I’m mad at people for things they never actually said

r/

Sometimes I rehearse arguments in my head… and get genuinely mad at people for things they never said.

Like, I’ll be taking a shower or walking somewhere, and suddenly I’m in this intense debate with someone from my past, absolutely destroying them with comebacks I wish I’d thought of in the moment. Then I catch myself actually feeling angry at them even though the whole conversation only happened in my imagination.

No one even knows I’m mad. Because they didn’t do anything. My brain just likes to stir the pot, apparently.

Anyone else do this? Or am I just delulu?

    You create what-if’s in your mind, many people do this but just remember what you make up isn’t real.
