All the time and it weirds me out. I didn't do it as a kid; I didn't start doing it until I reached college. Makes me wonder if it's a part of, or a remnant of, depression and/or anxiety.
I used to do it a lot as a kid but I think a I've gotten less socually anxious I don't really do it anymore
Definitely can be. It's your body trying to control the future situations to not get emotionally hurt like you once did, by trying to map out all possible events. It just ends up as 10 negative thoughts instead of 1 potentially negative experience, so overall it is not good for you.
I wouldn't say it would never happen. I at least think it might happen and I like to prepare for confrontation.
The human brain is fascinating in its ability to play through hypothetical scenarios for preparedness. Nobody has much of a clue how we do it either.
bro :D
