The conversations I'll probably never have.

[Daydreamer]

Do you ever think about having a conversation with someone repeatedly, even though it is unlikely that this conversation will ever occur? I do. Sometimes I'll daydream about it randomly.

The same situation, the same conversation over and over. I might even get sick of it, but can't seem to stop. Usually it does though. Eventually.

A recent one was when someone touched upon a sensitive subject for me. They had no way of knowing this, because we hadn't talked about my past in any detail. So I kept thinking about what I would say if they inquired any further. They didn't. I was relieved, and the thoughts stopped.

However, then another one appeared. It featured telling a person the truth about something I had lied about ages ago. Mainly out of curiosity, because I began to wonder what would happen if I told them the truth when I next met them. But it wouldn't make much sense if I did. It would be completely out of nowhere, most likely they have probably forgotten about it. A non-issue that probably wouldn't make much sense to them if I brought it up.

I used to think about the things I'd love to say to those I held grudges against or otherwise had unresolved business with. Now that I've accepted things and moved on, I no longer have these potential (albeit unlikely to happen) conversations in my mind.

Yes all the time. It is useful having thought of things first because I don't do well when put on the spot.

YES! Victory!!!
That's not scared, I just wanted a face that's yelling.

Victory!

My first thread when I came here described what you're describing, and a lot of people related to the general idea of it but nobody related to it in exactly the way I described.

And now you did!

Thanks for making the thread, Miss Daydreamer!

Lots of people, lots of conversations.

My mother died many years ago,so I still have a snippet available to use.
Occasionally mother's can be asked about in conversation.

Person : ' How is your mother?'
Me ' She's dead '
Person ' I'm sorry '
Me ' why? Did you kill her?'

Though that isn't quite in topic but I do have lots of conversations I'll never have.
Sometimes it's rehearsal .
Sometimes e'sprit de l'escalier

é'sprit de l'escalier (rough translation)> *staircase wit*

 

[Graphin]

Yes

 

[Progster]

Yes. It's useful as a rehearsal to help me to prepare for the real conversation I will have some day. The real conversation rarely goes as I imagined, though.

Ah, you must be talking about this thread: Repetitive Thoughts

Thanks for making the thread, Mr. Daydreamer!

No problem. Also, I know this a nitpick, but Miss Daydreamer would be more accurate.

Yes, how did you know!?

That's not all that nitpicky, I'm a sexist bastard and a fool! I just edited it.

Taking it literally

Taking it literally

I meant it literally! I assume people are men all the time, unless they're the jobs people assume are women. I'm a follower!
And I'm sure it's been self-evident that I'm a fool.

And I'm sure it's been self-evident that I'm a fool

Takes one to know one.

 

[tducey]

Yeah. A conversation with a child- my child about life.

 

[Aspychata]

l always want to say "as opposed to what" in response to whatever they are saying

 

[Kirsty]

All the time. I daydream constantly while also being in touch with reality.

 

[Vindicator Phoenix]

Yes. My brain visualizes upcoming outcomes from past interactions.

Whether it predicts correctly, or not, it gives me a way to handle the outcome, if that particular outcome was imagined.

For example, if I'm walking, to someone's house, my brain might ask the following:

• What will I do, if no one answers the door?
• What will I do, if I meet the person I expect to answer?
• What will I do, if someone else answers?

Once I think of a solution, to these three possible outcomes, I play out what I've planned, once I realize which one has arisen, in reality.
