energy changed… something changed how they feel about you.

And suddenly you’re anxious, overthinking, analyzing every interaction, and trying to figure out what the hell happened.

Except…

You don’t actually know that anything happened.
