I pretend to be calm, but in my head I’m arguing with people 24/7.

r/

I feel like I spend half my life replaying fake arguments in my head. At work, with family, random people on the street… even strangers who did nothing. I win every argument up there. Out here? I just smile and nod. Anyone else doing this or am I broken?

    O i do this a lot. I was in the supermarket with a friend and someone bumped me and said sorry and i said its okay in a really sweet tone. My friend was like “I know you cursed him out in your head lol” and i was like “Thats totally true”. It keeps me sane lol!

    Not the only one. What bugs me is how many times the same argument/convo happens. I have to find something to focus on to break the loop and get on with life lol

    I’m genuinely shocked this mental sparring match stuff isn’t more obvious, I mean, I’d win every argument in my head, but I just nod along out here… and occasionally bark at the mailman because he’s still not delivering the damn treats for the dog.

    The worst is lying in bed at 3 AM, perfectly crafting responses to arguments that happened six years ago. Like, thanks brain, really needed that replay of when Sarah from accounting criticized my presentation in 2017.
