personally find it extremely unfair that endlessly mentally rehearsing how you'd handle absurd confrontations doesn't actually make it any easier to handle absurd confrontations because that's like 80% of my mental idle loop

And then when one of those absurd confrontations happen, they end up completely deviating from the hundreds of thousands of script variations rehearsed. 😭
Endlessly rehearsing conversations, going over what if's, and what abouts? And then my brain just goes flat when something remotely close does happen 😔
Such a big mood, my brain either wants to do that or I'm recounting things to myself as though I'm explaining them to somebody else.
Getting on ADHD medication has helped a bit in breaking free of the thought circuit.
