Handling Confrontation
So like... does anyone else constantly practice conversations in their head/or out loud??? Is it like an anxiety thing??? Because for me it's super annoying but idk how to let it go. It's usually people I'm mad at and don't want to think about lol.
@HidaYasu omg me xD didn't even realise it could be an anxiety thing but I think yes it's an anxiety thing too 💀
ikr so annoying when we subconsciously keep practicing conversations like that's gonna help ..
what helps you calm down when you're mad at someone?
@Optimisticempath
Usually distractions? Funny shows or movies to help me laugh. Good shows or books. Or sometimes writing it out helps.
@HidaYasu those are great ways to distract from the overwhelming feelings
what shows do you like watching?
@Optimisticempath
Honestly I watch a lot of anime. I just got finished watching Life lessons with Uramichi-Oniisan. It's dark humor but it makes me laugh.
@HidaYasu it's good to have something that makes is laugh or even keeps company :)
Yep facing the same issue.
@HidaYasu
It's like having these imaginary conversations playing on repeat in your mind, right? I think a lot of us do this as a way to process our emotions or mentally prepare for interactions. It's like we're trying to figure out the best way to express ourselves or come up with clever responses. Sometimes, it can even be a way to vent our frustrations without actually confronting the person. However, if it's bothering you and you want to let it go, it might be helpful to find alternative ways to manage your anger

Yeah for me it might be the "mentally preparing part"... I'm starting to think maybe it's a pride thing? Like I want things to be perfect. But of course, things don't go the way we want in our head, so for me it hurts more than helps. Yeah I may need to figure out ways to channel my anger/frustrations or whatever. I just don't know where to start.
