  Do you replay conversation and other social interactions you've had, later in your head?

For example, lets say you go to some social gathering where you talk to various people. After you get home, do you think about those conversations, remembering them and perhaps analyzing them.

Sometimes, trying to think how I could've better said something.

Only if, for some reason, they stuck in my mind, or somehow made me uncomfortable or concerned.

Not unless there was an uncomfortable argument of some sort.

I can get this very powerfully, to the point where I can't sleep and it's just overwhelming and annoying. I think it's a primary motivator for my introverted nature. I limit my social interactions because it's just too much baggage to deal with after.

I only do if something about the conversation made me uncomfortable, and if I didn't feel closure in a disagreement or something. Casual, fun lighthearted conversations don't have anything about them to 'rehash' in my head.

No I pretty much live in the moment and have fond memories of the event. There is no real rehash unless something remarkable happened. Like I got dumped or something.

All the time. I think of things I should have said and things I shouldn't have said. I don't socialize well. Not fast thinking enough for conversations with strangers and tend to say dumb things too at times. I avoid people most of the time.

Yes, but more frequently I run through possible scenarios in my head before they happen--something along the lines of practicing what I want to say (assuming it's the kind of a situation where I want to be consider what I say carefully) or imagining possible scenarios if it's something I'm a little worried or nervous about.

Yup. Sometimes I'll replay a really funny conversation I'd had with someone and laugh out loud. I usually try not to though because other people turn towards me like I'm crazy or something.

I only get bad stuff when it's one daft thing I've said. And that might pop in my head every so often,but that's it.

Yes. I sometimes get caught up in my own thoughts about these kinds of things as well. I have a very active imagination. You know JD on Scrubs? That's me.
