Do you have imaginary conversations in your head? - Page 4

i talk to other people in my head waaaaay after i've left them physically. my grandfather who is 93 talks to people from his childhood in another country by himself. i have a theory about this. ahem. when we talk to people who aren't there we are praying to them. sorry for the religious notion. but that's all i could do to express the link between conversations with no one and conversations with real people. maybe it's not religious at all. short-term memory adjustment? idk.

Oh, yeah. It's fantastic. I missed my imagination.

"Are you talking to me??"

Yes. All the time. I drive a lot....and sometimes without a radio.

I still do. . . talking to famous people, people I know, fictional people, etc. . . I catch myself and then start a conversation about how I have conversations in my head. . . then I catch myself again.

I guess I'm just the eternal introvert

No need to apologize, though I have a separate idea. . .

I think that talking honestly to people is a great fantasy that we have. Not only that, but when we have great ideas, it is wonderful to throw them out in your head in a conversation. . . you speak eloquently. . . the other person doesn't talk, they just hear you out.

In reality people are quite rude and interrupt you and question you and don't let you get to your points. . . or you feel threatened by their presence and stammer on your words.
