Thank you for sharing. I actually looked this up (getting worked up over imaginary conversations) and a lot of articles came up, which helped me feel less alone! Apparently it's a defensive mechanism to help us feel protected, like we won't be "blindsided" by a conflict. To stop this endless back and forth in my mind, I remind myself that it's impossible to predict every single thing and furthermore, most times it turns out better than what I expected (as was the case with my mom).
